- SG777 JDB Gaming Games
- JDB Gaming is a studio that builds games, and runs no casino.
- SG777 JILI Games
- JILI belongs on the studio side of the industry, not the operator side.
- SG777 PG Soft Games

- SG777 Pragmatic Play Games

Of all the errors people make on this topic, the commonest is treating a game studio and a casino as one company, when they are separate firms with separate regulators. The studios behind titles in Philippine-facing lobbies get a page each, covering who runs them, the actual limits of their licensing, and whether a return-to-player figure is published for readers to check. There are 5 pages below.
Everything in this section
| Studio | Publishes RTP | Specialisms | Licence position |

| JDB Gaming | No | fish shooting games, slots | PAGCOR (Electronic Gaming Licensing Department) |
5 pages in all, with one entry per page instead of a digest of many. For fields above reading “not published”, look to the individual entry’s page: it says whose job publishing the figure would have been.
Each entry in a paragraph
Read this much on each and you will know which page to open.
JILI explained
A head office and a founding year are both missing from what it puts out. Among its releases are bingo, slots, table games, card games and fishing games.
Record one on its page is the entry for PAGCOR (Electronic Gaming Licensing Department). JILI has entries on the electronic games approval list that PAGCOR EGLD publishes.
It publishes no RTP. For its titles, this site quotes no figure, while what circulates elsewhere consists of third-party estimates that do not agree.
PG Soft explained
Founded 2015, based in Valletta, Malta. Builds slots.
On its page, the record that comes first is Malta Gaming Authority. Licence MGA/B2B/435/2017 is in the hands of Pocket Games Software Limited (C 76195).
Since RTP is something it publishes, the studio is the source of a figure quoted for one of its titles. The RTP is published by PG Soft in its game data, but it is not shown to the visitor: the displayed field is a dash and the number lives in what the server sends.
Pragmatic Play in full
Founded 2015, based in Gibraltar. Slots, live casino, bingo, crash games and virtual sports are its areas of work.
On its page, the record that comes first is Malta Gaming Authority. No other company is shown against MGA/B2B/619/2018, only Pragmatic Solutions MT Limited as licence holder Check the MGA’s own verification portal and you will find the B2B Critical Supply Licence, casino vertical, listed as Licensed; Pragmatic’s site was not the source..
Since RTP is something it publishes, the studio is the source of a figure quoted for one of its titles. The single RTP Pragmatic lists against each title is the highest member of a set, not a midpoint.
The FA CHAI Gaming entry
Founded 2019, and states no headquarters. Develops 3D fishing games, slots, table games and arcade games.
On its page, the record listed first is Curacao Gaming Authority. FA CHAI’s site belongs to WiseInNet Technologies B.V., whose licence is OGL/2024/1184/1010.
Since RTP is something it publishes, the studio is the source of a figure quoted for one of its titles. Checking is simplest with FA CHAI among the seven studios here, since RTP is shown on its own public games listing..
JDB Gaming explained
A head office and a founding year are both missing from what it puts out. Builds fish shooting games, slots.
Record one on its page is the entry for PAGCOR (Electronic Gaming Licensing Department). A register on PAGCOR’s own site lists the approved game content.
It publishes no RTP. For its titles, this site quotes no figure, while what circulates elsewhere consists of third-party estimates that do not agree.
The thing most often got wrong here
A PAGCOR operator licence is not a PAGCOR EGLD listing, and that is the distinction to grasp first. Operators licensed by PAGCOR may use a studio’s game content once it has an EGLD listing, which records PAGCOR’s approval. It should not be read as the studio’s licence, nor as saying anything about a casino that offers those games.
For four of the seven studios below, that is everything. Plain wording is used on each of their pages, given that “PAGCOR listed” and “PAGCOR licensed” sit one word apart but are worlds apart, with the second being what readers tend to want.
Game providers details sit within the game itself, so look there
Every point here can be checked rather than assumed. Public registers, open to all, are the source of every licence claim on these pages:
- When you want to confirm a Malta licence, enter the company name, not the brand name, in the MGA authorisation portal. The name on the licence is frequently a subsidiary’s, as with Pragmatic Play’s Malta licence, which Pragmatic Solutions MT Limited holds instead of any company named Pragmatic Play.
- A UK licence is checked on the Gambling Commission public register, by account number. Any regulatory settlement against the holder is on the same record that shows an active licence’s activities and the date each began.
- Find the approved-games PDF for the studio on pagcor.ph to see its PAGCOR EGLD listing. Check the scope of the approval, which is game content for licensed operators. No mention of a licence in the document means the studio has none on record.
- Open the studio’s own page on that specific title whenever you need an RTP figure. When the figure is absent, no comparison site can provide it, and two comparison sites that disagree have told you something in itself.
Finding game providers in the lobby you play at
- Log in to the casino account you hold and go to its game lobby.
- You can search by title name, or filter the lobby down to a single studio.
- Check the info screen of a game for its stake range and paytable before you start.
- Start with a session budget, then keep stakes low on any studio that is new to you.
FAQ
Which of these studios state an RTP figure publicly?
PG Soft, Pragmatic Play, FA CHAI Gaming. Everyone else does not, which is why this site states no RTP for their titles rather than copying one from a comparison site.
Does a studio licence protect a player?
Not directly. Studio licences cover the developer behind the games. Players seeking recourse go through the operator's regulator, whose licence is held by another company.
Will every lobby list all of these studios?
Go to the games section of the lobby you use: each game tile names its studio, so you can see which ones are live for you. What these pages say about a studio comes from the record that studio has published.
What would you need to know to tell a PAGCOR licence from a PAGCOR EGLD listing?
PAGCOR's EGLD listing covers a studio's game content and clears it for operators under PAGCOR licences. An operator is the party that holds a PAGCOR licence, and that licence is what authorises the running of a casino. Four studios in this set have the first; the second belongs to none of them.
Why are founding year and headquarters left out for certain studios?
Because they do not publish one. JILI and JDB Gaming do not disclose either of the two on their own sites. Affiliate listicles carry figures for both but cite no primary source, and none is repeated on this page.
Does holding a GLI or BMM certification prove a game plays fair?
It tells you an independent test laboratory has checked the paytable and random number generator against a recognised standard. Though meaningful, it differs from a licence, and neither of them speaks to the operator that offers the game.
