This section covers 6 game providers entries. Studios and casinos are separate companies under different regulators, and mixing them up is the commonest error in this part of the subject. Covered here are the studios behind titles in Philippine-facing lobbies, including what each one actually holds a licence for and whether it releases a return-to-player figure that anyone can check.

6 pages, each devoted to one entry, with none that sum up a handful at once. A field above reading “not published” is explained on the entry’s own page, which names whoever would have had to publish it.

Each entry in a paragraph

Each one gives sufficient detail for deciding which page merits opening.

JILI explained

No founding year appears, and no headquarters is stated. Its lineup covers slots, fishing games, table and card games, bingo.

Heading the record on its page is PAGCOR (Electronic Gaming Licensing Department). The list of approved electronic games at PAGCOR EGLD has JILI titles on it.

It publishes no RTP. For its titles this site quotes no figure, and the numbers found elsewhere are third-party estimates that contradict one another.

PG Soft explained

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

Malta Gaming Authority comes first among the records listed there. MGA/B2B/435/2017 is a licence sitting with Pocket Games Software Limited (C 76195).

RTP is something it publishes, which means any figure given for its titles can be followed back to the studio. The visible RTP field is a blank dash, even though PG Soft publishes RTP in its game data and the figure is in the data the server sends with the page.

The FA CHAI Gaming entry

Founded 2019, and states no headquarters. Four product lines come from this developer: slots, 3D fishing games, arcade games, table games.

On its page, the first record is Curacao Gaming Authority. Licence number OGL/2024/1184/1010, in the name of WiseInNet Technologies B.V., the company running FA CHAI’s site.

RTP is something it publishes, which means any figure given for its titles can be followed back to the studio. The most straightforward studio to check out of the seven is FA CHAI, whose own public games listing shows RTP..

JDB Gaming explained

No founding year appears, and no headquarters is stated. Builds fish shooting games, slots.

Heading the record on its page is PAGCOR (Electronic Gaming Licensing Department). On the regulator’s web pages, PAGCOR has posted a game-content approval list.

It publishes no RTP. For its titles this site quotes no figure, and the numbers found elsewhere are third-party estimates that contradict one another.

CQ9 Gaming in full

No founding year appears, and no headquarters is stated. This studio’s catalogue: slots, fishing games, table games, arcade games.

Heading the record on its page is PAGCOR (Electronic Gaming Licensing Department). PAGCOR maintains a game-content approval list, and you can reach it online.

It publishes no RTP. For its titles this site quotes no figure, and the numbers found elsewhere are third-party estimates that contradict one another.

Pragmatic Play in full

Founded 2015, based in Gibraltar. Its catalogue is slots, live casino, bingo, crash games, virtual sports.

Malta Gaming Authority comes first among the records listed there. In the name of Pragmatic Solutions MT Limited sits licence MGA/B2B/619/2018.

RTP is something it publishes, which means any figure given for its titles can be followed back to the studio. Pragmatic’s own game pages give one RTP for each title, and it is the top of a set.

On-screen inside the game itself is where game providers details can be double-checked

Taking things on trust is not required for anything on this page. Each licence claim on these pages traces back to a public register that anybody can open:

  1. Search the company name and not the brand name when you open the MGA authorisation portal to check a Malta licence. Pragmatic Solutions MT Limited, rather than anything called Pragmatic Play, is the holder of Pragmatic Play’s Malta licence, and such a differently named subsidiary is a common pattern.
  2. UK licence lookups run through the Gambling Commission public register, using the account number. Each active licence lists its activities with start dates, and the same record carries any regulatory settlement made against the holder.
  3. Look for the studio’s approved-games PDF on pagcor.ph to check a PAGCOR EGLD listing. Approval of game content for licensed operators is what this record grants, so read it as exactly that. A studio licence exists only where the document states one.
  4. If an RTP figure is what you need, the studio’s own page for that specific title is the place to open. Absent from there, the figure cannot come from any comparison site; and where two such sites contradict each other, the contradiction is what you have found.

The thing most often got wrong here

Telling apart a PAGCOR operator licence and a PAGCOR EGLD listing is the key point in this area. When a studio appears in an EGLD listing, PAGCOR has approved its game content for the operators PAGCOR licenses. Nothing about it amounts to a licence held by the studio, and it tells you nothing about a casino carrying those games.

Only that is held by four of the seven studios listed below. Every page spells this out plainly, since “PAGCOR listed” and “PAGCOR licensed” sit one word apart yet mean very different things, and the second is usually what readers hope they have found.

Finding game providers at JILI1

  1. The game lobby at JILI1 opens after you sign in.
  2. Search a title by name, or pick a studio from the lobby filter.
  3. Stake range and paytable both sit on a game’s info screen, there to be read ahead of any play.
  4. Begin with a session budget and put a low stake on any studio that is new to you.

FAQ

Which studios in this list put out an RTP figure of their own?

PG Soft, FA CHAI Gaming, Pragmatic Play. For the remaining ones, this site quotes no RTP for their titles, and does not borrow a figure from a comparison site.

Does a studio licence protect a player?

Not directly. Licensing at studio level applies to whoever makes the games. Going to the operator's regulator is how a player seeks recourse, and that regulator's licence belongs to another company entirely.

Does JILI1 carry all of these studios?

Open Games in the JILI1 lobby: each game tile names its studio, so you can see which ones are live for you. Studio descriptions on these pages rest on each studio's own published record.

Do a PAGCOR licence and a PAGCOR EGLD listing mean the same thing?

Approval for operators licensed by PAGCOR to use a studio's game content is what an EGLD listing amounts to. An operator holds a PAGCOR licence, which gives it authority to run a casino. None of the four studios that have the first also has the second.

For a few studios on these pages the founding year or headquarters is absent; what is the reason?

Because they do not publish one. Neither is disclosed on the sites of JILI, JDB Gaming and CQ9 Gaming. Listicles run by affiliates repeat numbers for both with no primary source behind them, so this page repeats neither.

Can a GLI or BMM certification be taken as proof that a game is fair?

An independent test laboratory has put the random number generator and the paytable through a standard, and that is what the term tells you. The listing carries weight but differs from a licence, and neither says a word about the operator running the game.
