Licences the studio holds
Pragmatic Play’s recorded licences are Malta Gaming Authority, UK Gambling Commission, and PAGCOR, with the PAGCOR entry historical and no longer current. A studio licence is distinct from an operator licence, since it covers the game-making company rather than the offering casino, and player recourse runs through the operator’s regulator instead of the studio’s.
- Malta Gaming Authority — The licence in question, MGA/B2B/619/2018, is held by Pragmatic Solutions MT Limited. A status of Licensed applies to the casino-vertical B2B Critical Supply Licence, verified through the MGA’s own portal rather than through Pragmatic’s own site.
- UK Gambling Commission — On the UKGC public register, Pragmatic Play (Gibraltar) Limited holds active status under account 56015, licence 056015-R-332216-005.
- PAGCOR — historical, and no longer current — September 2016 is when Pragmatic Play made its PAGCOR offshore gaming licence announcement. All offshore licences were set to expire by 31 December 2024 once the Philippines abolished that framework entirely, a cancellation PAGCOR confirmed. Still live on the internet, the 2016 announcement keeps getting quoted like it’s up to date. It is not.
Whether Pragmatic Play publishes RTP
An RTP quoted for a Pragmatic Play title can be traced to the studio itself, since Pragmatic Play publishes the return-to-player figure on its own game pages.
Pragmatic’s game pages display just one RTP figure per title, the top end of a broader set. The existence of lower configurations — Gates of Olympus 1000 at 96.50 / 95.51 / 94.50 per cent, Sweet Bonanza 1000 at 96.53 / 95.52 / 94.51 per cent — is confirmed by independent records but left undisclosed on Pragmatic’s pages. The best available configuration, not necessarily the one in use at a given operator, is what a quoted Pragmatic RTP actually represents.
This matters more than it sounds. How much weight a return-to-player figure carries depends on where it originates, and a figure that just gets copied from one comparison site to the next, absent any primary source, proves nothing at all.
Pragmatic Play in the Philippine market
The regime behind that PAGCOR offshore licence, held since 2016, was abolished with effect from the close of 2024. Nothing is stated by Pragmatic regarding its current Philippine status, which is why that status is treated as unresolved here rather than the 2016 announcement being repeated.
Titles covered on this site
This site has its own page for 6 Pragmatic Play titles: Sweet Bonanza, Sweet Bonanza 1000, Gates of Olympus 1000, Fruit Party, Wild West Gold, The Dog House.
Sweet Bonanza, Gates of Olympus, The Dog House, Wolf Gold, Sugar Rush — these are titles Pragmatic Play itself features on its own pages. That’s nothing more than the studio spotlighting its own catalogue. Which of these any casino carries goes unmentioned here, as does which ones get a page on this site.
