According to their FAQ page about options, you can get contracts for options over the phone, not online.
Sucks pretty bad in my opinion. From looking around, I don't think IG have 'real' options available at all. Only CFD/Spread Betting deals over them.

Spread bets and CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. 69% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading spread bets and CFDs with this provider. You should consider whether you understand how spread bets and CFDs work, and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. Professional clients can lose more than they deposit. All trading involves risk.
The value of shares, ETFs and ETCs bought through a share dealing account, a stocks and shares ISA or a SIPP can fall as well as rise, which could mean getting back less than you originally put in. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Where are all the Options?

Well this sucks. As I've been learning more and more about trading, I was getting deep into Options concepts and theory. A lot of the language around IG and Options isn't super clear, especially for newcomers.
You can find on a single page in pretty small and thin font that 'btw you have to ring us for individual company options loser lol'.
Also, I'm really not a fan of the rise in marketing, from all brokers, around such highly leveraged products.
