89PHP PG Soft Games — Studio, Licences & Titles

The studio PG Soft is the focus of this page rather than any operator carrying it. Public regulator records, together with the company’s own material, are where what follows comes from.

Who PG Soft is

A catalogue size is not published. Nothing in the studio’s own statements puts a number on its titles.

Licences the studio holds

PG Soft is recorded as holding: Malta Gaming Authority, Both the UK Gambling Commission and Gibraltar appear in PG Soft’s own listing. Studio licence and operator licence are not interchangeable: the first covers the company making the games, the second the casino offering them, and a player’s recourse runs through the operator’s regulator, not the studio’s.

• Malta Gaming Authority — The licence numbered MGA/B2B/435/2017 is held in the name of Pocket Games Software Limited (C 76195). The MGA’s verification portal lists a B2B Critical Supply Licence in the casino vertical with status Licensed. Following a compliance breach, suspension of the same licence by the MGA took effect on 29 September 2020, and reinstatement came afterwards. Leaving that history out would paint the current status as less eventful than it was, which is the reason it is recorded on this page.
• Both the UK Gambling Commission and Gibraltar appear in PG Soft’s own listing — Both badges can be found on PG Soft’s own licensing page. A public register traces back only to the MGA licence above; these two are stated the way PG Soft lists them.

PG Soft in the Philippine market

For Pocket Games Soft there is a PAGCOR EGLD approved-games list, meaning content approval and not an operator licence. The claim that PG Soft is among the most-played slot suppliers on PAGCOR-licensed Philippine sites is widely repeated, but it traces to affiliate sources and not to PG Soft.

Whether PG Soft publishes RTP

Anyone checking an RTP quoted for a PG Soft title can trace it to the studio rather than to an aggregator, because PG Soft publishes a return-to-player figure on its own game pages.

PG Soft publishes RTP in its game data, but a visitor’s page does not render it, with a blank dash in the visible field, while the server sends the figure inside the page’s data. Independent consensus for the same title matched every value read this way; the numbers are real. ‘Per PG Soft’s published game data’ is still the correct phrasing, and ‘as shown on PG Soft’s page’ is not, because a reader who checks by eye will find a dash.

This matters more than it sounds. Without a primary source behind it, a return-to-player figure repeated across comparison sites is not evidence of anything; such a figure is only as good as its source.

Titles covered on this site
