LOVEJILI Game Providers — The Five Studios on This Site
You get 5 pages on game providers in this section.
- LOVEJILI CQ9 Gaming
- CQ9 Gaming belongs to the studio side and not the operator side.
- LOVEJILI Evolution Games
- Evolution is a studio that supplies games, not an operator.
- LOVEJILI JILI
- In industry terms, JILI is a studio, never an operator.
- LOVEJILI PG Soft
- The role of PG Soft is that of a game studio, not an operator.
- LOVEJILI Pragmatic Play
- A studio is what Pragmatic Play is, and an operator is what it is not.
Keep them apart: studio and casino are different companies with their own regulators, and failing to do so is the most common mistake on this topic. For every studio whose titles surface in lobbies facing Philippine players, a page explains its identity, what it is genuinely licensed for, and whether the return-to-player figure it releases can be checked. There are 5 pages below.

With 5 pages, each entry is handled individually and not folded into a summary of several. Anything above showing “not published” has a page of its own saying whose job publishing it would have been.
Each entry in a paragraph
Each entry gets just enough to show whether its page is worth a visit.
Pragmatic Play in full
Founded 2015, based in Gibraltar. Five kinds of game come from this builder: slots, live casino, bingo, crash games and virtual sports.
Its page starts with a record for Malta Gaming Authority. Its holder is Pragmatic Solutions MT Limited, under licence MGA/B2B/619/2018.
One of its titles quoted with an RTP figure can be traced to the studio, since the studio publishes RTP. On the studio side, Pragmatic prints a single per-title RTP that stands at the top of a set of possible values.
JILI explained
On the founding year and the headquarters, it says nothing. What this studio puts out ranges over fishing games, bingo, slots, and table and card titles.
Opening its list of records is PAGCOR (Electronic Gaming Licensing Department). PAGCOR EGLD has put JILI on record, since its games are on the approved electronic games register.
It publishes no RTP. The titles on this site carry no quoted figure from it, and third-party estimates elsewhere do not agree with each other.
PG Soft explained
Founded 2015, based in Valletta, Malta. Builds slots.
Its page starts with a record for Malta Gaming Authority. Pocket Games Software Limited (C 76195) works under licence MGA/B2B/435/2017.
One of its titles quoted with an RTP figure can be traced to the studio, since the studio publishes RTP. RTP from PG Soft exists in the game data, though the page shows nothing but a dash, with the figure carried in the server response instead.
CQ9 Gaming in full
On the founding year and the headquarters, it says nothing. Its development work takes in slots, fishing games, table games and arcade games.
Opening its list of records is PAGCOR (Electronic Gaming Licensing Department). There is such a thing as a game-content approval list, and PAGCOR hosts it on its own site.
It publishes no RTP. The titles on this site carry no quoted figure from it, and third-party estimates elsewhere do not agree with each other.
The Evolution entry
Founded 2006, based in Stockholm, Sweden. Builds live dealer casino, live game shows.
Its page starts with a record for Malta Gaming Authority. MGA/CRP/187/2010 is the licence held by Evolution Gaming Malta Limited.
One of its titles quoted with an RTP figure can be traced to the studio, since the studio publishes RTP. RTP figures exist for Evolution’s game-show titles and third-party sources agree on them, so the row is recorded as publishing RTP..
The thing most often got wrong here
The thing to get straight is how a PAGCOR operator licence differs from a PAGCOR EGLD listing. For a studio, an EGLD listing means its game content has PAGCOR’s approval for the operators PAGCOR licenses. This does not amount to a licence for the studio, and it says nothing of casinos that carry the games.
Four of the seven studios under this heading have only that. They avoid blurring the two on any page: “PAGCOR listed” is one word from “PAGCOR licensed” yet worlds away, and most readers are hoping for the second.
Take the game providers details from the game itself
Trust is not what any of this rests on. No licence claim on these pages comes from anywhere but a public register, and the registers are open to all:
- Confirming a Malta licence means opening the MGA authorisation portal and searching on the name of the company behind the brand. Subsidiaries under different names frequently hold the licence, so Pragmatic Play’s Malta licence turns up in the name of Pragmatic Solutions MT Limited instead of Pragmatic Play.
- Where a UK licence is claimed, go to the Gambling Commission public register and search the account number. One record covers an active licence’s activities, their start dates, and any regulatory settlement against the holder.
- The place to see the PAGCOR EGLD listing is the studio’s approved-games PDF, hosted on pagcor.ph. Pay attention to the subject of the approval, which is game content for licensed operators. Where no licence statement appears in the document, the studio holds none.
- The studio’s own page for that specific title is the one to open when checking an RTP figure. A comparison site cannot supply what is not there, and a clash between two comparison sites is the finding.

FAQ
From this group of studios, which ones put an RTP figure on record?
Pragmatic Play, PG Soft, Evolution. The rest do not, hence no RTP for their titles here; a comparison site's number is not borrowed.
Does a studio licence protect a player?
Not directly. Coverage under a studio licence stops at the company that makes the games. Any recourse available to a player runs via the operator's regulator, whose licence a different company holds.
Does LOVEJILI carry all of these studios?
Go to Games in the LOVEJILI lobby, where every game tile shows its studio and you can tell which are available to you. A studio's own published record is the basis for how these pages describe it.
What changes between a PAGCOR licence and a PAGCOR EGLD listing in what they tell you?
For operators PAGCOR licenses, an EGLD listing is the sign-off on a studio's game content. Operators, not games, hold a PAGCOR licence, and it authorises them to run a casino. Four studios here can show the first, and no studio here can show the second.
What accounts for studios without a founding year or headquarters here?
Because they do not publish one. Neither figure appears on JILI's or CQ9 Gaming's own sites. Since affiliate listicles circulate figures for both without a primary source, none of those figures is repeated here.
Can you rely on a GLI or BMM certification to tell you a game is fair?
What it means is simple: an independent test laboratory put the random number generator and the paytable up against a standard. It carries weight and is distinct from a licence, while neither reveals anything about the operator offering the game.
