This New Blackjack Tournament Has a $100K Prize Pool and a 10-Ounce Gold Bar Up for Grabs
Blackjack is one of the most popular casino card games on the planet, and one that can bring high stakes and impressive payouts for those lucky enough to make it to the top. It’s a game that runs the spectrum from casual players to proper high rollers — those ready to go big or go home and do it in style. While large in-person tournaments are not especially uncommon, the rise of online gaming has created a plethora of new ways to get into the game from the comfort of one’s own home.
Canada’s own NorthStar Gaming is taking that online competition to the next level, offering up the opportunity to compete for a 10-ounce gold bar and a piece of a $100,000 prize pool during the inaugural online NorthStar Blackjack Championship.
The tournament runs October 21 through November 25, and has no entry fee. For the first four weeks, players have a chance to rack up points and move up the ranks. After four weeks of competitive play, the top 50 players in overall points (plus the winners of each week) will be invited to compete in the “Showdown for the Crown,” which will see the winner take home that specially engraved 10-ounce NorthStar gold bar, valued at $35,000. Those interested can review the full set of guidelines and rules, and formally enter the tournament by downloading the NorthStar app, or by visiting the NorthStar Bets website to learn more.
“We believe this is a first-of-its-kind tournament for not only NorthStar, but Canada,” said Michael Moskowitz, Chair and CEO of NorthStar Gaming through a press release.
NorthStar Gaming is one of Canada’s trusted names in gaming, operating both Northstarbets.ca in Ontario and Northstarbets.com outside the province as part of an expansion in May 2022. The company operates an online casino and sportsbook that’s a source of trust, consistency, and guidance for Ontarians pursuing a reliable gaming experience. In May 2024, the company announced that it surpassed $1 billion in total wagers since the launch of the nationwide expansion in 2022.
Earlier this year, the company also launched Sports Insights 2.0, a sports analytics platform with additions including premium MLB and NFL player and team statistics.
For the NorthStar Blackjack Tournament players will have the right to choose individual wagers placed per game. Open to legal Ontario residents, 19+ only.
