What shapes everything below is that Pragmatic Play provides games to operators instead of operating a casino itself.

A catalogue size is not published. Its total number of titles is a figure the studio keeps to itself.
Licences the studio holds
Pragmatic Play’s licence record lists Malta Gaming Authority, UK Gambling Commission, and PAGCOR, the latter historical and no longer current. Studio licences and operator licences are two separate things, since one attaches to the games developer and the other to the casino, which is why a player with a dispute turns to the operator’s regulator instead of the studio’s.
Malta Gaming Authority — The licence in question is MGA/B2B/619/2018, issued to Pragmatic Solutions MT Limited. Licensed is the status shown for the B2B Critical Supply Licence in the casino vertical, and it was read on the MGA’s own verification portal instead of on Pragmatic’s site.
UK Gambling Commission — Pragmatic Play (Gibraltar) Limited holds licence 056015-R-332216-005 under account 56015, and the UKGC public register lists it as active.
PAGCOR — historical, and no longer current — September 2016 is when Pragmatic Play said it had received a PAGCOR offshore gaming licence. PAGCOR confirmed the cancellation of all offshore licences, which had to expire by 31 December 2024, as the Philippines has since done away with the entire framework. Although it was made in 2016, the announcement stays up and gets cited as current. It is not.
Whether Pragmatic Play publishes RTP
An RTP quoted for a Pragmatic Play title can be traced to the studio instead of an aggregator, because the studio publishes a return-to-player figure on its own game pages.
Look at a Pragmatic game page and you will find one RTP number for the title; that number is the maximum of several. Pragmatic’s pages leave out the fact that lower settings exist, yet independent records list three operator-selectable versions of most titles, for instance Gates of Olympus 1000 at 96.50 / 95.51 / 94.50 per cent and Sweet Bonanza 1000 at 96.53 / 95.52 / 94.51. Any single operator may run a lower setting, because the Pragmatic figure that gets quoted reflects the best configuration available.
This matters more than it sounds. Return-to-player figures stand or fall on their source; a value passed around between comparison sites without a primary source behind it is not evidence.
Pragmatic Play in the Philippine market
From 2016 it carried a PAGCOR offshore licence; that regime was scrapped as of the end of 2024. This site does not repeat the 2016 announcement; with no word from Pragmatic on its present Philippine status, the matter is left unresolved.
On its own pages, Pragmatic Play itself puts forward Gates of Olympus, Sugar Rush, Sweet Bonanza, Wolf Gold, The Dog House. What you are reading there is the studio promoting its catalogue. It tells you nothing on which of them any casino carries or which have pages here.
