Licences the studio holds

The record for Pragmatic Play lists Malta Gaming Authority, UK Gambling Commission, and PAGCOR — the PAGCOR licence being historical and no longer current. Rather than being interchangeable, a studio licence covers the company that makes the games while an operator licence covers the casino that offers them, and recourse for players runs through the operator’s regulator, not the studio’s.

• Malta Gaming Authority — MGA/B2B/619/2018 is the licence registered to Pragmatic Solutions MT Limited. Licensed status for the B2B Critical Supply Licence in the casino vertical comes confirmed from the MGA’s own verification portal, rather than from Pragmatic’s site.
• UK Gambling Commission — The UKGC’s public register lists Pragmatic Play (Gibraltar) Limited, account number 56015, licence 056015-R-332216-005, with active status.
• PAGCOR — historical, and no longer current — Pragmatic Play went public with a PAGCOR offshore gaming licence in September 2016. Since then, the Philippines has done away with that entire framework, mandating that all offshore licences expire by 31 December 2024 — cancellations that PAGCOR confirmed. Quoted as though it were current, the 2016 announcement is in fact still sitting online from that year. It is not.

Whether Pragmatic Play publishes RTP

Since Pragmatic Play publishes return-to-player figures on its own pages, an RTP quoted for one of its games traces to the studio rather than to an aggregator.

Pragmatic’s own game pages show one RTP figure for each title, always the top of a set rather than the average. Three operator-selectable configurations turn up in independent records for most titles — 96.50, 95.51 and 94.50 per cent for Gates of Olympus 1000, 96.53, 95.52 and 94.51 per cent for Sweet Bonanza 1000 — and Pragmatic’s pages stay silent about the lower two existing. Because it represents the best configuration on offer, a quoted Pragmatic RTP doesn’t necessarily match what any one operator runs.

This matters more than it sounds. A return-to-player figure needs a real source to matter, since a number simply repeated between comparison sites, lacking a primary source, proves nothing.

Pragmatic Play in the Philippine market

2016 marked the start of a PAGCOR offshore licence, which lapsed when the regime was abolished at the end of 2024. The 2016 announcement isn’t repeated here; instead, Pragmatic’s current Philippine status is treated as unresolved, since Pragmatic states nothing on the matter.

Titles covered on this site

This site has its own page for 9 Pragmatic Play titles: Wolf Gold, Gates of Olympus, Starlight Princess, Wild West Gold, Big Bass Bonanza, Sweet Bonanza, The Dog House, Gates of Olympus 1000, Sweet Bonanza 1000.

These titles appear on Pragmatic Play’s own pages: Sweet Bonanza, Gates of Olympus, The Dog House, Wolf Gold, Sugar Rush. In short, that is the studio promoting its own catalogue. No mention is made of which titles any casino carries, or which are covered on this site.
