About Us

Last updated

Chip Lens is an independent review site about The Grand Ivy for players in United Kingdom. We are not The Grand Ivy, we are not the operator, and we do not speak for either. Our job is to explain how the casino works in plain words: what its offers require, how deposits and withdrawals are set up, which apps exist and what the safety picture looks like.

The site is written by an editorial team that publishes under pen names, and every page names the editor responsible for it. Nothing here is an advert written in the casino's voice, and nothing here is advice to gamble more. If a page reads as a plain description of a condition, a limit or a downside, that is deliberate.

What this site covers

The Grand Ivy brand background

The pages follow the questions players ask most often about The Grand Ivy: bonuses and the conditions attached to them, deposits and withdrawals, the mobile version and apps, licensing and safety, and the games on offer. Each page sticks to its topic so you can find an answer without reading the whole site, and pages that belong together point to one another.

There are limits to what we do. We cannot open, close or fix a casino account, process a payment, release a withdrawal or settle a dispute. Questions about your account go to The Grand Ivy's support team. If a complaint is not resolved there, it goes through the operator's complaints process, and from there to the dispute service that process names. We also cannot speak for the casino or promise how it will respond.

Independence and corrections

The Grand Ivy casino lobby

We write our own text. The casino does not edit our pages, approve them or decide what they say, and a page does not change its conclusions because a link on it may lead to an offer. Where a condition is a downside, the page says so, and where an offer is hard to use in practice, the page says that too.

Mistakes happen, and bonus terms and payment options can change. If you spot something that looks wrong or out of date, tell us through the contact page. Say which page and which detail you mean, and include where you saw the correct information if you can. A specific report is much easier to act on than a general one, and corrections are made on the page itself.

How we check facts

  • Facts on this site — bonus terms, payment methods and limits, account rules, licence details — come from public sources: the operator's terms and help pages where they are available, established UK casino review sites and the UK Gambling Commission public register.
  • We check every licence against the UK Gambling Commission public register, and we only cover operators licensed by the UK Gambling Commission.
  • Facts about The Grand Ivy were last checked on . We re-check them at least every 14 days and update pages when something changes.
  • We describe what is published. We do not play, deposit or test casinos with real money.
  • If a detail is not published, the tables on the site show "Not stated" and the text leaves it out. We never fill a gap with what is typical at other casinos.
  • Offers and terms can change without notice. Before you sign up, deposit or claim a bonus, read the current terms on the operator's site.
  • Ratings from other sites are shown as published on those sites, with the date we checked them. We do not combine them into one score.

How we make money

Chip Lens is free to read. Some buttons and links on the site lead to gambling operators, and we earn a commission from operators we work with when you visit them through these links and sign up or deposit. A button on a page about The Grand Ivy may lead to another licensed operator we work with.

Commissions do not change the facts we publish: bonus terms, limits and licence details come from the operator and the regulator. We are not a casino, we do not take bets and we cannot access your casino account.
