Captain Cooks Casino Canada Review - Microgaming Jackpots & Evolution Live

If you're thinking about playing Captain Cooks on your phone, here's what it's actually like on mobile, warts and all. I'm coming at this from a Canadian player-safety angle (and yes, Ontario can feel a bit different), based on using the site on a real phone instead of just skimming the promo copy. What I care about here is the stuff that affects your day-to-day play: how fast it loads, what the cashier feels like on a small screen, and what to do when something inevitably glitches.

If your play is pretty casual, Interac deposits, a few slots, then back to real life, this is the stuff you'll want to know before you bother signing up. And quick tax note while we're here: for most recreational players in Canada, wins are generally treated like tax-free windfalls, but that's not a "rule" you should gamble around. If in doubt, treat it like luck money, not a plan.

You might be wondering the same things most people do the first time they try a "classic" casino site on mobile: is it actually secure, does the cashier behave differently on a phone, and do you lose anything important like jackpots or live tables? I'll walk you through what I saw on a phone, loading, deposits, cashouts, and what to do when KYC or payments get stuck. You'll get the practical stuff (load times, withdrawals, fixes), plus the annoying parts people only notice after they deposit. And because this is still gambling, I'll keep pointing back to basic guardrails and our responsible gaming tools if you want extra support.

• This guide sticks to the real mobile experience: speeds, limits, device quirks, and the "how long does a cashout actually take?" reality for Canadians.
• Main risks I see on mobile: slow cashouts, higher withdrawal minimums, that reverse-withdrawal temptation during "pending", and fake apps.
• Main protections worth knowing: licensing details you can verify in the footer, eCOGRA testing, built-in limits, plus practical troubleshooting steps when things go sideways.

• If you care about speed, Interac or an e-wallet usually feels smoother on mobile than bank transfers.
• If you care about variety, it helps to know up front: the lobby is Microgaming-only. You won't see NetEnt or Pragmatic Play here.
• If you care about comfort, plan shorter sessions. The search feels slow, there's no dark mode, and scrolling around can get old fast.

30-Second Mobile Verdict for Canadian Players

OVERALL MOBILE RATING: 6.5/10 - secure enough for most Canadian play, but it feels dated, it's slow to navigate, and the withdrawal rules are stricter than people expect when they're only playing on a phone.

BEST FEATURE: You can still chase big Microgaming progressives like Mega Moolah on mobile, and seeing that huge jackpot number crammed onto a phone screen still gives a little adrenaline kick. Once the game finally loads, it usually stays steady, and yes, those "did you hear someone hit Mega Moolah?" stories still make the rounds here and genuinely make you feel like maybe, just maybe, it could be your turn.

BIGGEST ISSUE: No real app, clunky navigation, and a C$50 minimum withdrawal with weekly caps for bigger wins can make cashing out feel like work - the kind of slog where you're staring at the screen wondering why something as simple as getting your own money out has to be this fiddly, especially if mobile is your main (or only) device.

APP vs BROWSER: Browser wins by default because there isn't an official app. Use Safari or Chrome, then add a shortcut to your home screen so it feels more "app-ish".

RECOMMENDATION: Good enough for casual mobile play - but I wouldn't use it as my main casino. It's fine for quick sessions and jackpots; for big withdrawals or account changes, desktop is still the calmer option.

My simple split: I'd use mobile to actually play (a few spins, a quick deposit, checking my balance), but I'd switch to desktop for the "account admin" stuff, document uploads, reading long terms, and anything involving bigger cashouts. And yeah, don't treat this like income. Treat it like paid entertainment that can get expensive if you don't set a line.

App vs Browser on Captain Cooks: What Actually Works

Worth repeating once: there's no official app, this is browser-only. Everything happens in Safari, Chrome, or another modern mobile browser. So the real "app vs browser" question becomes: do you trust an unofficial app you found somewhere else? For me? Hard no, unless it's coming from an official app store listing (and here, there isn't one).

