Captain Cooks review: the short version

Captain Cooks is an established brand, in business since 2003. In our review, its main strengths are C$5 first deposit, 10 payment methods and running since 2003, while the weak points are few rewards for regulars and slow withdrawals.

With a score of 6.7/10 it sits in the lower half of our ranking. That figure comes from Captain Cooks's published terms, not its bonus size: licence, wagering, stated payout speed, games, payments and extras. Payments scores best, extras worst. Read on for Captain Cooks's licence and safety, how to log in and register, its bonus maths, games, cashier, app, province availability and closest rivals.

Is Captain Cooks legit and safe in Canada?

Yes. Captain Cooks is registered in Ontario and Alberta, which means it is approved by iGaming Ontario, the AGCO and the AGLC and must follow provincial rules on fair games, identity checks, advertising and complaints. Registered sites are the safest choice for players in those provinces.

The operator is Fresh Horizons Ltd. Licences listed: Kahnawake and UKGC. Before you deposit, check that the licence number in the site's footer matches the regulator's public register; our legit online casinos guide shows how. On our safety scale Captain Cooks rates Good.

See casino licences explained for how provincial registration compares with other regulators, and how to complain about a casino if a withdrawal is refused.

Captain Cooks sister sites

Fresh Horizons Ltd also runs Golden Tiger and Zodiac Casino on our list. Sister sites share an operator, and often a cashier, support team and licence, but bonuses and limits can differ, so compare their reviews before choosing.

Captain Cooks login and official site

The official site is captaincookscasino.com. To log in, open the site, choose Log in, and enter the email or username and password you registered with. If you forget the password, use the reset link on the login form; it is sent to your registered email.

Only enter your Captain Cooks password on captaincookscasino.com. Phishing pages that copy casino logins are common. A provincially registered site only uses its approved domain. Use two-factor authentication if Captain Cooks offers it.

You must be 19 or older to play in most provinces, or 18 in Alberta, Manitoba and Quebec. See our gambling age by province guide and the KYC verification guide for the documents casinos ask for.

Captain Cooks bonus: C$475 + 100 FS over first deposits

New players get C$475 + 100 FS over first deposits. The casino does not publish the wagering on its promotions page, so read the bonus terms before you opt in.

Key terms: the minimum deposit to qualify is C$5, it includes 100 free spins (large spin offers are often paid in daily batches) and the offer is spread over several deposits. As with most bonuses, expect a maximum bet of about C$5 to C$7.50 while wagering and slots counting 100% while table and live games count far less. Use our wagering calculator to check the numbers for your deposit.

Captain Cooks promo code

Captain Cooks games and software providers

How to withdraw from Captain Cooks
