Enhanced content and added features strengthen a key NorthStar Bets differentiator

NorthStar Gaming Holdings Inc. (TSXV: BET) (OTCQB: NSBBF) (‘NorthStar’ or the ‘Company’) today announced the launch across all NorthStar Bets online and mobile betting platforms of ‘Sports Insights 2.0,’ a robust set of enhancements and new features added to its industry-leading content vertical.

Sports Insights is a key differentiating feature that supports NorthStar’s position as a premium brand and industry leader at the intersection of iGaming and media. A key pillar of Sports Insights’ content offering is analysis of upcoming events, betting strategies, predictions and tips, with original articles produced daily by the Company’s in-house team of sports writers. As announced this past February, NorthStar embarked on a significant enhancement of Sports Insights with upgrades and new features rolled out throughout 2024.

‘Sports Insights 2.0 has been a major focus for our team this year and we are thrilled to share these new features with our customers,’ said Michael Moskowitz, Chair and CEO of NorthStar. ‘Players have told us they place a high value on the ability to access quality, in-depth stats and information seamlessly within our betting environment. This differentiates us from competing platforms that continue to require players to use multiple apps to access the same information. The added content should keep our players engaged and help them make informed betting decisions.’

Highlights of new features and tools introduced for Sports Insights 2.0 include:

A redesigned home page offering an improved user experience, a three-story rotating carousel showcasing the most important content, articles grouped by topic (MLB, NFL, casino, etc.) and a ‘Live Now’ strip promoting live betting markets and other promotional priorities.

More casino content, including tips, strategies, game reviews and casino lifestyle articles.

A comprehensive suite of team and player statistics for major league sports including football, baseball, hockey, and basketball.

Enhanced coverage of popular betting sports such as soccer, NCAA football and CFL.

Injury and player news feeds for NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL from industry leader RotoWire.

Sports Insights has proven to be a valuable driver of player engagement and betting activity, with many players reading articles and consuming stats and injury news prior to placing their bets. Frequent Sports Insights visitors, in comparison to non-readers, generate 118% higher average deposits, 58% higher average casino turnover, and 110% higher average sports turnover.1

Sports Insights content is regularly distributed across social media (@NorthStarBet) and through third-party media partners, and serves as an important acquisition and retention tool for NorthStar Bets. To view Sports Insights content, please visit www.northstarbets.ca/sportsbook/news.

Following the completion of this milestone, the Company will continue to make incremental enhancements to Sports Insights based on ongoing user feedback and an evolving product roadmap.