The mobile site carries almost the full game library, cashier, and support options. It's slower and clunkier than newer casino PWAs, but it's the only legit way to play on your phone. If any page asks you to sideload an APK or install an iOS profile, that's a red flag. Close it and don't install anything, especially if you're the type who only downloads apps the normal way through Canadian app stores.

• Safe choice: Use Safari or Chrome and add a shortcut. Don't install any "Captain Cooks" app or APK, even if it looks convincing.
• Check source: Type the address yourself or use a trusted reference like our mobile apps comparison page to navigate safely.
• Security rule: If anything asks for "unknown sources" permissions, stop immediately.

Mobile Test Protocol and Real-World Results

The performance notes below come from a structured hands-on check on an iPhone 13 using both 4G and home Wi-Fi. The point wasn't to "benchmark" like a lab, it was to mirror a normal Canadian session: log in, deposit, switch games, try a live table, and open chat support when you need it. I rated reliability and comfort, because on mobile that's what actually matters.

No app here, so everything ran through Safari and Chrome. On modern Android phones with similar hardware, you'll usually see roughly similar results. On older or low-end phones, live dealer streams are where things can get rough first, especially if you're bouncing between Wi-Fi and LTE.

• Best conditions: a newer phone, Wi-Fi or strong 4G, and not a dozen apps running in the background.
• Avoid: rapid-fire switching between lots of games; the older lobby reloads more than it should and burns data.
• If things lag: close background apps, hop on Wi-Fi, then restart the browser session. Simple, but it works more often than you'd think.

Game Compatibility on Mobile

Captain Cooks runs almost entirely on Microgaming and associated partner studios, with Evolution powering the live dealer section. Compatibility is usually decent because current Microgaming and Evolution titles use HTML5 and run in modern mobile browsers with no extra plugins.

In real use, you can expect roughly 90 - 95% of the desktop library to show up on your phone. The stuff that goes missing tends to be older, niche titles that never got a proper mobile rebuild, plus any very legacy content that relied on tech mobile browsers don't support anymore.

• Slots: The Microgaming catalogue (roughly 550 games) is largely playable on mobile. Big names like Mega Moolah, Immortal Romance, Thunderstruck II, and 9 Masks of Fire ran fine.
• Live casino: Evolution tables, blackjack, roulette, baccarat, Dream Catcher, are mobile-friendly, but they need a steady connection. I was testing a few mobile blackjack tables the same week I was reading about California cardrooms getting their blackjack-style games banned, and the contrast was pretty wild.
• RNG tables and video poker: Gold Series blackjack/roulette and video poker generally work well, but some screens feel cramped on smaller phones.

Because it's Microgaming-only, you won't find NetEnt, Pragmatic Play, or Play'n GO on desktop or mobile. That cuts variety, but it also makes the expectations simple: if it's a modern Microgaming title, it usually runs on your phone.

• Touch controls: Slot buttons are usually big enough, but older table layouts can have tiny hit zones for chips and bet spots.
• Performance by type: Slots are the steadiest, RNG tables/video poker are close behind, live games are the most sensitive to connection drops.
• Missing on mobile: a few obscure legacy titles and anything tied to old plugin-era tech.

If one specific game refuses to load on mobile but behaves on desktop, the usual fix is boring but effective: pick a newer game in the same category. If an old roulette title acts up, Euro Gold (or another newer version) often runs without the drama.

Mobile Payment Experience and Real Withdrawal Timelines

On mobile, the cashier is basically the same as desktop, just squished into a smaller layout. Deposits and withdrawals run through secure redirects to banks, card processors, or e-wallets. The design is clunky, but functionally you're seeing the same menu of options Canadian players generally get on desktop.

You can deposit with Interac e-Transfer, Visa/Mastercard, MuchBetter, ecoPayz (Payz), Paysafecard, and Apple Pay. Crypto shows up only for non-Ontario play through the Kahnawake-licensed version, usually through intermediaries. Withdrawals typically run through Interac, e-wallets, bank transfer, and sometimes cards, but Mastercard cashouts can be blocked by issuers, so don't plan around it.

