About Grand Ivy Casino Even though this casino only arrived at the online gaming scene in 2016, it seems like its history goes way back. A little bit of digging reveals that while The Grand Ivy Casino runs on the White Hat Gaming platform, it is in fact owned by none other than Imperium Network Solutions Limited. Yup, the same operator responsible for reputable casino websites like Huge Slots Casino, Spin Station, Diamond 7 Casino, Miami Dice, 21 Prive Casino, Play Grand Casino, and more. This kind of background is enough to give you a boost of confidence knowing, that you’re not gambling your money away in some unknown, shady venue.
Licenses and Safety Other than its illustrious background, your safety is further guaranteed by its license from both the UK Gambling Commission and the Malta Gaming Authority or MGA. The Grand Ivy Casino also relies on a 128-bit SSL encryption technology to ensure that your personal and financial data is safe from hackers. All the games are also tested for fairness by a third-party agency, eCOGRA - a London-based independent regulatory body for the online gambling industry.
The Grand Ivy Casino also promotes responsible gaming as shown by its partnership with Gambling Therapy and the use of features like self-exclusion, reality checks, and time-outs. Furthermore, what’s refreshing about The Grand Ivy Casino is the fact that they don’t rely on just the technology to ensure their player’s safety and security. They go one step further and assign human employees to monitor the casino for fair play and security.
Games and Software Their gaming portfolio is clearly a nod to the classics. You won’t find any sports betting, keno, or bingo here, just pure, unadulterated casino games by over 90 premium game providers. There's an overwhelming array of slot variations like Mega Fortune, Starburst, Star Spinner, and Reel King Mega, as well as roulette, blackjack, baccarat, and poker. You can even play on a unique nine reel machine like Lucky 8 Line Slot. Besides the seamless operation and vibrant animations, the progressive jackpots on these slot machines are on a million-dollar scale!
Their live dealer suite is just as impressive with Evolution Gaming’s Blackjack Live, Monopoly Live, Super Sic Bo, and Three Card Poker as well as NetEnt’s Mega Fortune, European Roulette, and more. The amount of games can be overwhelming so it helps that you’re able to filter by title or game provider. The game section is really well-organized and easy on the eyes with tabs on the left for new games, popular games, slot games, live dealer, table games, blackjack, roulette, poker, scratch and fun, and providers.

Customer Support There’s no FAQ section but they do offer 24/7 customer support via live chat and email. We tried their live chat button and there wasn’t any queue, the agent that assisted us was also professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. Email support wasn’t too shabby either. We sent an email to support@grandivy.com and received a response in less than half an hour. If there’s something to gripe about, it’s that you can’t contact their support team by phone.
