Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
Captain Cooks Casino is committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gambling should be viewed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We encourage all players to gamble within their means and to understand that the house always has a mathematical advantage.
Age Verification
Captain Cooks Casino is only available to individuals who are at least 18 years of age or the legal age of majority in their jurisdiction in Canada. Players must verify their age during registration. We take age restrictions seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.