Structural things to watch for, because these are the rules that catch people after the fun part:

• High minimum withdrawal: C$50 is steep compared to sites that let you cash out at C$10 - C$20.
• DBT minimum and fee: bank transfers often require at least C$300, and withdrawals under C$3,000 can be charged a C$50 fee.
• Weekly cap: if you win more than 5x your total deposits, you may face a C$4,000 per week payout limit, except for progressive jackpots paid in a lump sum.
• Pending period: outside Ontario, withdrawals can sit "pending" for around 48 hours, with a visible reverse-withdrawal button that tempts you to cancel and feels like it's just daring you to blow your cashout on one more session. Ontario players often see faster timelines, but the "pending" stage can still eat time depending on checks, and watching your money stuck in limbo for days gets old fast.

For Canadian recreational players, gambling wins are generally treated as tax-free windfalls, not employment or business income. It's a nice Canadian quirk, but it doesn't change the core reality: the house edge is always there, and if you keep playing long enough you're probably giving money back over time. Don't budget your bills around a slot win.

Practical steps on mobile:

• Use Interac or an e-wallet instead of bank transfer if you want fewer fees and fewer "why is this taking so long?" moments.
• Withdraw in larger chunks to reduce the impact of the C$50 bank-transfer fee and the weekly cap.
• After you request a withdrawal, log out and stay out of the cashier during the pending period. That reverse button is there for a reason, and it's not for your benefit.
• If a withdrawal sits longer than 5 business days, use chat support and ask for a written status update.

Technical Performance of the Mobile Site

Technically, Captain Cooks feels like a traditional desktop site adapted for mobile, not something built mobile-first. That shows up in load times, data usage, and how "smooth" longer sessions feel when you're on a phone.

On 4G with an iPhone 13, I saw the homepage in the 4 - 5 second range, the lobby took another few seconds, and most slots landed around 6 - 8 seconds, which feels surprisingly sluggish in 2026 when you're used to apps popping open almost instantly. Live games loaded a bit slower because streaming is streaming, and there were a couple of moments where I caught myself tapping the screen like that would somehow make it hurry up. Once a game was up, it stayed fairly stable, and I didn't see constant crashes, which is the bare minimum, but still worth saying.

• Page load times: expect about 4 - 6 seconds for the homepage and lobby on 4G, usually faster on Wi-Fi.
• Memory and battery: slots are moderate; live casino streams can drain roughly 10 - 20% per hour on older phones.
• Data consumption: around 100 - 200 MB per hour for slots; live casino can push past 500 MB per hour at higher quality.
• Offline capabilities: none. If your connection drops, you're done until you reconnect.

If your connection drops mid-spin on a slot, the outcome is still decided server-side by the RNG. When you reconnect, your balance should match the resolved spin. Live games are messier. Live tables don't pause for your connection, expect timeouts or default moves if you disconnect, and the exact behaviour can vary by the specific Evolution game and its disconnect rules.

• Supported browsers: current Safari, Chrome, and other Chromium-based browsers behave best.
• Minimum device level: a newer iPhone or a mid-range Android with at least 3 - 4 GB RAM is strongly recommended.
• Not ideal: very old devices or browsers that don't get security updates anymore.

Performance checklist for mobile players:

• Update your browser before you play.
• Use Wi-Fi for live dealer games; if you're on 4G, slots are the safer choice for data and stability.
• Close heavy background apps (social media, video streaming) before opening the casino.
• Clear cache if the lobby gets sluggish or games stop loading properly.

Mobile User Experience: Navigation, Design, and Comfort

I expected it to be clunky, but it still caught me off guard how "early-2000s" it feels on a modern phone. The mobile UX works, it's just... old. The browser version looks like it was adapted from the downloadable-software era instead of redesigned for small screens, so you get a functional setup that can feel awkward fast.

