Captain Cooks review
Our conclusions are that the Captain Cooks casino bonus is high but that you have to play the bonus 35x,. And this is high than with the other online casino bonus offers. The game offer is okay but really can be better. Especially in the online casino there is only a limited number of slots to play.
Captain Cooks is a reliable online casino but it is a pity that there is no live chat. The odds in sports betting are in line with the market. The website is for New Zealanders, but marketing wise is still little noticed.
You can read our complete Captain Cooks review below.

Registration begins with filling in Your Name and address details and completing your game limits. That looks like this:
Once completed, your identity and payment details must be verified. Scanning the necessary documents can only be done by phone. Very unfortunate because I want to upload my documents and not transfer them by scanning. After your data has been verified, you can start playing.
Your data is in safe hands with Captain Cooks because it falls under the New Zealand Personal Data Protection Act.
Game variety
The name Captain Cooks suggests that you can play bingo there. But this is not the case. The range of games at Captain Cooks consists of online casino games and (live) sports betting.
Casino offer
The online casino games are divided into a number of different categories. The main ones are slots, live casino and poker. The offer of slots is moderate. There are only about 150 slots to play. These almost all seem to come from Game provider Netent. We therefore rate the game offer of slots as very poor.
By the way, filtering on slots does not work well. If we select slots, we will still see other games.
Captain Cooks Casino Tournament
In november, Captain Cooks will host New Zealand's first online casino tournament. You can play this tournament for as little as $0.10. The tournament closes on november 30th. The grand prize is $2000 and there are a total of 50 prizes to be won. The main prize goes to the participant who makes the largest (percentage) profit over twenty consecutive rounds. It is played on Ten online slots from Microgaming.
Free casino
Most casino games are also free to play. Or as Captain Cooks calls it’for fun'. This way you can get acquainted with a game before you start playing it with real money. A plus in this Captain Cooks review.
Captain Cooks live casino
The live casino offer is reasonable. In the live casino you can, among other things. online blackjack , online roulette and Play poker. The casino games can be played in different variants such as Gold Bar Roulette and Super Stake Roulette .
By the way, You Play poker against a dealer and not at a table against other poker players. For table poker against other players at the table, please refer to Unibet poker .
There are a dozen live show games to play such as Crazy time, Monopoly Live and Dream Catcher. The live casino games are provided by Evolution Gaming.
You can also live bingo games in the new live show game Big Ball Monopoly .
Betting
Captain Cooks is originally a provider of betting . That is the strength of this Belgian online bookmaker. Nevertheless, the range of games is limited. This is partly due to the fact that Captain Cooks has developed his own gaming platform. Where other bookmakers buy these from specialists like Kambi.
The level of quotations is in line with the market. You can bet both in advance and live on about twenty sports including football, cycling and tennis. If we look at football, you can bet on 1X2, DNB, 1st goal, goals handicaps, number of goals, correct score and goalscorers.
The payback van Captain Cooks is the best of New Zealand.
The offer on which you can bet is slightly more limited than at other bookmakers. But on the most important gebNZDtenissen is to place a bet.
If you want to bet on Formula 1, you have to look under the heading motorsport. You can also place sports bets through the Captain Cooks app.
Pierre van Hooijdonk football prediction tips
At Captain Cooks, Pierre Van Hooijdonk gives you a weekly football prediction tip. The football analyst is ambassador of Captain Cooks .
Horse racing
Captain Cooks is very popular in Australia partly because of the horse racing that you can already bet on for a minimum of $0.50. In New Zealand, Captain Cooks has decided to abandon horse racing. Too bad, because it is precisely with the offer of betting on horses that Captain Cooks would be unique in New Zealand.
If you want to bet on horses, you can at Bet365 visit.
Design and appearance
The website is black with a touch of red and is clearly laid out. The homepage looks a bit like an English tabloid. The logo features a New Zealand flag. Nice logo, but the website feels much too Belgian. No effort has been made to entice the New Zealand visitor into what New Zealand players are interested in.
This is how you can see the prominent matches of the Belgian league. One of the pictures shows the New Kingdom player Noa Lang (Club Brugge). Apparently Captain Cooks is still looking for a New Zealand marketing manager who will prepare Captain Cooks to conquer New Zealand. Toto does this more conveniently by, for example, giving a separate section ‘Royal Vegasse heroes' a prominent place. Here are the matches of New Zealand athletes that you can bet on.
The lyrics are in New Zealand, but are clearly written by Belgians. The use of language and sentence structure does not feel New Zealand. But okay, we understand what it says. But really convenient it is not. Speak the language of your customers! So much for our marketing tips for Captain Cooks.
Deposit and withdraw money
You can deposit money from $5. Depositing and withdrawing money is easy via iDeal, Visa and Mastercard. Withdrawals via credit card or bank transfer can take 24 to 72 hours.
Customer
If you have any questions, you can find the most answers on the extensive FAQ page. You can also ask a question via a contact form. Captain Cooks ' email address is [email protected] . Captain Cooks cannot be reached by phone for players and there is no live chat. With this, this online casino does not score any points for us. You should be able to ask your question by phone or in a live chat. Especially because the website is totally new in New Zealand and online gambling is also new to most New Zealanders and there can be a lot of questions.
