PH22 Pragmatic Play Games — Studio, Licences & Titles

Titles from Pragmatic Play turn up in casino lobbies facing the Philippines, and this page sets out what the company itself states and leaves aside what operators say about it.

Who Pragmatic Play is

A catalogue size is not published. The studio puts out no title count.

Pragmatic Play in the Philippine market

Held a PAGCOR offshore licence from 2016, though the regime behind it was abolished as of the end of 2024. Because Pragmatic states nothing about its current Philippine status, this site treats that status as unresolved instead of repeating the 2016 announcement.

Whether Pragmatic Play publishes RTP

Pragmatic Play lists a return-to-player figure on each of its game pages, so the studio, not an aggregator, is where an RTP quoted for one of its titles leads.

On its own game pages Pragmatic publishes a single RTP per title, and that figure is the top of a set. Records from outside the studio show most titles ship in three operator-selectable configurations, with Gates of Olympus 1000 at 96.50 / 95.51 / 94.50 per cent and Sweet Bonanza 1000 at 96.53 / 95.52 / 94.51, yet Pragmatic’s pages do not disclose that the lower ones exist. That makes a quoted Pragmatic RTP the best configuration available, and not always the one a given operator runs.

This matters more than it sounds. A return-to-player figure carries only the weight of its source, and a number that moves between comparison sites without any primary source is evidence of nothing.

Titles covered on this site

This site has its own page for 3 Pragmatic Play titles: Gates of Olympus, Fruit Party, Wolf Gold.

Pragmatic Play itself features Sweet Bonanza, Gates of Olympus, The Dog House, Wolf Gold and Sugar Rush among the titles on its own pages. What you are reading is the studio promoting its own catalogue. Whether a casino carries any of them is left open, as is which ones have pages on this site.

Licences the studio holds

The records credit Pragmatic Play with Malta Gaming Authority, UK Gambling Commission, PAGCOR — historical, and no longer current. Because a studio licence is not an operator licence — it belongs to the company making the games, not the casino offering them — a player’s recourse runs through the operator’s regulator rather than the studio’s.

• Malta Gaming Authority — Licence MGA/B2B/619/2018 sits with Pragmatic Solutions MT Limited as its holder of record. Confirmed on the MGA’s own verification portal rather than on Pragmatic’s site: B2B Critical Supply Licence, casino vertical, status Licensed.
• UK Gambling Commission — The UKGC public register lists Pragmatic Play (Gibraltar) Limited under account 56015, licence 056015-R-332216-005, with active status, which confirms it.
• PAGCOR — historical, and no longer current — In September 2016, Pragmatic Play announced that it had a PAGCOR offshore gaming licence. All offshore licences were required to expire by 31 December 2024, and PAGCOR confirmed their cancellation; the Philippines has since abolished that entire framework. The 2016 announcement remains online, and people still quote it as if it were current. It is not.