Navigation is basic: category lists and a simple text search. There's no provider filter, no volatility/feature filters, and no way to favourite games. If you're hunting a specific title, you'll either type it exactly or scroll longer than you want through a list that never seems to end.

• Navigation: text-heavy menus and small icons. It works, but it's not as intuitive as modern tile-based lobbies.
• Search and filters: mostly just text search. No theme/feature filters, and since it's all Microgaming, there's no provider browsing anyway.
• Account management: you can handle deposits, withdrawals, limits, and personal details on mobile, but some screens feel crowded.

Comfort is where the "retro" thing stops being charming. There's no dark mode, and some pages use high-contrast colours that feel harsh at night. A few older table games and form pages have smaller buttons, so if you've got bigger fingers (or a smaller phone), you'll mis-tap now and then. It happens.

• Orientation: many slots push you into landscape (normal), but the flipping between portrait menus and landscape gameplay feels clumsy.
• Accessibility: OS zoom helps, but some pages don't resize nicely. You may see overlapping text or need sideways scrolling.
• Pop-ups: loyalty/promo pop-ups show up often and can interrupt navigation, especially around the cashier.

Compared to mobile-first casinos with one-hand menus and strong filters, this feels dated. For short sessions, or if you have one goal like "open Mega Moolah and play," it's acceptable. For browsing and discovering something new, it gets annoying.

• Use search for known titles instead of browsing categories.
• If you play table games a lot, a larger phone or tablet is more comfortable.
• If pop-ups drive you nuts, closing the browser tab after each session can help reset the layout.

iOS Guide: Playing Safely on iPhone and iPad

On iOS, Captain Cooks runs through Safari (or another browser). No official App Store app. If you see something claiming to be the "real Captain Cooks app," assume it's fake, even if it has the logo and a bunch of reviews. That's one of the easiest ways people get burned.

To start, open Safari, type the address yourself, and log in or register. iOS 13+ handles HTML5 casino games fine, and iOS 15+ is a better baseline for stability and security patches.

• Add to Home Screen: in Safari, tap the share icon, scroll, then choose "Add to Home Screen". You'll get a shortcut icon that feels app-like, but it's still the browser.
• Apple Pay deposits: in the cashier, pick Apple Pay where it shows up, then confirm with Face ID or Touch ID.
• Login management: iCloud Keychain or a reputable password manager helps a lot. The casino doesn't do Face ID login, but your manager can fill passwords after Face ID unlock.

A couple of iOS-specific quirks are worth mentioning. Safari privacy settings can block third-party cookies, and sometimes that messes with sessions or payment redirects.

• If you get logged out a lot, check Settings -> Safari and temporarily relax cross-site tracking blocks during play.
• If a payment page refuses to load, try a private window or clear cookies just for the site.
• Use iOS Screen Time to set daily limits or downtime if you're worried you'll overdo it.

Best-practice iOS checklist:

• Update iOS before you play.
• Use a manual address or a trusted bookmark, not random email links.
• Keep Face ID/Touch ID on for your device and Apple Pay.
• Use Screen Time to track how long you're spending on gambling each day.

Android Guide: Safe Play on Phones and Tablets

Android is the same story: no official Google Play app, and no verified APK. It's browser-only in Chrome (or another modern browser). The extra Android problem is that "install from unknown sources" is a thing, which makes fake APKs a lot easier to spread.

I wouldn't touch it. If it's not official, it's not worth the risk. Don't download a Captain Cooks APK from anywhere. The legitimate operator doesn't distribute standalone Android apps for this casino, and turning on unknown sources just widens your exposure to malware and stolen credentials, with basically no upside here.

• Getting started: open Chrome, type the address manually, then log in.
• Add to Home Screen: Chrome menu (three dots) -> "Add to Home screen" for a quick-launch icon.
• Android version: Android 9+ is a good baseline; newer phones handle live streams and slot animations much better.

