Licences the studio holds

Pragmatic Play appears in records as the holder of: Malta Gaming Authority, UK Gambling Commission, PAGCOR — historical, and no longer current. Holding a studio licence is not the same as holding an operator licence: it covers the company that makes the games, not the casino offering them, so a player’s recourse goes through the operator’s regulator and not the studio’s.

• Malta Gaming Authority — Pragmatic Solutions MT Limited has been issued licence MGA/B2B/619/2018. Checked against the MGA’s own verification portal, not Pragmatic’s site, the entry reads B2B Critical Supply Licence, casino vertical, status Licensed.
• UK Gambling Commission — Account 56015, licence 056015-R-332216-005, Pragmatic Play (Gibraltar) Limited: active, and confirmed by the UKGC public register.
• PAGCOR — historical, and no longer current — The PAGCOR offshore gaming licence for Pragmatic Play was announced that September of 2016. The entire framework has since been abolished in the Philippines, all offshore licences having been required to expire by 31 December 2024 with PAGCOR confirming their cancellation. The 2016 announcement lives on online, where it continues to be quoted as though current. It is not.

Pragmatic Play in the Philippine market

Its PAGCOR offshore licence dated from 2016, but the regime was scrapped as of the end of 2024. Unresolved is how this site treats Pragmatic’s Philippine status today, given that Pragmatic states nothing about it, and the 2016 announcement is not repeated.

Titles covered on this site

This site has its own page for 3 Pragmatic Play titles: Sweet Bonanza 1000, Sweet Bonanza, Sugar Rush.

Among the titles Pragmatic Play itself features on its own pages are Sweet Bonanza, Gates of Olympus, The Dog House, Wolf Gold, Sugar Rush. Here the studio is promoting the range it has built. Nothing in it covers which of them any casino carries or which have pages here.

Whether Pragmatic Play publishes RTP

Pragmatic Play lists a return-to-player figure on its own game pages, so an RTP quoted for one of its titles traces to the studio and not to an aggregator.

The RTP that Pragmatic publishes per title on its own game pages, one for each, is the top of a set. Independent records show that operators can pick from three configurations on most titles (Gates of Olympus 1000 at 96.50 / 95.51 / 94.50 per cent, Sweet Bonanza 1000 at 96.53 / 95.52 / 94.51), and that Pragmatic’s pages do not disclose the lower ones. Therefore, the best configuration on offer is what a Pragmatic RTP quote gives, which is not necessarily what any operator is running.

This matters more than it sounds. Without a primary source, a return-to-player figure proves little, and a number that just circulates among comparison sites is not evidence of anything.
