PHDREAM Game Providers — Every Studio Covered Here

Game providers get their own dedicated coverage here — 5 pages worth, all within this section.

PHDREAM FA CHAI Gaming GamesGame development is FA CHAI Gaming's business; operating a casino is not.
PHDREAM CQ9 Gaming GamesRunning casinos has nothing to do with CQ9 Gaming's business — building games does.
PHDREAM JDB Gaming GamesRunning casinos isn't JDB Gaming's business — building the games is.
PHDREAM JILI GamesBuilding games is JILI's business; running a casino is somebody else's job entirely.
PHDREAM PG Soft GamesCasino operation sits outside PG Soft's role entirely — its business is designing the games themselves.

This section covers 5 game providers entries. A casino and the studio behind its games sit under entirely separate regulators as entirely separate companies, and treating the two as one is the slip-up people make most often in this area. Every studio whose games surface in a Philippine-facing lobby gets the same three-part treatment on these pages — a clear identity, the scope of what its licence actually permits, and a note on whether it publishes a return-to-player figure anyone can verify.

Summaries covering several entries at once don’t appear here; instead, each of these 5 pages sticks to just a single one. When a field above shows “not published”, who would have needed to publish it is explained on the entry’s own page.

Each entry in a paragraph

Just enough on each so you know which page is worth opening.

JILI explained

Neither a founding year shows up nor is any headquarters given a mention. Fishing games, bingo, slots and table and card games all fall under what this studio builds.

PAGCOR (Electronic Gaming Licensing Department) is the credential its page records ahead of everything else. PAGCOR EGLD has JILI titles on its books as approved electronic games.

It publishes no RTP. You won’t see a number from this site for its titles — elsewhere, all that’s out there are conflicting third-party estimates.

PG Soft explained

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

Malta Gaming Authority claims the leading spot in the record shown on its page. Company registration C 76195 belongs to Pocket Games Software Limited, the party behind licence MGA/B2B/435/2017.

Trace any quoted figure for one of its titles back far enough and you land on the studio, since RTP publication is where that number originates. A blank dash occupies the RTP field on the page as a visitor sees it, even though PG Soft publishes the figure within the game data delivered alongside that page.

The FA CHAI Gaming entry

Founded 2019, and states no headquarters. Table games, arcade games, 3D fishing games and slots make up what gets built here.

Curacao Gaming Authority is where the record on its page begins. WiseInNet Technologies B.V., which runs the site for FA CHAI, is the party holding licence OGL/2024/1184/1010.

Trace any quoted figure for one of its titles back far enough and you land on the studio, since RTP publication is where that number originates. Among these seven studios, FA CHAI is the simplest to verify, since RTP shows up directly on its own public games listing..

CQ9 Gaming in full

Neither a founding year shows up nor is any headquarters given a mention. Arcade games, table games, fishing games and slots round out what gets built here.

PAGCOR (Electronic Gaming Licensing Department) is the credential its page records ahead of everything else. A list of approved game content is published on PAGCOR’s site itself.

It publishes no RTP. You won’t see a number from this site for its titles — elsewhere, all that’s out there are conflicting third-party estimates.

JDB Gaming explained

Neither a founding year shows up nor is any headquarters given a mention. Builds fish shooting games, slots.

PAGCOR (Electronic Gaming Licensing Department) is the credential its page records ahead of everything else. PAGCOR’s own website hosts a list approving game content.

It publishes no RTP. You won’t see a number from this site for its titles — elsewhere, all that’s out there are conflicting third-party estimates.

The thing most often got wrong here

What counts above everything else discussed here is not confusing a PAGCOR operator licence with a PAGCOR EGLD listing. Getting an EGLD listing is how PAGCOR signs off on a studio’s content, opening it up for the operators that PAGCOR itself licenses. Ownership by the studio isn’t what this licence represents, and it offers no comment on whichever casino happens to carry those games.

That single item is as far as four out of these seven studios below actually reach. One word is the entire gap between “PAGCOR listed” and “PAGCOR licensed,” yet what each phrase actually promises couldn’t be further apart — a distinction spelled out on every page they run, with the second normally being the one readers came looking for.

Provider information for the game is something worth verifying from inside the game screen itself

Verification, not faith, is what backs every claim made on this page. Public, open registers are what every licence claim across these pages actually traces back to:

  1. The brand name won’t get you anywhere on the MGA authorisation portal — search the company name instead when checking a Malta licence. Pragmatic Play’s Malta licence is a good example of the pattern — it belongs to Pragmatic Solutions MT Limited, a subsidiary carrying its own separate name, rather than to any company literally called Pragmatic Play.
  2. The account number is the key — feed it into the Gambling Commission’s public register and a UK licence surfaces. One record covers three things for an active licence: what it authorises, the date each activity started, and any regulatory settlement filed against the holder.
  3. Head straight to pagcor.ph and pull up the studio’s approved-games PDF — that single document is proof of a PAGCOR EGLD listing. Game content meant for licensed operators is the actual thing being approved here. Treat silence in the document as the answer: no stated licence means the studio has none.
  4. An RTP figure for a particular title has exactly one home: that title’s own page on the studio’s site, so start there. Two comparison sites landing on different numbers doesn’t mean one of them is right — it means the figure was never published, and no comparison site can manufacture what isn’t there.

Finding game providers at PHDREAM

  1. Open the game lobby after signing in at PHDREAM.
  2. Whether you narrow things down with a studio filter in the lobby or just type the title into search, both get you there.
  3. Before you ever place a bet, its stake range and paytable are sitting right there on the game’s info screen for you to check.
  4. A session budget belongs first on the list, with modest opening bets reserved for any studio you haven’t played before.

FAQ

RTP transparency varies by studio here — which of them actually publish a figure?

PG Soft, FA CHAI Gaming. For every other title where a studio has kept RTP unpublished, this page states none as well, choosing not to pull a substitute figure in from a comparison site.

Does a studio licence protect a player?

Not directly. A studio licence exists for one reason: to cover whichever company is actually building the games. A separate company altogether holds the licence behind the operator's regulator, and that regulator is exactly where a player's path to recourse leads.

Does PHDREAM carry all of these studios?

Open Games in the PHDREAM lobby: each game tile names its studio, so you can see which ones are live for you. A studio's own published record is what these pages lean on, entry by entry, to describe it.

Holding a PAGCOR licence and appearing on a PAGCOR EGLD listing aren't the same thing — in what way do they actually diverge?

PAGCOR-licensed operators only get the green light to use a studio's game content once that content earns an EGLD listing. Operators are the ones who carry a PAGCOR licence, and that credential is precisely what gives them the authority to run a casino. Count them up: four of these studios qualify on the first point, and not a single one qualifies on the second.

A handful of studios in this list show neither a founding year nor a headquarters — what's driving that gap?

Because they do not publish one. On their own sites, JILI, CQ9 Gaming and JDB Gaming each keep both figures undisclosed. Affiliate listicles are the only place either number shows up, unsupported by any primary source, which is exactly why this page repeats neither.

Holding a GLI or BMM certification — does that actually settle whether a game plays fair?

Both the random number generator and the paytable went under an independent test laboratory's microscope, measured there against a standard. Meaning attaches to it even though it's nothing like a licence, and on the question of which operator actually offers the game, neither one has anything to say.
