The Grand Ivy Sister Sites UK

Does The Grand Ivy have confirmed sister sites?

Yes, in the sense that mattersmost for player protection. The Grand Ivy shares a single UK Gambling Commission licence (number 52894) with a wide family of other casino brands, all operated by White Hat Gaming Limited, a company registered in Malta. That shared licence is the clearest, most checkable form of "sister site" confirmation available for this brand. What’s less settled is the finer detail: some of those brands appear to share direct common ownership with The Grand Ivy, while others simply sit on the same licence as white-label partners with different underlying owners. Independent sources draw this same owner-versus-licence distinction when mapping White Hat Gaming’s brand family, and it’s a useful lens for reading any "sister sites" list you come across for this casino.

In short: sister-site status is confirmed at the licence and operator level, but exact ownership tiers beneath White Hat Gaming Limited are not something we can independently verify from public filings alone. Anyone comparing The Grand Ivy to other brands should treat the licence number as the anchor fact and everything else as secondary until checked.

Who operates The Grand Ivy, and what does the licence actually cover?

The operator on record

Legal footer text published across White Hat Gaming’s brand network states that its casinos, including The Grand Ivy, are operated by White Hat Gaming Limited, a company registered under Maltese law with registration number C73232, registered office at 85 St John Street, Valletta, Malta. That same legal text confirms the two licences the operator holds.

The two licence numbers

These brands are operated by White Hat Gaming Limited, a company registered in accordance with Maltese law with registrations no. C73232 whose registered office is 85 St John Street, Valletta, VLT1165, Malta, which is licensed and regulated by: (i) The Gambling Commission of Great Britain under licence number 52894 for customers in Great Britain; (ii) The Malta Gaming Authority under licence number MGA/B2C/370/2017 (issued 01/08/2018) for all other customers.
That’s about as clean a licence confirmation as you’ll get for a white-label brand, and it matches what independent trackers of the network report.

The 2021 regulatory case worth knowing about

Before treating any UKGC-licensed brand as automatically low-risk, it’s worth knowing the operator’s compliance history.
The most significant regulatory event came in January 2021, when the UKGC announced a £1.3 million settlement following investigation into seven customer accounts across The Grand Ivy, 21 Casino, Hello Casino, and Dream Vegas.
That’s a genuinely useful data point: it names The Grand Ivy specifically as one of the brands involved, and it’s a reminder that a valid licence is not the same thing as a spotless enforcement history. It’s also, incidentally, one of the clearer pieces of evidence tying The Grand Ivy to the same operator group as 21 Casino, Hello Casino and Dream Vegas – the regulator’s own settlement covered accounts across all four brands under one investigation.

Nothing here should be read as a current safety verdict. Regulatory settlements relate to specific historical conduct, and readers should form their own view using our approach to rating and checking operators alongside the primary sources rather than relying on any single summary, including this one.

The White Hat Gaming network: mapping The Grand Ivy’s sisters

White Hat Gaming Limited’s UKGC licence 52894 covers a large number of consumer-facing brands. Not every brand under that umbrella is owned by the same immediate parent, however, and review sites differ on how tightly they group them. Two tables below separate what’s reasonably well corroborated from what’s presented more loosely.

Table: Brands most consistently linked to The Grand Ivy

Casimba Gaming brands that share both the owner and the White Hat licence include Casimba, Dream Vegas, The Grand Ivy, Spinland.

Other White Hat partner brands sit on the same licence 52894 but with different owners, including Karamba, Playzee, Barz and the rest.

One review site treats the first two groups as sisters, since the shared UKGC licence is what determines your protections, while flagging which is which.
That’s a sensible working rule for anyone building their own comparison, and it’s the same logic behind how we group brands across other UK casino networks.

Table: Wider brands reported under the same White Hat Gaming licence

Early UK brands included 21 Casino, The Grand Ivy, and Miami Dice, followed by Casimba and Casilando in 2017, with Dream Vegas, Playzee, Jonny Jackpot, SpinStation, Captain Spins, CasiGo and Griffon added between 2018 and 2020.

247Bet is one of the newest brands in the network, launching in August 2025 under the same UKGC licence.
This gives you a rough timeline of how the family grew, though the exact ownership chain behind each brand isn’t something we’ve independently verified beyond what these secondary sources report.

A note on brand confusion

It’s worth flagging a genuine mix-up that trips people up in search results: The Grand Ivy is not the same brand as "Ivy Casino", a separate, newer casino-only brand launched under a completely different operator and UKGC licence. If you’ve landed on sister-site content for "Ivy Casino" expecting White Hat Gaming’s brand, you’re looking at the wrong network entirely. Always check the licence number in the footer rather than relying on the name alone – it’s the single most reliable disambiguator when brand names overlap like this.

How to verify sister-site claims yourself

Third-party lists (including this one) are only as good as the primary sources behind them. Before treating any brand as a confirmed Grand Ivy sister, run through this short checklist:

1. Check the footer licence number. Scroll to the bottom of the site and look for a UKGC or MGA licence number. Compare it against 52894 or MGA/B2C/370/2017.
2. Search the licence number on the regulator’s own register. The UK Gambling Commission maintains a public register of licensed businesses where you can confirm which entity holds a given number and what it covers.
3. Look for the registered company name, not just the trading name. White Hat Gaming Limited is the legal operator; trading names like The Grand Ivy, Casimba or Dream Vegas sit on top of that.
4. Cross-reference more than one independent source. Where two or three unrelated review sites agree on ownership, confidence increases; where only one obscure source makes a claim, treat it cautiously.
5. Note the date of any source. Ownership structures, brand portfolios and even licence status can change, so a two-year-old article may no longer reflect the current picture.

