Of these studios, which ones actually publish an RTP figure?

PG Soft, Evolution. As for the rest, this site leaves their RTP unquoted instead of pulling a figure from a comparison site to fill the gap.

Does a studio licence protect a player?

Not directly. The company that makes the games is what a studio licence covers. The operator's regulator is where recourse for a player ultimately leads, and that regulator operates under its own separate licence and company.

Does Jilibay carry all of these studios?

Open Games in the Jilibay lobby: each game tile names its studio, so you can see which ones are live for you. What each studio page says comes straight from that studio's published record.

A PAGCOR licence and a PAGCOR EGLD listing get talked about like synonyms — what actually keeps them apart?

PAGCOR's EGLD list clears a studio's game content for the operators PAGCOR itself licenses. Running a casino becomes possible once an operator holds the PAGCOR licence that grants that authority. Four studios on this list carry the first, and not one of them carries the second.

For a handful of studios listed here, no founding year or headquarters shows up — what's the story there?

Because they do not publish one. On their own sites, neither JDB Gaming nor CQ9 Gaming makes this disclosure. Affiliate listicles pass around figures for both with nothing primary behind them, and this page repeats none of it.

A game carrying GLI or BMM certification — does that certification actually establish fairness?

A standard-based review from an independent test laboratory covers both the random number generator and the paytable — that's what it signifies. Though it carries real significance and stands apart from being a licence, neither one reveals whether the operator actually offers the game.

People mix up game studios with casinos more than they get anything else wrong in this corner of the subject, yet the two are separate companies each with its own regulator. These pages run through the studios whose titles show up in Philippine-facing lobbies — who they are, what they’re actually licensed to do, and whether a checkable return-to-player figure gets published. There are 4 pages below.

Everything in this section

Studio	Publishes RTP	Specialisms	Licence position
JDB Gaming	No	fish shooting games, slots	PAGCOR (Electronic Gaming Licensing Department)
PG Soft	Yes	slots	Malta Gaming Authority

Rather than roll several entries into one summary, this runs to 4 pages, each built around just one entry. Should a field above say “not published”, that entry’s own page names who was supposed to publish it.

Each entry in a paragraph

Each gets just enough treatment for you to judge which page deserves the click.

JDB Gaming explained

No founding year gets published, and no headquarters gets stated. Builds fish shooting games, slots.

PAGCOR (Electronic Gaming Licensing Department) claims the top spot in the record listing on its page. PAGCOR keeps a game-content approval list on its own website.

It publishes no RTP. None gets quoted here for its titles, since what circulates elsewhere is just third-party estimates that don’t even agree with one another.

PG Soft explained

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

Look at the very top of its page’s record and Malta Gaming Authority is what you’ll find there. As company C 76195, Pocket Games Software Limited holds the MGA/B2B/435/2017 licence.

Because it puts RTP out there, any figure quoted for one of its titles can be traced back to the studio. PG Soft publishes RTP, but not on the page a visitor actually views — that page shows a blank dash, while the number rides along in the server’s accompanying data.

CQ9 Gaming in full

No founding year gets published, and no headquarters gets stated. This studio’s build list covers slots, fishing games, table games and arcade games.

PAGCOR (Electronic Gaming Licensing Department) claims the top spot in the record listing on its page. A game-content approval list is hosted on PAGCOR’s own site.

It publishes no RTP. None gets quoted here for its titles, since what circulates elsewhere is just third-party estimates that don’t even agree with one another.

The Evolution entry

Founded 2006, based in Stockholm, Sweden. Builds live dealer casino, live game shows.

Look at the very top of its page’s record and Malta Gaming Authority is what you’ll find there. The licence number MGA/CRP/187/2010 identifies Evolution Gaming Malta Limited as holder.

Because it puts RTP out there, any figure quoted for one of its titles can be traced back to the studio. RTP figures on Evolution’s game-show titles hold steady across third-party sources, the basis for their publishing-RTP record..

The thing most often got wrong here

A PAGCOR operator licence versus a PAGCOR EGLD listing: nothing else in this discussion matters as much as telling those two apart. PAGCOR approving a studio’s game content for use by the operators it licenses is exactly what an EGLD listing means. The studio being licensed isn’t what this is about, and it leaves unmentioned any casino that might carry those games.

Just that single item shows up for four of the seven studios listed below. Their own pages spell it out clearly: trade the word ‘listed’ for ‘licensed’ right after PAGCOR and you get a wholly different claim from something that reads nearly the same — and readers usually arrive hoping the stronger word is the one that applies.

The game itself is the place to check for provider details

None of this asks you to just take it on faith. A public register is the source for every licence claim these pages make, and each one of those registers is open to check:

To check a Malta licence, go to the MGA authorisation portal and look up the company name, not the brand name. It’s Pragmatic Solutions MT Limited that actually holds the Malta licence tied to Pragmatic Play, not any company using the Pragmatic Play name itself — illustrating how the true licensee is often a subsidiary with its own distinct branding.
To confirm a UK licence, use the Gambling Commission’s public register and search by account number. On one and the same record, an active licence discloses each activity together with when it started, alongside any regulatory settlement the holder has faced.
To check a PAGCOR EGLD listing, locate the studio’s approved-games PDF hosted on pagcor.ph. Licensed operators’ game content is the actual scope of what’s being approved. The studio doesn’t hold a licence unless the document actually says so.
An RTP figure won’t turn up anywhere except that title’s own page on the studio’s site. No comparison site can produce a figure that simply isn’t there, and when two of them disagree, that disagreement itself is the finding.
