Some sites file each title under a studio slug in the URL and others do not; where the slug is there, the makers can be counted from the operators' own paths rather than from a marketing line.

What this does not settle
A studio slug in a path is the operator's filing, not a licence record. A title can be built by one studio and published by another, and the path does not distinguish the two.
Licence status in Australia
None of the sites on this page about the studios behind the games names an Australian licence; each is an offshore operator as far as Australian law is concerned. The Interactive Gambling Act 2001 and the ACMA's powers under it are quoted on our law page. Amounts are quoted as each operator prints them; nothing is converted to A$.
