JL4 PG Soft Games — Studio, Licences & Titles

Titles from PG Soft show up across Philippine-facing casino lobbies, and this page covers what the company itself states and not what operators say about it.

Who PG Soft is

A catalogue size is not published. How many titles the studio has is a number it leaves unstated.

Licences the studio holds

PG Soft is recorded as holding: Malta Gaming Authority, What PG Soft gives as its authorities, the UK Gambling Commission and Gibraltar. Holding a studio licence is a different matter from holding an operator licence: it applies to the company building the games and not the casino hosting them, so a player seeking recourse goes through the operator’s regulator and not the studio’s.

• Malta Gaming Authority — Licence number MGA/B2B/435/2017 belongs to Pocket Games Software Limited (C 76195). Licensed is the status the MGA’s verification portal gives to a B2B Critical Supply Licence for casino. Over a compliance breach, the MGA suspended the same licence with effect from 29 September 2020, and the licence was subsequently reinstated. We keep that history on the page because the current status would seem less eventful than it was without it.
• What PG Soft gives as its authorities, the UK Gambling Commission and Gibraltar — You can see badges for the two of them on PG Soft’s own licensing page. Above, the MGA licence is the one with a public register behind it, and these two come from PG Soft’s listing.

Whether PG Soft publishes RTP

You can follow any RTP quoted for a PG Soft title straight back to the studio, since PG Soft sets out a return-to-player figure on its own game pages and aggregators are not the source.

RTP is published by PG Soft in its game data, yet the page a visitor sees does not display it: the visible field is a blank dash, and the figure sits in the data the server sends with the page. Reading values in this manner gave figures that all matched independent consensus for that title, which makes them real. Readers who check by eye will find a dash, so the wording that holds is ‘per PG Soft’s published game data’ rather than ‘as shown on PG Soft’s page’.

This matters more than it sounds. A return-to-player figure is worth only as much as where it came from, and a number passed around comparison sites with no primary source proves nothing.

PG Soft in the Philippine market

A PAGCOR EGLD approved-games list includes Pocket Games Soft, though this amounts to content approval rather than an operator licence. PG Soft carries a reputation as one of the most-played slot suppliers on PAGCOR-licensed Philippine sites, but the reporting behind it is from affiliate sources, not from PG Soft.
