Captain Cooks Casino Review

Rating: 3/5

Captain Cooks Casino looks like it hasn’t changed one bit since it was launched back in the year 2000, and that goes for the HUGE welcome offer as well as the design.

What is there to say about Captain Cooks Casino?

Yes, this is that old fasioned beast, a download casino and although there is now a browser version (which is the only way to play on mobile devices), it’s still looks very dated and there’s not much choice of games beyond Microgaming; almost everything that’s available comes from the feed of Games Global who now own Microgaming’s distribution arm and back catalogue. 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 (not that you would care about that if you did win the Mega Moolah with the welcome offer). But dodgy as they look, they have been in operation for 20 years and have a bona fide UK Gambling Commission licence – and just look at the size of that welcome bonus! Whether you choose to view it as 100 chances to win the Mega Moolah, or as the £25 slot bonus it actually is, it’s by far the most generous offer, in percentage terms, that you’ll find at any online casino.

If you want a modern, slick design or a wide range of different game providers to choose from rather than taking a deep dive into the very extensive Microgaming back catalogue, you’ve come to the wrong place. But then again, the Microgaming back catalogue includes many all time classics – and once more with feeling, just look at the size of that welcome bonus!

Safer Gambling Provision

The Responsible Gambling page at Captain Cook’s Casino is much newer and more up to date than the casino itself (it was last updated in 2022) but is still fairly basic, with nothing on offer apart from the safer gambling tools mandated by the Gambling Commission – deposit limits, take a break and self exclusion (reality check is also mandated so we assume they have it even though they don’t mention it).
