JILILUCK Game Providers — Every Studio Covered Here

This section covers 5 game providers entries. Different regulators oversee a game studio and a casino, which are separate companies, and mixing them up is the commonest slip in this area. The studios whose titles appear in Philippine-facing lobbies are covered here, with who they are, what they are really licensed to do, and whether they publish a return-to-player figure that anyone can check.

Everything in this section

Covering one entry each rather than summarising several, there are 5 pages If a field further up says “not published”, the entry’s page spells out who was supposed to publish it.

Each entry in a paragraph

Each gets only enough detail to point you to the page that merits opening.

JDB Gaming explained

This studio gives neither a founding year nor a headquarters. Builds fish shooting games, slots.

Listed first among the records on its page is PAGCOR (Electronic Gaming Licensing Department). PAGCOR’s own site carries a list approving game content.

It publishes no RTP. No figure is quoted here for its titles, since the numbers circulating elsewhere are third-party estimates that contradict one another.

CQ9 Gaming in full

This studio gives neither a founding year nor a headquarters. Its output spans slots, fishing games, table games, arcade games.

Listed first among the records on its page is PAGCOR (Electronic Gaming Licensing Department). An approval list covering game content is kept by PAGCOR on its own site.

It publishes no RTP. No figure is quoted here for its titles, since the numbers circulating elsewhere are third-party estimates that contradict one another.

JILI explained

This studio gives neither a founding year nor a headquarters. It builds slots and fishing games, along with table and card games and bingo.

Listed first among the records on its page is PAGCOR (Electronic Gaming Licensing Department). On the list of electronic games approved by PAGCOR EGLD, you will see JILI titles.

It publishes no RTP. No figure is quoted here for its titles, since the numbers circulating elsewhere are third-party estimates that contradict one another.

PG Soft explained

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

On its page, Malta Gaming Authority is the first record. Under licence MGA/B2B/435/2017, the licensee is Pocket Games Software Limited (C 76195).

A figure quoted for one of its titles leads back to the studio, as it publishes RTP. On the page a visitor sees, RTP is rendered as a blank dash, though PG Soft does publish it in its game data and the figure rides along in what the server bundles with the page.

Pragmatic Play in full

Founded 2015, based in Gibraltar. Its output spans slots, live casino, bingo, crash games, virtual sports.

On its page, Malta Gaming Authority is the first record. The licensee on MGA/B2B/619/2018 is the company Pragmatic Solutions MT Limited.

A figure quoted for one of its titles leads back to the studio, as it publishes RTP. On Pragmatic’s own game pages every title shows just one RTP, and that is the top end of a set.

Verify game providers details inside the game itself

You need not take anything here on faith. Public registers, open to anyone, were the source of every licence claim on these pages:

1. To check a Malta licence, search the company name and not the brand name in the MGA authorisation portal. A subsidiary with a different name often holds the licence, for instance Pragmatic Solutions MT Limited holds Pragmatic Play’s Malta licence, and nothing there carries the name Pragmatic Play.
2. Searching the Gambling Commission public register with the account number settles a UK licence. On the same record you will see the activities of an active licence and the date each started, plus any regulatory settlement against the holder.
3. Finding the studio’s approved-games PDF on pagcor.ph is how you confirm a PAGCOR EGLD listing. Check what is being approved, namely game content for licensed operators. Should the document fail to state that the studio holds a licence, then it holds none.
4. For an RTP figure, go to the studio’s own page covering that specific title. Absent from there, the figure cannot come from a comparison site, and if two such sites give different numbers, that gap is itself what you have found.

The thing most often got wrong here

The key difference here lies between a PAGCOR operator licence and a PAGCOR EGLD listing. Listing under EGLD tells you that PAGCOR has approved a studio’s game content for the operators it licenses to use. The studio does not hold a licence through it, and it says nothing about any casino carrying those games.

Just that, and nothing more, is what four of the seven studios below have. Their pages spell this out plainly, as “PAGCOR listed” and “PAGCOR licensed” sit one word apart yet worlds apart, and readers are usually hoping they have found the second.

Finding game providers at JILILUCK

1. Sign in at JILILUCK and open the game lobby.
2. Pick a studio in the lobby filter, or type a title name into search.
3. A game’s info screen carries its stake range and paytable, so read both there before you play.
4. Plan your session budget at the start and keep stakes low with new studios.
