So which of these studios can actually show a published RTP figure?

PG Soft, Pragmatic Play, Evolution. The remaining ones don't, so this site leaves their RTP unquoted instead of pulling a figure from a comparison site.

Does a studio licence protect a player?

Not directly. Games are made by a company, and that company is exactly who a studio licence covers. If a player needs recourse, that path leads to the operator's regulator — a separate licence, held by a separate company.

Does JUAN365 carry all of these studios?

Open Games in the JUAN365 lobby: each game tile names its studio, so you can see which ones are live for you. Whatever appears about a studio on these pages traces back to material that studio put out itself, and nothing more.

A PAGCOR licence versus a PAGCOR EGLD listing — what sets them apart?

An EGLD listing works like PAGCOR's sign-off on a studio's game content, clearing it for use by whichever operators the regulator licenses. Running a casino requires a PAGCOR licence, which is what an operator holds and what authorises the activity. Tally these studios and four register the first trait, while the second trait registers with none of them.

For a handful of studios listed here, why is there no founding year or headquarters shown?

Because they do not publish one. Neither figure is disclosed by JILI or JDB Gaming on their own sites. Both numbers make the rounds on affiliate listicles unsupported by any primary source, so this page leaves them both out.

When a game holds GLI or BMM certification, has its fairness actually been established?

What's being said is that both the paytable and the random number generator underwent review by an independent test laboratory, measured against a set standard. Real weight, yes, but not equal to a licence — and neither tells you a thing about the operator behind the offer.

JUAN365 Game Providers | Overview & Main Choices

This section covers 5 game providers entries. A game studio is a separate company from a casino, each with its own regulator, and mixing the two up is the single most common error in this area. For every studio whose games surface in a Philippine-facing lobby, these pages lay out three things: who the studio is, the scope of what its licence genuinely permits, and whether a checkable return-to-player figure has been made public.

Everything in this section

Studio	Publishes RTP	Specialisms	Licence position
JILI	No	slots, fishing games	PAGCOR (Electronic Gaming Licensing Department)
PG Soft	Yes	slots	Malta Gaming Authority
Pragmatic Play	Yes	slots, live casino	Malta Gaming Authority
Evolution	Yes	live dealer casino, live game shows	Malta Gaming Authority
JDB Gaming	No	fish shooting games, slots	PAGCOR (Electronic Gaming Licensing Department)

This section splits its coverage into 5 pages, and each one is limited to exactly one entry, never a roundup of several. A “not published” field above always has its answer on the entry’s page — the name of whoever was meant to release that figure.

Each entry in a paragraph

Just enough on each one to tell which page is worth clicking into.

JILI explained

Neither a founding year nor a headquarters is made public. Slots, fishing games, bingo, and table and card games are all part of this studio’s build list.

Top of its page sits one record: PAGCOR (Electronic Gaming Licensing Department). There’s a JILI presence on PAGCOR EGLD’s roster of approved electronic gaming titles.

It publishes no RTP. No RTP number is quoted here for its titles, and elsewhere you’ll only find third-party estimates that don’t square with one another.

PG Soft explained

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

Malta Gaming Authority is the name that heads the list at the top of its page. Pocket Games Software Limited (C 76195) is on record as the holder of licence MGA/B2B/435/2017.

RTP is published, which means a quoted figure for one of its titles traces back to the studio. Although the RTP number lives in PG Soft’s game data and travels with the response the server returns for the page, the page itself, as seen by a visitor, displays only a blank dash there.

Pragmatic Play in full

Founded 2015, based in Gibraltar. Develops slots, live casino, bingo, crash games, virtual sports.

Malta Gaming Authority is the name that heads the list at the top of its page. If you check licence MGA/B2B/619/2018, the name attached to it is Pragmatic Solutions MT Limited.

RTP is published, which means a quoted figure for one of its titles traces back to the studio. Pragmatic’s game pages carry a lone RTP for each title, and that number is the peak of a set.

The Evolution entry

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

Malta Gaming Authority is the name that heads the list at the top of its page. MGA/CRP/187/2010 is recorded under Evolution Gaming Malta Limited’s name.

RTP is published, which means a quoted figure for one of its titles traces back to the studio. Evolution’s game-show titles are noted as RTP-publishing, given that outside, third-party sources report matching figures for them time after time..

JDB Gaming explained

Neither a founding year nor a headquarters is made public. Builds fish shooting games, slots.

Top of its page sits one record: PAGCOR (Electronic Gaming Licensing Department). PAGCOR’s own site hosts a published list of approved game content.

It publishes no RTP. No RTP number is quoted here for its titles, and elsewhere you’ll only find third-party estimates that don’t square with one another.

See the provider info listed right inside the game

None of this asks you to simply take it on trust. A public register is the source for every licence claim you find on these pages, and each of those registers stays open to check:

To check a Malta licence, go to the MGA authorisation portal and search by company name, not brand name. The company actually named on the licence is often a subsidiary with its own separate name — in Pragmatic Play’s case, the Malta licence sits with Pragmatic Solutions MT Limited, never an entity called Pragmatic Play.
To verify a UK licence, pull up the Gambling Commission’s public register and look up the account number. Everything about an active licence sits in one place — what it’s active for, since when, and whether its holder has picked up a regulatory settlement along the way.
A PAGCOR EGLD listing gets confirmed through the studio’s approved-games PDF, hosted on pagcor.ph. This approval concerns one thing only: game content supplied to licensed operators. No licence exists unless the document actually says the studio holds one.
To locate an RTP figure, visit that title’s page on the studio’s own site. No comparison site can produce a figure that isn’t there — and when two of them disagree, that disagreement itself is the finding.

The thing most often got wrong here

Don’t mix these up: a PAGCOR operator licence is a different thing from a PAGCOR EGLD listing, and that’s the main point here. An EGLD listing signals that PAGCOR has cleared a studio’s game content for use by the operators it licenses. No studio licence is at issue here, and it leaves unaddressed which casino, if any, offers those games.

Out of the seven studios below, four have only that. Swap “listed” for “licensed” after PAGCOR and you’ve changed one word but produced an entirely different claim — every page of theirs says so plainly, and it’s usually the licensed claim readers came looking for.
