Hawkplay Evolution: Licences, RTP Policy & Catalogue

This page covers what the company itself states rather than operators’ claims about Evolution, a studio whose titles appear across Philippine-facing casino lobbies.

Who Evolution is

A catalogue size is not published. How many titles exist is not stated by the studio.

Whether Evolution publishes RTP

The studio, Evolution, shows a return-to-player figure on its own game pages; any RTP quoted for its titles can therefore be tied to that source and not to an aggregator.

Third-party sources report consistent RTP figures for Evolution’s game-show titles, so they are recorded as publishing RTP.

This matters more than it sounds. An RTP figure stands or falls on its source; the same number recycled across comparison sites without a primary source is simply an echo.

Evolution in the Philippine market

In 2025 it opened its first Asian live-casino studio, in Cebu, working with One Visaya Gaming as the local partner. The Cebu studio still streams to operators, using a separate B2B licence, after the revocation of OVG’s own PAGCOR B2C licence in August 2025. There is, in addition, a PAGCOR EGLD approved live-dealer list covering Evolution.

Titles covered on this site

Hawkplay has no Evolution title guide. Evolution appears on Hawkplay for its licensing record rather than its catalogue.

On its own pages Evolution showcases Monopoly Live, Crazy Time, Immersive Roulette and Lightning Roulette. In effect, the studio is showcasing its own catalogue. Neither a casino’s selection among them nor the list of those with pages here is addressed.

Licences the studio holds

Evolution is on record for Malta Gaming Authority, UK Gambling Commission, Approximately twenty further jurisdictions. Studio licence and operator licence are not interchangeable, since the former covers whoever makes the games and the latter whoever offers them, and complaints from players are routed to the operator’s regulator, never the studio’s.

• Malta Gaming Authority — Evolution Gaming Malta Limited is the licence holder, under MGA/CRP/187/2010. Licensed status for a B2B Critical Supply Licence, casino vertical, is shown on the MGA’s verification portal.
• UK Gambling Commission — Active remote licences under account 41655: gambling software since October 2015, game host (casino) since August 2021. The £4.75m regulatory settlement in July 2026 came after a review of anti-money-laundering failings that let unlicensed sites offer Evolution games to UK players. The register of the regulator is public and carries this entry, which is why it is noted here; the settlement amounted to a public statement, not a suspension, and the licence remains active.
• Approximately twenty further jurisdictions — On its compliance page, Evolution itself names licences across Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark, Gibraltar, Greece, the Isle of Man, Latvia, Romania, Spain, Sweden, South Africa, Curacao and various US states and Canadian provinces, plus others.