For payments, you'll see the same general methods as desktop. Some banks/wallets may support Google Pay, but many casino flows still redirect you to your bank's mobile site or app instead of a clean Google Pay overlay. Since there's no casino-side biometric login, your device lock and your banking app security matter a lot here.

• Battery and performance: Android battery optimization can kill your browser in the background. If you disconnect a lot, whitelist your main browser.
• Digital Wellbeing: use it to watch your time and set limits for gambling sites.
• Permissions: if any site or fake app asks for SMS, contacts, or full file access "for verification", cancel immediately.

Android safety checklist:

• Use Chrome or another reputable browser that actually gets updates.
• Never install any Captain Cooks APK or third-party "app".
• Keep OS and browser updated, and use fingerprint/face lock on your device.
• Use Digital Wellbeing to set clear time limits on gambling activity.

Mobile Security: Protecting Your Data and Balance

On mobile, the site uses the same SSL encryption as desktop. You're connecting over HTTPS with valid certificates, so the data between your device and the casino server is encrypted. The games are audited by eCOGRA, which covers RNG testing and payout reporting.

That said, encryption is only half the story. Your phone, your network, and your habits matter just as much. There's no built-in biometric login and no dedicated casino-side two-factor authentication, so securing your email, payment apps, and device lock isn't optional.

• Session management: the site logs out after inactivity, but still log out after each session, especially on shared devices.
• Public Wi-Fi: don't log in or make payments on open café/airport Wi-Fi.
• Rooted/jailbroken devices: these weaken security and may break terms; they can also create withdrawal disputes if the operator suspects abuse.
• VPNs: VPN use is often prohibited; hiding your region can trigger account issues and possible confiscation.

Security checklist for mobile play:

• Use a strong, unique password for your casino account and a different one for your email.
• Turn on 2FA for your email and payment accounts. It helps cover the missing casino-side 2FA.
• Keep your phone locked with a PIN, fingerprint, or Face ID.
• Install OS and browser updates as soon as they're available.
• Avoid saving card numbers inside the casino when Interac, e-wallets, or Apple Pay will do the job.
• Check your account activity and transaction history for unknown logins or withdrawals.

If you think your account got compromised, move fast: change your password, lock down your email, contact live support, and tell your bank or wallet provider. Time matters here, and waiting "to see what happens" usually makes it worse.

Responsible Gambling Tools on Mobile

Captain Cooks has built-in responsible gambling tools, and most are available on the mobile site. You can set deposit limits, use cool-off periods, self-exclude, and review account history. Some extras (like detailed session timers) can be easier on desktop, but you can still set the important limits from a phone.

From your mobile account area or cashier, you should be able to set daily/weekly/monthly deposit limits. Once they're saved, they apply across devices. Cool-off periods can block access for 24 hours up to several weeks, and longer self-exclusion options can lock your account for six months or more.

• Setting deposit limits: go to your account/responsible gaming section, pick day/week/month, then set a number you can truly afford to lose.
• Session reminders: if you see pop-up reminders (30 or 60 minutes), turn them on. They're annoying in a good way.
• Self-exclusion: if it stops being entertainment, use the mobile site and choose at least six months.

On mobile, OS-level tools matter a lot because the casino can't override them. iOS Screen Time and Android Digital Wellbeing can track time spent and enforce limits or downtime.

• On iOS, go to Settings -> Screen Time -> App Limits and add your browser to cap daily gambling time.
• On Android, open Digital Wellbeing -> Dashboard and set daily timers for your browser (or for "games").
• Disable promotional emails and SMS in your casino profile to reduce impulse triggers.

Real talk: the math's not on your side long-term. Set a budget and treat it like a movie night that can get expensive. Casino play isn't a way to earn consistent income, and it's definitely not an "investment".

If you feel your play is slipping, our responsible gaming page has warning signs, limit-setting ideas, and links to outside support.

