Ontario's regulated online market
NorthStar Bets Blackjack Championship
$100,000 prize pool
Ontario, online (AGCO-regulated) · First-place prize included a 10-ounce NorthStar gold bar valued at approximately $35,000 · NorthStar Bets' first-ever blackjack tournament, open to registered Ontario players during the entry window.
Ontario's regulated online gambling market, overseen by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), has produced at least one genuinely major blackjack tournament: NorthStar Bets' inaugural $100,000 blackjack championship, open to Ontario residents with the tournament winner awarded a physical 10-ounce gold bar as the headline prize rather than a straightforward cash payout - a distinctive touch among the tournaments in this guide.
Land-based Ontario properties, including Casino Niagara, run seasonal tournament series through Ontario Lottery and Gaming, though their confirmed public schedules center on poker rather than blackjack specifically - Casino Niagara's own seasonal "Main Event" series, for instance, runs as a No Limit Hold'em poker tournament rather than a blackjack event. Worth checking directly with individual Ontario Lottery and Gaming properties for any current blackjack-specific promotions, since this is an area of Canada's gambling market that shifts often.