This is the same due-diligence approach we set out in how we rate and verify casino claims, and it applies whether you’re checking The Grand Ivy or any other brand on our sister sites hub.

Bonus and account risk considerations across sister brands

One thing sister-site status does not automatically mean is shared bonus allowances. Even where two brands sit on the same licence and are run by the same operator, welcome offers, wagering requirements and loyalty schemes are typically brand-specific unless a promotion explicitly states otherwise.
One review site describes the welcome bonus as 100% up to £300 and 25 free spins with a minimum deposit of £20, for new players aged 18 or over, with a maximum bonus bet of £5.
Numbers like this vary between sources and change over time, so treat any specific figure as illustrative rather than current until you check the operator’s own terms page.

Multi-accounting risk is real, not theoretical

Because The Grand Ivy and its licence-mates are run by the same operator, opening accounts at more than one sister brand using the same identity details can trigger duplicate-account checks. This isn’t a workaround opportunity – operators running shared platforms typically cross-reference customer data precisely because the brands share back-end infrastructure. If you’re curious about how shared platforms usually structure these checks industry-wide, our general guides section covers the concept without making brand-specific promises.

Payment and withdrawal notes worth treating cautiously

Independent reviews describe a broadly similar cashier experience across White Hat Gaming brands, since they share underlying payment infrastructure.
Payment options at most Grand Ivy sister site casinos reportedly include debit cards like Visa and Mastercard as well as PayPal, Trustly, Skrill, Neteller, paysafecard, Neosurf and Apple Pay, with some offering additional instant banking or Pay ‘n Play options.
Separately, one source notes
cash-out ranges reported between roughly £20 and £5,000 per transaction, with requests via PayPal, Skrill or Neteller sometimes processed within 24 hours, though KYC checks may occasionally cause delays.

We haven’t independently tested these cashier flows ourselves, and processing times in particular are exactly the kind of detail that shifts with operator policy, payment provider and individual account verification status. Treat any specific time frame as a general pattern from third-party reviewers rather than a promise, and always confirm current limits directly with the operator’s own terms before depositing.

How The Grand Ivy’s network compares with other UK casino families

White Hat Gaming’s structure – one operator, one shared UKGC licence, dozens of themed consumer brands – is a common model in the UK market, but it isn’t the only one. It’s useful to see how it sits alongside other groupings:

• Entain-style groups tend to run several long-established, high-profile consumer brands under one large PLC structure – see our overview of the Entain brand network for comparison.
• Kindred’s Unibet and 32Red family follows a similar shared-licence logic but with a smaller, more curated brand list – covered in our Kindred network guide.
• Evoke’s 888 and William Hill portfolio resulted from major corporate acquisitions rather than organic white-label growth, which changes how sister-brand history should be read – see our evoke network overview.

White Hat Gaming’s approach – launching many niche-themed brands (a hotel theme for The Grand Ivy, a safari theme for Casimba, a car theme for Spin Rider) on one shared licence – is closer to the SkillOnNet white-label model than to the large-PLC acquisition model. Knowing which type of network you’re dealing with helps set expectations: white-label families tend to have more brands but a flatter, more uniform player experience across them, since
the casinos use the same platform, so the design and layout of each is very similar, although each uses its own branding, logos and colour scheme.

What The Grand Ivy’s branding and history tell us

Launch and positioning

The Grand Ivy Casino is an online betting site that was established in 2016.
Its hotel-and-glamour branding is one of several visual identities White Hat Gaming has used across its portfolio, alongside safari themes, motorsport themes and more understated designs on other licence-mates.
One reviewer notes that Casimba is themed around animals while The Grand Ivy carries a hotel theme, both from the same White Hat Gaming stable.
None of this branding variation changes the underlying licence or operator – it’s simply how one operator differentiates multiple consumer-facing shopfronts.

Game library and providers

Reported game counts vary by source and by date, which is normal for a catalogue that’s updated regularly, but multiple independent reviewers describe a sizeable slots-led library running into the thousands of titles, supplemented by live dealer tables. We’d treat exact current totals as something to check on the live site rather than in any review, since libraries expand and contract as supplier deals change.

What still needs manual verification

Being upfront about the limits of desk research matters here. The following points are not independently confirmed from primary regulatory filings and should be checked directly if they matter to your decision:

• The precise current list of brands sharing The Grand Ivy’s exact ownership tier, as opposed to simply sharing the White Hat Gaming licence.
• Current cashier limits, processing times and accepted payment methods, which change over time.
• Current welcome bonus terms, wagering requirements and eligibility rules.
• Whether any additional regulatory actions have occurred since the 2021 settlement.

For all of these, the operator’s own terms and conditions page and the UK Gambling Commission’s public register remain the primary sources of truth, not any third-party summary, including this one.

Practical takeaways before you sign up anywhere in this network

The Grand Ivy sits inside a genuinely large, licensed white-label family, and the licence-sharing relationship with brands like Casimba, Dream Vegas, 21 Casino and Hello Casino is about as well corroborated as sister-site claims get for this type of operator – reinforced by the fact that regulators themselves grouped several of these brands together in a single 2021 enforcement case. What’s less certain is the exact ownership structure sitting beneath White Hat Gaming Limited for each individual brand, and virtually all of the day-to-day detail – bonus terms, payment limits, processing speed – that actually affects your experience as a player. Before depositing anywhere in this family, read the live terms on the specific brand you’re using, confirm the licence number against the regulator’s register, and don’t assume a promotion, limit or account rule at one sister site automatically applies at another.