• Pick a fixed loss budget per week or month, then set deposit limits to match it.
• Don't play when you're tired, stressed, or drinking. That's when bad decisions get easy.
• Use the responsible gaming resources on this site for extra guidance and third-party contacts.

Mobile Problems Guide: Fixing Common Issues Step by Step

Mobile gambling loves to break at the worst moment: deposits fail, games freeze mid-spin, or the cashier decides to be difficult. The steps below cover the most common issues on Captain Cooks mobile and how to deal with them without losing your mind.

• 1. Games will not load
  Symptoms: endless loading spinner, black screen, or error message.
  Likely causes: poor connection, outdated browser, or cache corruption.
  Fix: switch to Wi-Fi, update your browser, clear cache for the site, and restart the browser. Try a different browser (Chrome vs Safari).
  Contact support when: multiple games fail to load on a strong connection after these steps.
• 2. Live casino lag and disconnects
  Symptoms: choppy video, audio desync, re-joining tables frequently.
  Likely causes: unstable 4G or overloaded Wi-Fi.
  Fix: move closer to your router, switch to 5 GHz Wi-Fi if possible, close other streaming apps, and lower video quality if the option exists.
  Contact support when: you lose bets or rounds because of server-side issues rather than your connection.
• 3. Login problems on mobile
  Symptoms: repeated logouts, "session expired", or wrong password errors.
  Likely causes: strict browser privacy settings, mistyped credentials.
  Fix: allow cookies for the site, ensure Caps Lock is off, and use a password manager. If needed, reset your password via the "forgot password" link.
  Contact support when: password resets do not arrive or your account appears locked without explanation.
• 4. Deposit declined
  Symptoms: bank decline messages, 3-D Secure window not loading, or "transaction failed".
  Likely causes: bank restrictions, wrong details, or blocked by 3-D Secure on mobile.
  Fix: try Interac or an e-wallet, ensure your card is enabled for online and gambling transactions, and keep your banking app updated.
  Contact support when: funds leave your bank but do not appear in your casino balance.
• 5. Withdrawal stuck in pending
  Symptoms: "pending" status for more than 48 hours outside Ontario, or longer than 24 - 48 hours in Ontario.
  Likely causes: standard hold, KYC checks, or internal reviews.
  Fix: check your email for document requests, upload clear scans, and avoid reversing the withdrawal.
  Contact support when: no update after 5 business days or if documents are repeatedly rejected without clear reasons.
• 6. Push notifications not working
  Symptoms: browser or OS notifications from the site never appear.
  Likely causes: disabled browser notifications or OS-level blocking.
  Fix: enable notifications in browser settings if you genuinely want them, but consider leaving them off to reduce temptation.

If you're stuck, here's a message that usually gets you past the first-line script:

Copy-paste this into live chat or email:

"Hello, I am a Canadian mobile player. My username is . I requested a withdrawal of on via . The status has shown for business days. Please provide a detailed update on the cause of the delay and what documents, if any, are still required to finalise this withdrawal."

Keeping things written and specific matters. If you ever need to escalate a complaint to a regulator or a dispute body, clean receipts and clear chat transcripts make your life way easier.

Mobile vs Desktop at Captain Cooks: Final Verdict

On mobile, you get almost the full game library and most account features, but you're using them through an older web interface. Desktop still feels better for long sessions, reading detailed terms, and getting a clearer view of cashier info and loyalty details. For a lot of players, mobile ends up being a handy companion, not a full replacement.

Mobile wins on convenience. You can play slots, chase Microgaming jackpots, and even jump into live blackjack while you're out. Desktop wins on control and clarity, especially for big withdrawals, long terms, or long live sessions where a bigger screen (and steadier connection) makes everything less annoying.

• Where mobile wins: easy access, Apple Pay deposits, quick Interac top-ups, and short entertainment sessions.
• Where desktop wins: KYC document handling, watching weekly withdrawal caps, and reading rules without squinting.
• Best use cases: mobile for casual spins, desktop for serious sessions and bigger cashouts.

