Hello!

We’re excited to share an exciting update about the content experience you’ve come to know and trust.

Since we launched, Sports Insights has become a go-to destination for premium casino and sports betting content and analysis on NorthStar Bets. As our content has expanded to include team and player stats, to casino game review articles, and real-time RotoWire injury feeds, we felt it’s time for a new name that better reflects the value and scope of our offerings.

That’s why Sports Insights is becoming The Boost.

Why “The Boost”?

Our mission is give you the insights, tips, tools, and resources to make more informed bets. Whether that’s breaking down a Monday Night Football game, exploring NBA prop markets, checking NHL stats, or learning more about the latest online slot titles.

The Boost represents how our content has evolved to support every type of player — sports and casino — and our commitment to raise the bar for locally relevant, premium Canadian betting content.
