This section covers 5 game providers entries. Mistaking a game studio for a casino is the most common error in this corner of the subject, because the two are different companies with different regulators. These pages profile the studios behind titles that appear in Philippine-facing lobbies, setting out who they are, which activities they are actually licensed for, and whether a return-to-player figure that anyone can check is published.

5 pages, and each is devoted to a single entry instead of summing up several. Whenever a field higher up says “not published”, that entry’s page spells out who would have needed to publish it.

Each entry in a paragraph

Each gets just enough detail to show which page deserves your click.

JILI explained

It gives no founding year and names no headquarters. Creates slots, fishing games, table and card games, bingo.

On its page, PAGCOR (Electronic Gaming Licensing Department) is record number one. You can find JILI titles in the list of approved electronic games published by PAGCOR EGLD.

It publishes no RTP. Elsewhere the circulating figures are third-party estimates that conflict with one another, and this site quotes none for its titles.

PG Soft explained

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

Malta Gaming Authority comes first among the records on its page. Pocket Games Software Limited (C 76195) holds the licence, numbered MGA/B2B/435/2017.

Since it publishes RTP, you can trace any quoted number for its titles back to the studio. PG Soft includes RTP in its game data but never shows it on the visitor-facing page, where the visible field is a blank dash while the figure sits in the data the server sends with the page.

Pragmatic Play in full

Founded 2015, based in Gibraltar. It builds virtual sports, crash games, bingo, live casino and slots.

Malta Gaming Authority comes first among the records on its page. Licence MGA/B2B/619/2018 sits with Pragmatic Solutions MT Limited as its holder of record.

Since it publishes RTP, you can trace any quoted number for its titles back to the studio. On its own game pages Pragmatic publishes a single RTP per title, and that figure is the top of a set.

The FA CHAI Gaming entry

Founded 2019, and states no headquarters. Among the things it builds are slots, 3D fishing games, arcade games and table games, all in one catalogue.

On its page, Curacao Gaming Authority is the first record. Licence OGL/2024/1184/1010 belongs to WiseInNet Technologies B.V., the company behind FA CHAI’s site.

Since it publishes RTP, you can trace any quoted number for its titles back to the studio. Checking is most straightforward with FA CHAI among the seven studios here, since RTP appears right on its public games listing..

CQ9 Gaming in full

It gives no founding year and names no headquarters. Its builds cover slots, fishing games, table games, arcade games.

On its page, PAGCOR (Electronic Gaming Licensing Department) is record number one. Anyone after the game-content approval list can look it up at PAGCOR.

It publishes no RTP. Elsewhere the circulating figures are third-party estimates that conflict with one another, and this site quotes none for its titles.

The thing most often got wrong here

Keeping a PAGCOR operator licence distinct from a PAGCOR EGLD listing is the point that matters most here. PAGCOR has accepted the game content of a studio for the operators under its licence, and that acceptance is what an EGLD listing means. It is no licence in the studio’s hands, and no casino that carries those games is described by it.

Just four of the seven studios below get no further than that. Their pages state this in plain words, since “PAGCOR listed” and “PAGCOR licensed” are a single word apart yet worlds apart — and what a reader usually hopes to have found is the second.

Where to check game providers details: in the game itself

No part of this needs taking on trust. All licence claims on these pages are drawn from public registers, and the registers are open to inspect:

  1. Malta licences are checked on the MGA authorisation portal, searching the company name and not the brand name. A differently named subsidiary is often the licensee: Pragmatic Solutions MT Limited holds the Malta licence of Pragmatic Play, and nothing called Pragmatic Play does.
  2. The Gambling Commission public register, searched by account number, is where a UK licence is found. Each active licence shows its activities along with the date each began, and the same record carries any regulatory settlement against the holder.
  3. A PAGCOR EGLD listing is found in the studio’s approved-games PDF on pagcor.ph. Note the scope of the approval: game content for licensed operators. Where the document is silent on the studio holding a licence, the studio holds none.
  4. Go to the studio’s own page for the specific title when you need an RTP figure. Where the source lacks the figure, comparison sites have nothing to supply, and two that disagree make that disagreement the finding.

Finding game providers at PH22

  1. Once you have signed in at PH22, open the game lobby.
  2. Use the lobby’s studio filter, or look for a title through search.
  3. A game’s info screen, opened before you play, lets you read its stake range and paytable.
  4. Start by fixing a session budget, and give new studios a low stake.

FAQ

Which of the studios on this list release an RTP figure?

PG Soft, Pragmatic Play, FA CHAI Gaming. The remaining studios do not, so this site leaves RTP unquoted for their titles and does not take a number from a comparison site.

Does a studio licence protect a player?

Not directly. Under a studio licence, the covered party is the company that makes the games. It is through the operator's regulator that a player's recourse runs, and that is a different licence held by a different company.

Does PH22 carry all of these studios?

Open Games in the PH22 lobby: each game tile names its studio, so you can see which ones are live for you. Each studio on these pages is described only from the record it has published itself.

Which is which: a PAGCOR licence or a PAGCOR EGLD listing, and what separates them?

Operators that PAGCOR licenses may use a studio's game content once it is approved, and an EGLD listing is that approval. Authority to run a casino comes to an operator through a PAGCOR licence, which it holds. Among the studios here, the first belongs to four and the second to none.

Why do a few studios on these pages lack a founding year or headquarters?

Because they do not publish one. Neither is disclosed on the websites of JILI and CQ9 Gaming. Affiliate listicles carry numbers for each of the two, with no primary source behind any of them, and none is repeated here.

Can a GLI or BMM certification be taken to mean a game is fair?

Against a standard, an independent test laboratory has examined the paytable together with the random number generator. It means something and is separate from a licence, and neither one tells you about the operator that offers the game.
