PH365 Game Providers — Every Studio Covered Here
On game providers, this section spans 5 pages.
| Fact | Value |

| PH365 JILI Games | As a company, JILI builds games — it is not an operator. |
| PH365 PG Soft Games | PG Soft builds games as a studio; running a casino is not its business. |
| PH365 Pragmatic Play Games | Pragmatic Play builds games as a studio; running a casino is not its business. |
This section covers 5 game providers entries. Different regulators oversee a game studio and a casino because they’re different companies, and mixing the two up ranks as the most common error in this area. Covered on these pages are the studios behind titles found in Philippine-facing lobbies — their identity, the actual scope of their licensing, and whether a checkable return-to-player figure gets published.

5 pages in total, each one dedicated to a single entry rather than rolling several together. Should a field above show “not published”, the reason — and who would have been responsible for publishing it — is explained on the entry’s own page.
Each entry in a paragraph
Each gets just enough coverage to tell you whether its page is worth a click.
JILI explained
Neither a founding year nor a headquarters location appears in its published record. Bingo joins slots, fishing games and table and card games among what it builds.
PAGCOR (Electronic Gaming Licensing Department) tops the list of records on its page. You’ll spot JILI titles on PAGCOR EGLD’s approved list of electronic games.
It publishes no RTP. No figure is quoted here for its titles; what circulates on other sites are third-party estimates that don’t align with one another.
CQ9 Gaming in full
Neither a founding year nor a headquarters location appears in its published record. Slots, fishing games, table games and arcade games make up its lineup.
PAGCOR (Electronic Gaming Licensing Department) tops the list of records on its page. A list of approved game titles is hosted directly on PAGCOR’s own site.
It publishes no RTP. No figure is quoted here for its titles; what circulates on other sites are third-party estimates that don’t align with one another.
Pragmatic Play in full
Founded 2015, based in Gibraltar. Slots, live casino, bingo, crash games and virtual sports round out what it builds.
Malta Gaming Authority tops the list of records on its page. The licensee behind MGA/B2B/619/2018 is recorded as Pragmatic Solutions MT Limited.
Since RTP gets published, any figure cited for one of its titles can be traced back to the studio. A lone RTP shows up per title across Pragmatic’s game pages, marking the upper bound of a set of values.
PG Soft explained
Founded 2015, based in Valletta, Malta. Builds slots.
Malta Gaming Authority tops the list of records on its page. Company C 76195, Pocket Games Software Limited, holds licence MGA/B2B/435/2017.
Since RTP gets published, any figure cited for one of its titles can be traced back to the studio. A blank dash fills the RTP field on the page a visitor sees, even though PG Soft publishes that figure in its game data and ships it within the page’s accompanying data.
The Evolution entry
Founded 2006, based in Stockholm, Sweden. Builds live dealer casino, live game shows.
Malta Gaming Authority tops the list of records on its page. MGA/CRP/187/2010 stands registered under Evolution Gaming Malta Limited’s name.
Since RTP gets published, any figure cited for one of its titles can be traced back to the studio. Independent sources consistently back up the RTP numbers on Evolution’s game-show titles, which is why they’re logged as publishing RTP..
Details on game providers sit inside the game itself, ready to check
Trust isn’t required for anything found here. A public register backs every licence stated on these pages, and each register is openly accessible:
- To verify a Malta licence, look up the company name instead of the brand name on the MGA authorisation portal. More often than not, a subsidiary under a separate name is the true licensee: Pragmatic Solutions MT Limited, not any entity called Pragmatic Play, holds Pragmatic Play’s Malta licence.
- To verify a UK licence, look up the account number on the Gambling Commission’s public register. An active licence carries its activities and each one’s start date, and any regulatory settlement against the holder shows up on that same record.
- A PAGCOR EGLD listing shows up in the studio’s approved-games PDF over on pagcor.ph. Understand the approval this way: it covers game content meant for licensed operators. Absent a statement in the document that the studio holds a licence, assume it doesn’t.
- To locate an RTP figure, visit the studio’s own page dedicated to that title. No comparison site can conjure up a figure that isn’t published, and when two of them disagree, that very disagreement is the finding.
The thing most often got wrong here
A PAGCOR operator licence versus a PAGCOR EGLD listing — that’s the distinction carrying the most weight here. That a studio’s game content carries PAGCOR’s approval for use by its licensed operators is exactly what an EGLD listing means. No studio-held licence is involved, nor does it speak to any casino carrying those games.
Only that much applies to four of the seven studios listed below. Plainly, each of their pages states this, since “PAGCOR listed” and “PAGCOR licensed” differ by a single word but mean entirely different things — and it’s the latter that readers usually want to find.
Finding game providers at PH365
- Sign in at PH365 and open the game lobby.
- Search for a title’s name directly, or narrow the lobby by studio instead.
- Before you start playing, pull up the game’s info screen for its stake range and paytable.
- Before trying any new studio, fix a session budget and keep the stake low.
FAQ
Is there an RTP figure published by any of these studios?
Pragmatic Play, PG Soft, Evolution. The rest leave it unpublished, and this site quotes no RTP for their titles rather than lifting one from a comparison site.
Does a studio licence protect a player?
Not directly. The company that makes the games is who a studio licence covers. Should a player need recourse, it runs through the operator's regulator — a separate licence under a separate company.
Does PH365 carry all of these studios?
Open Games in the PH365 lobby: each game tile names its studio, so you can see which ones are live for you. Each studio's own published record is the basis these pages use to describe it.
Where's the line between holding a PAGCOR licence and carrying a PAGCOR EGLD listing?
PAGCOR grants EGLD status to signal it has approved a studio's game content for use by the operators it licenses. Running a casino is what a PAGCOR licence authorises, once an operator holds it. The first is shared by four studios here, while not a single one carries the second.
What accounts for some studios here lacking a founding year or headquarters listing?
Because they do not publish one. Neither figure shows up on the own sites of JILI or CQ9 Gaming. Neither figure appears here, since both merely circulate on affiliate listicles without any primary source behind them.
Can a game be called fair purely because it carries GLI or BMM certification?
A standard is what an independent test laboratory checked the random number generator and the paytable against — that's what it signifies. There's real meaning here, distinct from a licence, yet neither indicates anything about the operator offering the game.
