Captain Cooks Casino

About Captain Cooks Casino

Captain Cooks Casino is part of the huge Casino Rewards group, but not many of their casinos are UK facing so you may not have come across one of them before. It’s so old that it began life as that old fashioned beast, a download casino and although there is now a browser version (which is the only way to play on mobile devices), it still looks extremely dated.

Yes, the home page looks like one of those Get Rich Quick flyers you might receive in the post from time to time. Yes, the wagering requirements are pretty horrendous. But dodgy as they look, they have been in operation for more than 20 years and have a bona fide UK Gambling Commission licence.

The welcome offer at Captain Cooks used to be based around 100 chances to win an unspecified jackpot but has now changed to a much more conventional bonus offer, unfortunately still with eye-popping wagering requirements.

Getting Started At Captain Cooks Casino

To register at Captain Cooks Casino, you must first opt into the welcome offer and confirm that you’ve read the terms and conditions. Once you’ve made your deposit, you’ll get a pop up awarding your bonus.

The casino lobby is considerably more modern looking than the page you first land on; it’s hosted on a different URL so it’s a good idea to bookmark it. You will also be assigned a hard to remember username (letters and numbers) so be sure to keep a note of it somewhere.

Slot Games At Brand

For many years Captain Cooks Casino had games from just one provider – Microgaming. That has changed for the better following the takeover of Microgaming by Games Global; now they have games from all of the providers distributed by Games Global and although that still majors on Microgaming, newer and more exciting studios such as Stormcraft and Just For The Win are also part of the package. They have also recently added Big Bass Bonanza and around 80 other games by Pragmatic Play. So there’s plenty of games to choose from, especially if you’d like to take a deep dive into the very extensive Microgaming back catalogue with its many progressive jackpots.

The slot games are organised into themed “rooms” such as Epic Saga, Vegas Vibes and Catch of the Day and this can be really helpful when you’re looking from something new to play.

As well as slots, there’s scratchcards, crash games, video bingo and other non slot games in the Variety section and lots of casino games in the Tables section.  There’s also more than 20 video poker titles which appear in their own lobby area.

Visit the Live Casino part of the lobby and you’ll see what looks like just two game tiles but actually, one is for the Pragmatic Play live lobby and one for the Evolution live lobby; open either of them up and you’ll find a great selection of live dealer roulette, blackjack and game shows.  It’s a slightly awkward process to get from here back to the main lobby as you’ll need to touch or click on the casino logo to get the Games link to reappear at the bottom of the screen.

Other Considerations

The wagering requirements at Captain Cooks Casino are excessive compared to many other online casinos. To set against this, they have RTPs set at the high end of the range on games like 9 Masks of Fire (last checked in May 2025), although there is no longer a list of game RTPs on site and you need to check the game help files to find out what they are.

Promotions at Captain Cook’s Casino are all tied into the player rewards system, with not much available at the lowest level (for May 2025, the only promotion was a double loyalty points promotion on a specified game).  Reach a higher level and you can take part in a network raffle, but it’s not possible to see what the prizes are unless you’ve already reached that level.

Customer support is done via live chat and I found it to be speedy and helpful.

Final Thoughts

If you want a modern, slick design or don’t want to be restricted to Games Global, you’ve come to the wrong place. But then again, the Microgaming back catalogue includes many all time classics, and even though the welcome offer is not quite as good as it once was it’s still pretty competitive.
