PH365 Pragmatic Play: Licences, RTP Policy & Catalogue

The subject of this page is Pragmatic Play as a studio, and not any operator that carries it. Material from the company plus public regulator records is behind all of this.

Who Pragmatic Play is

A catalogue size is not published. A count of its titles is something the studio does not state.

Whether Pragmatic Play publishes RTP

Pragmatic Play’s own game pages carry a return-to-player figure, so any RTP quoted for its titles can be tied to the studio rather than to an aggregator.

Where Pragmatic states an RTP, it states just one per title, drawn from the top of a group of values. Operators can pick from three setups on most titles, according to independent records: Gates of Olympus 1000 comes at 96.50 / 95.51 / 94.50 per cent and Sweet Bonanza 1000 at 96.53 / 95.52 / 94.51, but nothing on Pragmatic’s pages mentions the lower pair. Pragmatic’s quoted RTP describes the top configuration on offer, which does not promise that a given operator uses it.

This matters more than it sounds. The source is what gives a return-to-player figure any weight, so a number that circulates among comparison sites with nothing primary behind it counts for nothing.

Licences the studio holds

On record, Pragmatic Play holds: Malta Gaming Authority, UK Gambling Commission, plus PAGCOR, which is historical and not current any more. Do not confuse a studio licence with an operator licence: the studio licence belongs to whoever builds the games, the operator licence to the casino offering them, and the operator’s regulator, not the studio’s, is where a player’s recourse lies.

• Malta Gaming Authority — MGA/B2B/619/2018, a licence granted to the firm Pragmatic Solutions MT Limited For the casino vertical, the B2B Critical Supply Licence appears as Licensed on the MGA’s own verification portal, which is a better source than Pragmatic’s site.
• UK Gambling Commission — On the UKGC public register, account 56015 for Pragmatic Play (Gibraltar) Limited carries licence 056015-R-332216-005 with an active status.
• PAGCOR — historical, and no longer current — September 2016 saw a PAGCOR offshore gaming licence declared by Pragmatic Play. The Philippines has since scrapped the whole scheme; every offshore licence had to end by 31 December 2024, and PAGCOR confirmed they were cancelled. People still quote the 2016 announcement as up to date, because it has never been taken down. It is not.

Pragmatic Play in the Philippine market

Its PAGCOR offshore licence dates from 2016, but the scheme was wound up when 2024 came to an end. No current statement on Pragmatic’s Philippine status exists, which is why the 2016 announcement is not recycled here and the status stays open.

Titles covered on this site
