This section covers 5 game providers entries. Casinos and the studios that make games are different companies answering to different regulators, and treating them as one is the most frequent error on this topic. Studios whose titles appear in Philippine-facing lobbies are covered on these pages, including who they are, what their licences actually permit, and whether they publish a return-to-player figure that anyone can check.

5 pages, each covering one entry on its own instead of summing up several. When a field higher up says “not published”, you can open that entry’s own page to see who would have needed to release it.

Each entry in a paragraph

Every entry carries sufficient detail to let you judge which page merits a click.

JILI explained

No founding year is given by the company, and it names no headquarters. Its range spans slot games, fishing games, table and card games, and also bingo.

At the top of its page, the first record shown is PAGCOR (Electronic Gaming Licensing Department). PAGCOR EGLD lists JILI titles as approved electronic games.

It publishes no RTP. No figure for its titles is quoted on this site, and the numbers going around elsewhere are third-party estimates that contradict one another.

PG Soft explained

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

Malta Gaming Authority is the first record shown on its page. Registered to Pocket Games Software Limited (C 76195) is licence MGA/B2B/435/2017.

A figure given for one of its titles can be traced to the studio, since it publishes RTP. PG Soft publishes RTP within its game data without rendering it for visitors: they get a blank dash, while the figure travels in the data the server sends with the page.

The FA CHAI Gaming entry

Founded 2019, and states no headquarters. What it builds ranges from slots and 3D fishing games to arcade games and table games.

Listed first on its page is Curacao Gaming Authority. OGL/2024/1184/1010 is the licence, held by WiseInNet Technologies B.V.

A figure given for one of its titles can be traced to the studio, since it publishes RTP. Out of seven studios here, FA CHAI is the most checkable, given that RTP is shown right on its own public games listing..

Pragmatic Play in full

Founded 2015, based in Gibraltar. Its range runs across slots, live casino, bingo, crash games and virtual sports.

Malta Gaming Authority is the first record shown on its page. Who holds MGA/B2B/619/2018 is Pragmatic Solutions MT Limited.

A figure given for one of its titles can be traced to the studio, since it publishes RTP. On its game pages, Pragmatic gives a single RTP for each title, and the top of a set is that figure.

CQ9 Gaming in full

No founding year is given by the company, and it names no headquarters. Produces slots, fishing games, table games and arcade games.

At the top of its page, the first record shown is PAGCOR (Electronic Gaming Licensing Department). Check PAGCOR online and you will come across a game-content approval list.

It publishes no RTP. No figure for its titles is quoted on this site, and the numbers going around elsewhere are third-party estimates that contradict one another.

The thing most often got wrong here

Here, the key difference to grasp is that a PAGCOR operator licence and a PAGCOR EGLD listing are two separate things. PAGCOR has approved a studio’s game content for the operators it licenses whenever that studio has an EGLD listing. As a licence it does not belong to the studio, and no casino carrying those games is covered by it.

Only that one applies to four of the seven studios listed below. Their pages state it in plain words, since “PAGCOR listed” and “PAGCOR licensed” differ by a single word yet mean very different things, and the second is what readers usually hope they have found.

See game provider details inside the game itself

None of what is written here asks for your trust. Public registers, open to anyone, are the source of every licence claim made across these pages:

  1. Look up the company name, never the brand name, on the MGA authorisation portal whenever you need to check a Malta licence. Look closely at who the licensee is, as it is frequently a subsidiary with a different name; Pragmatic Solutions MT Limited, not any company called Pragmatic Play, holds the Malta licence of Pragmatic Play.
  2. UK licences are looked up by account number in the Gambling Commission public register. A live licence lists its activities along with the start date of each, and a regulatory settlement against the holder is recorded on that same entry.
  3. To check a PAGCOR EGLD listing, locate the studio’s PDF of approved games on pagcor.ph. Check what the listing actually approves, which is game content for licensed operators. Should the document fail to state that the studio holds a licence, assume it holds none.
  4. If you want an RTP figure, go to the studio’s own page for the exact title. No comparison site can fill in a figure that is missing from the source, and when two comparison sites contradict each other, that contradiction is the finding.

Finding game providers at 888JILI

  1. Open the game lobby after you sign in to your 888JILI account.
  2. Pick a studio in the lobby filter, or look up a title by its name.
  3. Before you play, bring up the info screen of a game to see its stake range and paytable.
  4. Begin by setting a budget for the session, and play unfamiliar studios at a small stake.

FAQ

Which of these game makers disclose an RTP percentage?

PG Soft, FA CHAI Gaming, Pragmatic Play. Other studios publish none, so this site gives no RTP for their titles and does not take a number from a comparison site instead.

Does a studio licence protect a player?

Not directly. What a studio licence covers is the firm that makes the games. The regulator that handles a player's recourse is the operator's, and its licence is a separate one held by a separate company.

Does 888JILI carry all of these studios?

Open Games in the 888JILI lobby: each game tile names its studio, so you can see which ones are live for you. Every studio on these pages is described only from what that studio has itself put on record.

Where does a PAGCOR licence end and a PAGCOR EGLD listing begin?

Being listed under EGLD means PAGCOR has cleared a studio's game content for operators holding a PAGCOR licence. An operator holds a PAGCOR licence, and it gives that operator permission to run a casino. The first applies to four of the studios here, and none of those four has the second.

Why are a founding year or headquarters missing for some studios here?

Because they do not publish one. Neither of the two is something JILI or CQ9 Gaming discloses anywhere on websites they run. Affiliate listicles pass around figures for both with no primary source behind them, so none of those figures appears here.

If a game holds a GLI or BMM certification, does that make it fair?

An independent test laboratory has checked the random number generator and the paytable against a set standard, and that is what it means. It carries weight, but it is a different thing from a licence, and neither one tells you anything about whether the operator offers the game.