Player-type recommendations:

• Casual player: mobile is fine; set firm limits and keep it occasional.
• Serious slots player: use both; mobile for quick sessions, desktop when planning withdrawals or checking RTP info.
• Live casino fan: desktop is usually better for screen size and stability, though mobile works on good Wi-Fi.
• Jackpot hunter: mobile is okay, just keep the weekly withdrawal cap in mind for non-progressive wins.
• Sports bettor: this brand is casino-first; if you want sports markets, look at a dedicated sports betting option instead.

Whatever device you use, keep the core thing in mind: the house edge is always there. If you're chasing losses, stop, that's usually the moment it stops being fun. Treat Captain Cooks like entertainment only, keep your limits firm, and use the tools you've seen here if the fun starts to fade. It's never reliable income, and trying to treat it like an "investment" usually ends in the same way: losses.

FAQ

• Does Captain Cooks have a mobile app?

  

  Nope - browser-only. If you see an "app", assume it's fake. Use Safari/Chrome and save a home-screen shortcut if you want the app-like feel. And honestly, that's safer than sideloading anything, whether you're playing from Canada or somewhere else.

• Is the mobile site safe to use?

  

  Yes, the mobile site uses HTTPS encryption and the games are audited by eCOGRA. But your own setup matters too: use a secure device, avoid public Wi-Fi for payments, and don't share your password. Licensing can vary depending on whether you're in Ontario or outside Ontario, so check the footer on the version of the site you're actually using before you deposit.

• Can I deposit and withdraw from my phone?

  

  Yes. The mobile cashier supports Interac, cards, e-wallets, bank transfers, and Apple Pay deposits. You can request withdrawals to Interac, e-wallets, and bank accounts on mobile too. Expect about 3 - 5 business days in most of Canada and around 24 - 48 hours in Ontario, assuming KYC is done and you've met wagering requirements.

• Are all games available on mobile?

  

  Almost all. Roughly 90 - 95% of the desktop library works on mobile. Major Microgaming slots and Evolution live tables run on phones, but a handful of older/niche titles that never got a mobile update may be missing or desktop-only.

• Does the live casino work well on mobile?

  

  Yes, if your connection is stable. Evolution live games work on mobile, but they chew more data and battery than slots. For best results, use Wi-Fi, keep background apps to a minimum, and try not to hop in and out of the browser mid-hand.

• How much data does mobile gaming use at Captain Cooks?

  

  Slots usually use around 100 - 200 MB per hour, depending on graphics and how often you switch games. Live dealer can go past 500 MB per hour because it's continuous video. If you're on a limited data plan, stick to Wi-Fi or keep sessions short so you don't blow your monthly cap.

• Can I use the same account on mobile and desktop?

  

  Yes. It's the same account across devices, so your balance, bonuses, and limits carry over whether you log in from desktop, phone, or tablet. Don't create multiple accounts, that can lead to blocked withdrawals. Use one account and switch devices as needed.

• How do I add Captain Cooks to my home screen?

  

  On iOS, open the site in Safari, tap the share icon, then choose "Add to Home Screen". On Android in Chrome, open the menu (three dots) and pick "Add to Home screen". It creates a shortcut icon. It's not a real app, but it feels close enough for quick access.

• Does mobile play drain my battery quickly?

  

  Slots use a moderate amount of battery, similar to other casual games. Live casino streams are heavier and can drain 10 - 20% per hour on older phones. Lowering brightness and closing other apps helps. For long sessions, plug in, or switch to desktop so you don't end up at 2% halfway through a blackjack shoe.

• What should I do if the mobile site is slow or keeps crashing?

  

  Start with the basics: switch to Wi-Fi, update your browser, clear the site's cache, close background apps, and restart the browser. If it keeps happening across multiple games, take screenshots and contact support with your device model, browser, and connection type so they can escalate it. If you're planning a longer session, desktop is usually less finicky.
