A casino answers to one regulator and the game studio behind its titles to another, since they are different companies, and mixing them up is the most common mistake made in this corner of the subject. Behind each Philippine-facing lobby title stands a studio, and these pages record its identity, its real license scope, and whether it publishes a checkable return-to-player figure. There are 5 pages below.

Across these 5 pages, each one sticks to a single entry rather than bundling several together. A field reading “not published” above is unpacked on the entry’s own page, which names who the publisher would have been.
Each entry in a paragraph
Just enough per entry to tell which page you actually want.
Pragmatic Play in full
Founded 2015, based in Gibraltar. Its portfolio spans crash games, bingo, slots, live casino and virtual sports.
Malta Gaming Authority opens the list of records on its page. Pragmatic Solutions MT Limited holds licence MGA/B2B/619/2018.
This studio makes its RTP numbers public, which is exactly why any figure cited for one of its titles leads straight back to it. A single per-title RTP appears on Pragmatic’s own game pages, and it’s the highest in a set of figures.
JILI explained
No headquarters gets stated, and no founding year gets published. Its output covers slots, fishing games, table and card games, and bingo.
PAGCOR (Electronic Gaming Licensing Department) occupies the first spot on its page’s record list. The approved electronic games list from PAGCOR EGLD carries JILI titles.
It publishes no RTP. No figure appears here for its titles, while what circulates elsewhere is a set of third-party estimates that don’t agree with each other.
The FA CHAI Gaming entry
Founded 2019, and states no headquarters. Slots, 3D fishing games, arcade games, table games — all part of what it builds.
Curacao Gaming Authority sits at the top of the record on its page. FA CHAI’s site is run by WiseInNet Technologies B.V., which holds licence OGL/2024/1184/1010.
This studio makes its RTP numbers public, which is exactly why any figure cited for one of its titles leads straight back to it. RTP is displayed right on FA CHAI’s own public games listing, making it the most straightforward of the seven studios here to verify..
CQ9 Gaming in full
No headquarters gets stated, and no founding year gets published. Slots, fishing games, table games, and arcade games are what get built here.
PAGCOR (Electronic Gaming Licensing Department) occupies the first spot on its page’s record list. A game-content approval list is kept by PAGCOR on its own site.
It publishes no RTP. No figure appears here for its titles, while what circulates elsewhere is a set of third-party estimates that don’t agree with each other.
PG Soft explained
Founded 2015, based in Valletta, Malta. Builds slots.
Malta Gaming Authority opens the list of records on its page. Held by Pocket Games Software Limited (C 76195): licence MGA/B2B/435/2017.
This studio makes its RTP numbers public, which is exactly why any figure cited for one of its titles leads straight back to it. RTP is in PG Soft’s game data yet never drawn onto the page a visitor looks at — a blank dash occupies the visible field while the number rides along in the data the server sends.
The thing most often got wrong here
PAGCOR operator licence versus PAGCOR EGLD listing — that’s the one distinction that matters most in this context. PAGCOR clearing a studio’s game content for use by its licensed operators is exactly what an EGLD listing represents. This licence doesn’t belong to the studio, nor does it touch on any casino carrying those games.
That’s the sum total for four of the seven studios listed below. Every page from them makes the point outright: swap “listed” for “licensed” after PAGCOR and the wording barely moves while the claim moves an enormous distance — and it’s normally the stronger claim, licensed, that a reader hopes to land on.
Look inside the game itself to confirm provider details
Trust isn’t required for anything here. Public registers back every licence claim on these pages, and each one stays open to check:
- When checking a Malta licence, pull up the MGA authorisation portal and search under the company name, never the brand name. Malta’s licence for Pragmatic Play doesn’t sit with anything called Pragmatic Play — it belongs to Pragmatic Solutions MT Limited, a differently named subsidiary, as is often the case.
- To confirm a UK licence, run the account number through the Gambling Commission’s public register. The same record that lists an active licence’s activities and their start dates will also carry any regulatory settlement made against the holder.
- You can verify a PAGCOR EGLD listing by locating the studio’s approved-games PDF at pagcor.ph. Understand the approval for what it covers: game content aimed at licensed operators. When the document doesn’t state that the studio holds a licence, the studio doesn’t hold one.
- An RTP figure for that specific title lives only on the studio’s own page — open it there. No comparison site can produce a figure that isn’t published, and if two comparison sites end up at odds, that clash is itself the finding.

FAQ
Of these studios, how many actually publish an RTP figure?
Pragmatic Play, FA CHAI Gaming, PG Soft. For every other studio, nothing is published, so this site leaves their RTP unstated instead of importing a number from a comparison site.
Does a studio licence protect a player?
Not directly. The company that makes the games — that's who a studio licence covers. Where a player finds recourse is the operator's regulator — a licence that belongs to an entirely different company.
Does JL29 carry all of these studios?
Open Games in the JL29 lobby: each game tile names its studio, so you can see which ones are live for you. Only a studio's own published record informs how it's described on these pages.
A PAGCOR licence versus a PAGCOR EGLD listing — what's the difference?
PAGCOR-licensed operators may use a studio's game content once that content secures an EGLD listing, since that's what the listing approves. Authorisation to run a casino comes from a PAGCOR licence, and it's the operator that holds it. Four of these studios carry the first, while the second belongs to not one of them.
What causes a founding year or headquarters to be missing for some studios here?
Because they do not publish one. Neither JILI nor CQ9 Gaming discloses either on their own sites. Only affiliate listicles carry figures for both, none of them backed by a primary source, so this page leaves them out.
Is fairness guaranteed just because a game carries a GLI or BMM certification?
An independent test laboratory has checked both the random number generator and the paytable against a standard — that's what it means. It carries meaning, but it isn't a licence, and neither tells you anything about the operator offering the game.
