Grand Ivy has been in operation since 2016, initially launching as a casino. That remained the sole focus for about ten years, as a sportsbook was added to the site in early 2026.
Between these two dates, though, an app was launched on the iOS and Android app stores, with the earliest reviews being found around 2020. So, we believe it was launched around then.
Unfortunately, it is fair to say that the app has never been highly praised throughout the years, regardless of the app store. Indeed, across 64 reviews on both stores, an average score of 1.95 has been given.
People have complained about difficulties using the app, struggles with withdrawing funds and much more, which is certainly not the best.
However, we do have a caveat. Casinos are rarely reviewed positively, and with the addition of a sportsbook being recent, we can hope that the ratings will rise rather than fall further.
Grand Ivy does not use any bonus codes for their new customer offers, with both a sportsbook and casino sign-up bonuses available currently.

If you are looking to sign up on Grand Ivy through the app, you can follow our step-by-step guide on how to do so below:
Firstly, you will be asked to provide an email address and phone number to cover the communication bases. Then you need to create a username and password for your account.
Following this, your next step is to provide some personal details for your account. This is pretty standard, so enter your name, address and date of birth here.
Finally, you will be asked to set your deposit limits and confirm that you agree to Grand Ivy's T&Cs. A process that takes no longer than a couple of minutes.
We have tested the deposit and withdrawal processes on the Grand Ivy app, but since they are rather comprehensive subjects, we have dedicated pages for you to check out. On those, you can find all the details about the methods, the step-by-step process and other helpful tips.
When you open up the Grand Ivy app, you are met with the sports area, which was admittedly a bit of a surprise given the site's focus since launching. On the other hand, why not push the new section?
At the top of the screen, popular sports are shown, alongside an 'All Sports' icon, which displays a drop-down menu of nearly 30 sports available to be bet on. Not to mention the e-sports, specials and virtuals sections.
We found navigation to be pretty easy between the sections, which is always a positive, especially on a mobile app. It felt like the space was well utilised too, which it may not always do online.
In terms of actually placing a bet, the interface remained smooth and it felt better organised. Indeed, this meant that we could scroll markets a little more easily, with everything in one section, rather than being spread about.
Betting on racing was also pretty solid, we found, with the different fixtures laid out well. Being able to look back on the results of previous races was also a positive, it has to be said.
However, there were a few flaws. Firstly, a lack of streaming gives it a pretty big cross, as does the lack of a radio or something similar.
Overall, the experience was fine; it would be difficult to give it heaps more praise than that. We would be lying if we said that there aren't any better betting apps out there, but Grand Ivy does a decent enough job of presenting its new sportsbook.
The casino should be the main port of call on the app, really, considering it began as a casino as opposed to a sports bookie. However, this section felt a little slower from the get-go.
Indeed, navigating between the standard and live casinos felt a little awkward at times and this is never a good sign.
Additionally, the interface was immediately a bit of a letdown, with no really clear sections displayed, which is a bit of an annoyance. 'Slot games' is not exactly narrowing anything down, really.
With that said, the option to search for a game or provider is certainly handy and helps speed up the process. Even still, though, this section is pretty difficult to navigate.
There are more than 110 live casino games at least, for anyone considering downloading the app for these purposes. So, it's certainly not the worst option in the world. Again, though, we are left feeling a bit underwhelmed by the whole experience, which is never ideal...
Customer support at Grand Ivy is pretty flawed overall and the app, unfortunately, follows that trend.
The FAQ 'section' - using that term lightly - is just one question about resetting your password. Then, the 'Help Centre' takes you to a more versatile FAQ area, but it is outside the app.
Alternatively, you can then join a live chat or email Grand Ivy, with the latter taking you out of the app. With regard to the live chat, we waited for quite a few minutes before we were connected with someone, which is not ideal.

It's difficult to assess the Grand Ivy app because most of what you need is there, which is obviously good. On the other hand, it has all the makings to be a pretty decent 'all-in-one' option, but it falls short when you consider all aspects.
The sportsbook and casino areas are pretty solid, but there are enough frustrations that make both sections forgettable, for lack of a better way of putting it.
Is it an alright option? Yeah. Can you find better? Easily. Perhaps comparing it to others is unfair, but when you are thinking of using Grand Ivy instead of another option, you'd find it tough to pick this one consistently...
