Start with the exact name you remember
Write down the provider, title, sequel number and any suffix before searching. An old bookmark can contain a former slug rather than the current display name. Search the words, not just the URL. Our Book of Dead entry preserves the longer Rich Wilde wording as a useful clue while linking to the current provider page.
Punctuation changes are usually easy to accommodate. A trademark mark, curly apostrophe or spacing variation should not send you to a different entry. A new number or edition word deserves more attention because it may identify a different game.
Try the provider’s current catalogue
A redesigned provider website can move pages or make older titles harder to browse. A public catalogue may still contain the identity even when a detailed page is unavailable. Our source notes distinguish this catalogue-level check from a full mechanics review.
An official listing confirms what it actually states. It does not establish ongoing availability at every operator, in every country or for every device. A disappeared page is similarly limited evidence: it can reflect a site change, a regional restriction or a withdrawn title. Do not pick one explanation without support.
Use historical material carefully
A dated provider announcement or old game sheet can help identify a spelling, studio or edition. Retain its date and treat it as historical evidence. It should not become a current operator availability label simply because it remains accessible online.
If a third-party archive or old review supplies a clue, return to a primary source where possible. Check whether the publisher has confused the original with a sequel. A screenshot can suggest a match but cannot establish today’s rules or account eligibility.
Know when the trail stops
If there is no current primary confirmation, leave the identification provisional. Send the exact public URL through our contact route for editorial review. We can correct the index when the evidence supports it, but we cannot restore a supplier’s game or tell an operator to carry it.
If an old favourite is no longer offered where you used to play, do not assume a similarly named game is a substitute. You can finish the lookup with an answer about identity and still decide against creating another account or placing a wager.
