A game studio is one company, a casino is another, each with its own regulator, and confusing them is the most common mistake made in this corner of the subject. What’s covered here: the studios behind titles in Philippine-facing lobbies, who they are, what they’re really licensed for, and whether their return-to-player figure is checkable.

Rather than summarizing several entries, these 5 pages each cover just one. The entry’s page covers who would have had to publish it, wherever a field above reads “not published”.
Each entry in a paragraph
A glance at each is enough to know which page to pick.
Pragmatic Play in full
Founded 2015, based in Gibraltar. Building across slots, live casino, bingo, crash games and virtual sports.
Malta Gaming Authority sits at the top of its page’s records. MGA/B2B/619/2018 is the licence registered to Pragmatic Solutions MT Limited.
Any RTP figure quoted for one of its titles traces back to the studio, since it publishes that data. Pragmatic’s own game pages show one RTP figure for each title, always the top of a set rather than the average.
CQ9 Gaming in full
No headquarters is stated, and no founding year is given. Slots, fishing games, table games and arcade games are built here.
Its page opens with the record for PAGCOR (Electronic Gaming Licensing Department). PAGCOR’s own site lists game content approvals.
It publishes no RTP. No figures are given here for its titles, and the third-party estimates circulating elsewhere disagree with each other too.
The FA CHAI Gaming entry
Founded 2019, and states no headquarters. Develops slots, 3D fishing games, arcade games, table games.
On its page, Curacao Gaming Authority appears as the first record. Operating FA CHAI’s site is WiseInNet Technologies B.V., which holds the licence numbered OGL/2024/1184/1010.
Any RTP figure quoted for one of its titles traces back to the studio, since it publishes that data. Checking RTP is most straightforward with FA CHAI among these seven studios, since its own public games listing shows the figure directly..
JILI explained
No headquarters is stated, and no founding year is given. Bingo joins slots, fishing games, and table and card games in its build list.
Its page opens with the record for PAGCOR (Electronic Gaming Licensing Department). The approved electronic games list maintained by PAGCOR EGLD features JILI titles.
It publishes no RTP. No figures are given here for its titles, and the third-party estimates circulating elsewhere disagree with each other too.
PG Soft explained
Founded 2015, based in Valletta, Malta. Builds slots.
Malta Gaming Authority sits at the top of its page’s records. Under registration C 76195, Pocket Games Software Limited is licensed as MGA/B2B/435/2017.
Any RTP figure quoted for one of its titles traces back to the studio, since it publishes that data. Though the RTP figure is present in PG Soft’s game data and delivered in the data sent with the page, the page a visitor actually views renders only a blank dash.
The thing most often got wrong here
Nothing here matters more than telling a PAGCOR operator licence apart from a PAGCOR EGLD listing. An EGLD listing is PAGCOR’s way of approving a studio’s game content for use by the operators under its license. This does not represent a licence the studio holds, and it says nothing about any casino carrying its games.
Four studios out of the seven listed below have only that. Plainly stated on each page: “PAGCOR listed” and “PAGCOR licensed” are one word apart and worlds apart, and it’s the second that a reader is usually hoping to have found.
Locate game provider details inside the game itself
Everything here can be checked, not just trusted. Open public registers are behind every licence claim made on these pages:
- To confirm a Malta licence, open the MGA authorisation portal and enter the company name rather than the brand. Pragmatic Play’s Malta licence, for example, is held by Pragmatic Solutions MT Limited rather than by anything called Pragmatic Play — the licensee is often a differently named subsidiary like this.
- Look up the account number on the Gambling Commission public register to confirm a UK licence. Activities and their start dates show up on an active licence, and any regulatory settlement against the holder is on that record too.
- Check pagcor.ph for the studio’s approved-games PDF to find a PAGCOR EGLD listing. Licensed operators’ game content is what this approval covers — read it that way. If the document doesn’t say a licence is held by the studio, none is held.
- The right place for an RTP figure is the studio’s own page for that specific title. A comparison site cannot supply a figure that’s missing, and when two comparison sites contradict each other, that contradiction is the finding.

FAQ
Which of these studios put out an RTP figure?
Pragmatic Play, FA CHAI Gaming, PG Soft. This site leaves the RTP blank for the rest of their titles, instead of borrowing one from a comparison site.
Does a studio licence protect a player?
Not directly. The company producing the games holds the studio licence. Recourse runs through the operator's regulator for a player, and that regulator holds a different licence under a different company.
Does Jili9 carry all of these studios?
Open Games in the Jili9 lobby: each game tile names its studio, so you can see which ones are live for you. Each studio's page here reflects its own published record, and nothing else.
How does a PAGCOR EGLD listing differ from a PAGCOR licence?
The approval behind an EGLD listing covers a studio's game content, cleared for use by PAGCOR-licensed operators. An operator carries a PAGCOR licence, which authorises it to run a casino. The first shows up in four of these studios, the second in none of them.
What's the reason some studios here have no founding year or headquarters?
Because they do not publish one. CQ9 Gaming and JILI disclose neither on their own sites. None of the figures for both is repeated here, given that they only circulate on affiliate listicles with no primary source.
Does certification from GLI or BMM mean the game is fair?
The random number generator and the paytable were both put through examination by an independent test laboratory, against a set standard. It's genuinely meaningful, unlike a licence, and neither one indicates the operator offers the game.
