This section covers 5 game providers entries. Confusing a game studio with a casino is the most common mistake in this corner of the subject, since they are different companies with different regulators. Each studio whose titles turn up in Philippine-facing lobbies is covered here: who it is, its actual licensing, and whether it publishes a return-to-player figure that’s checkable.

There are 5 pages, one entry per page rather than a summary of several. The entry’s own page explains who would have published it whenever a field above reads “not published”.
Each entry in a paragraph
A short look at each, enough to find the one worth opening.
PG Soft explained
Founded 2015, based in Valletta, Malta. Builds slots.
First on its page is the record for Malta Gaming Authority. Pocket Games Software Limited, company number C 76195, is the holder of licence MGA/B2B/435/2017.
RTP publication by the studio means any quoted figure for its titles has a traceable origin. The RTP figure exists in PG Soft’s game data and travels with the page in server-sent data, yet the visible page itself shows nothing but a blank dash for that field.
Pragmatic Play in full
Founded 2015, based in Gibraltar. Slots, live casino, bingo, crash games, virtual sports — all part of its build.
First on its page is the record for Malta Gaming Authority. Held under the name Pragmatic Solutions MT Limited: licence MGA/B2B/619/2018.
RTP publication by the studio means any quoted figure for its titles has a traceable origin. Among a set of values, the figure Pragmatic publishes per title on its game pages ranks highest.
CQ9 Gaming in full
No founding year appears, and no headquarters is disclosed. What gets built: slots, fishing games, table games, arcade games.
On its page, PAGCOR (Electronic Gaming Licensing Department) takes the first record. You can find a list of approved game content on PAGCOR’s own site.
It publishes no RTP. For its titles, no figure is quoted here, and the ones found elsewhere are third-party estimates in disagreement with each other.
JDB Gaming explained
No founding year appears, and no headquarters is disclosed. Builds fish shooting games, slots.
On its page, PAGCOR (Electronic Gaming Licensing Department) takes the first record. PAGCOR maintains a game-content approval list on its own site.
It publishes no RTP. For its titles, no figure is quoted here, and the ones found elsewhere are third-party estimates in disagreement with each other.
JILI explained
No founding year appears, and no headquarters is disclosed. It develops slots, fishing games, table and card games, as well as bingo.
On its page, PAGCOR (Electronic Gaming Licensing Department) takes the first record. JILI is represented on the approved electronic games list kept by PAGCOR EGLD.
It publishes no RTP. For its titles, no figure is quoted here, and the ones found elsewhere are third-party estimates in disagreement with each other.
The thing most often got wrong here
It’s the difference between a PAGCOR operator licence and a PAGCOR EGLD listing that carries the most weight here. An EGLD listing confirms PAGCOR’s approval of a studio’s game content for use by the operators it licenses. A licence held by the studio is not what this is, and it says nothing about a casino carrying those games.
Just that is all four of the seven studios below offer. Each page spells it out plainly: “PAGCOR listed” and “PAGCOR licensed” are one word apart yet worlds apart, and the second is usually what a reader wants to have found.
The game itself holds the game provider details to check
Nothing stated here needs to be taken on trust. Each licence claim you see here comes from an open public register:
- The MGA authorisation portal is where you check a Malta licence, searching by company name rather than brand name. The named licensee is frequently a subsidiary with a different name, as with Pragmatic Play’s Malta licence, held by Pragmatic Solutions MT Limited rather than by anything called Pragmatic Play.
- Check a UK licence by searching the account number on the Gambling Commission public register. An active licence discloses its activities, when each began, and any regulatory settlement against the holder, all on one record.
- Locate the studio’s approved-games PDF on pagcor.ph for a PAGCOR EGLD listing. That approval is for game content used by licensed operators — read it that way. If the document is silent on the studio holding a licence, it does not hold one.
- Look at the studio’s own page for that specific title to get an RTP figure. No comparison site can produce a figure that isn’t there in the first place, and disagreement between two of them is the actual finding.

FAQ
Which of the studios listed publish an RTP figure?
PG Soft, Pragmatic Play. For the rest, this site states no RTP rather than borrowing a number from a comparison site.
Does a studio licence protect a player?
Not directly. A studio licence pertains to the company producing the games. Any recourse for a player runs through the operator's regulator, a licence held separately by a different company.
Does 30JILI carry all of these studios?
Open Games in the 30JILI lobby: each game tile names its studio, so you can see which ones are live for you. What's written about each studio here comes straight from its own published record.
What sets a PAGCOR licence apart from a PAGCOR EGLD listing?
A studio's game content gets approved for PAGCOR-licensed operators through an EGLD listing. A PAGCOR licence is issued to an operator, authorising it to run a casino. Four have the first among these studios, and the second appears in none.
How is it that some studios here have no founding year or headquarters?
Because they do not publish one. CQ9 Gaming, JDB Gaming and JILI leave both off their own sites. Affiliate listicles pass around figures for both without any primary source, so this page repeats neither of them.
Is fairness what a GLI or BMM certification really certifies?
An independent test laboratory examined both the random number generator and the paytable, measuring them against a standard. It's not the same as a licence, though it is meaningful, and neither says anything about the operator offering the game.
