10JILI Game Providers: Studios, Licences & RTP

This section covers 5 game providers entries. The most common mistake here is treating a game studio and a casino as one company, when they are different businesses with different regulators. Each page profiles a studio whose titles appear in Philippine-facing lobbies, covering its identity, the scope of what it is genuinely licensed to do, and whether a return-to-player figure it publishes is open to anyone’s check.

Everything in this section

5 pages, each dealing with one entry and not a summary of several. For any field above reading “not published”, the entry’s own page spells out who would have been the one to publish it.

Each entry in a paragraph

Every item gets a line or two, enough to show which page repays opening.

JILI explained

Lists neither a founding year nor a headquarters. The catalogue takes in slots, fishing games, table and card games and bingo.

The first thing on record on its page is PAGCOR (Electronic Gaming Licensing Department). Releases from JILI are among the electronic games PAGCOR EGLD has approved and listed.

It publishes no RTP. None is quoted for its titles on this site, while the figures going around elsewhere are third-party estimates that contradict one another.

Pragmatic Play in full

Founded 2015, based in Gibraltar. Its range covers crash games, slots, bingo, virtual sports and live casino.

On its page, the first record listed is Malta Gaming Authority. Per the record, Pragmatic Solutions MT Limited is the party that was issued Licence MGA/B2B/619/2018.

RTP is published by the studio, which means a figure quoted for any of its titles can be traced back to it. Pragmatic prints one RTP per title on its own game pages, and that number is the top value of a set.

PG Soft explained

Founded 2015, based in Valletta, Malta. Builds slots.

On its page, the first record listed is Malta Gaming Authority. C 76195 is the company number given for Pocket Games Software Limited, which holds licence MGA/B2B/435/2017.

RTP is published by the studio, which means a figure quoted for any of its titles can be traced back to it. PG Soft keeps RTP in its game data yet leaves it off the visible page, where the field shows only a blank dash; the figure is in the data the server delivers with the page.

JDB Gaming explained

Lists neither a founding year nor a headquarters. Builds fish shooting games, slots.

The first thing on record on its page is PAGCOR (Electronic Gaming Licensing Department). PAGCOR’s own site publishes an approval list for game content.

It publishes no RTP. None is quoted for its titles on this site, while the figures going around elsewhere are third-party estimates that contradict one another.

CQ9 Gaming in full

Lists neither a founding year nor a headquarters. Its product lines are slots, fishing, table and arcade games.

The first thing on record on its page is PAGCOR (Electronic Gaming Licensing Department). PAGCOR publishes a game-content approval list on its own site.

It publishes no RTP. None is quoted for its titles on this site, while the figures going around elsewhere are third-party estimates that contradict one another.

The thing most often got wrong here

The key distinction here separates a PAGCOR operator licence from a PAGCOR EGLD listing. Through an EGLD listing, PAGCOR signals that a studio’s game content is approved for its licensed operators. It is no licence of the studio’s, and it makes no statement about casinos that carry those games.

Four of the studios among the seven below hold only that and nothing else. Every one of their pages says it plainly, since “PAGCOR listed” and “PAGCOR licensed” sit one word apart yet worlds apart, and the second is what readers usually hope they have found.

Look up the game provider’s details inside the game itself

Every claim here can be checked rather than believed. Each licence claim on these pages was drawn from a public register, and the registers themselves are open:

1. Company name, not brand name, is what to enter when searching the MGA authorisation portal for a Malta licence. Licences are often held by a subsidiary with a different name: Pragmatic Play’s Malta licence belongs to Pragmatic Solutions MT Limited, and nothing called Pragmatic Play holds it.
2. On the Gambling Commission public register, an account number search is the route to a UK licence. On the record of an active licence you will see its activities with the start date of each, and any regulatory settlement against the holder is listed there too.
3. For a PAGCOR EGLD listing, open pagcor.ph and track down the studio’s approved-games PDF. Note what it approves: game content, and only for licensed operators. When the document says nothing about a licence held by the studio, none is held.
4. Open the studio’s own page for the title concerned when you want an RTP figure. When the figure is missing from the source, a comparison site has nothing real to supply, and two comparison sites that disagree are themselves the finding.
