Pragmatic Play Review

Pragmatic play is a software developer that focuses on creating unique casino games rather than simply duplicating existing titles. They produce a wide range of games, including slots, live casino experiences, bingo and scratch cards. Their games are highly rated by players and have received numerous awards and accolades.

Pragmatic Play also prioritizes player safety, offering secure encryption technology and regular testing by independent third parties to ensure that games are genuinely fair. They are licensed by multiple regulatory bodies, including the UK Gambling Commission and Malta Gaming Authority. Their global presence has allowed them to expand their portfolio and partner with a number of large operators around the world.

The company has a number of white label casinos that offer their games, most of which are outright rogues and have been blacklisted on this site for years. However, they also have distribution agreements with game aggregators which has seen their games offered at a handful of multi-provider casinos that are well regarded by players. Regardless, caution is still the better part of valour when it comes to Pragmatic Play and its casino partners.

Pragmatic Play has a very murky past, having been founded as a spin-off of the poorly regarded TopGame casino software provider in 2015. The founders of the new company were able to claim that they were unrelated to their predecessor, but a number of suspicious activities have been uncovered, including the hiring of Yair Hamami as a senior executive shortly after his employment for a TopGame related entity ended. The so-called Paradise Papers leak of offshore company structures in 2017 has further highlighted ties between Pragmatic Play and Octopus Gaming, IGTech, and other spin offs.
