Captain Cook Casino operates at captaincookcasino.co.uk under a Great Britain remote casino licence held by Apollo Entertainment Limited. You can confirm that yourself in about ninety seconds, and we would rather you did than take our word for it.
What the register confirms
Searching the Gambling Commission's public register by the domain captaincookcasino.co.uk returns Apollo Entertainment Limited, account 38620, holding licence 038620-R-319310-013 — a remote licence covering casino activity, active since 1 November 2014 with no end date recorded. The operator is lawfully permitted to offer online casino games to customers in Great Britain.
The thing most reviews leave out
Captain Cook Casino is not a standalone company. It is one of 27 brands running under that single licence and that single operator. Aztec Riches Casino, Blackjack Ballroom, Casino Action, Casino Classic, Casino Kingdom and 21 others are the same business behind different artwork.
The brand on the door is paint. The company behind the counter is the same.
- Self-exclusion should cover all of them. Excluding yourself here should close the other 26 too, because the obligation sits with the operator rather than the brand.
- One complaints route. A dispute goes to the same company, under broadly the same terms, and to the same alternative dispute resolution provider.
- Verification is shared. Identity and source-of-funds checks are run by the operator, so a block at one brand tends to follow you.
None of that is improper — multi-brand operation is ordinary. It is just rarely disclosed, and it means a list of ten casinos is not necessarily ten choices. We wrote about that at length.
What we have not checked
We have not tested this site. We have not timed a withdrawal, opened an account, or put its support desk under pressure, so we are not going to award it a score. A licence tells you an operator is lawful. It does not tell you whether it is good.
- Withdrawal times, per method, in writing. Many operators publish none.
- Which fund-protection tier applies. It must be disclosed — here is why it matters.
- Whether deposit limits and time-outs are easy to find, since they are licence conditions.
Check it yourself
