Responsible Gaming
We are committed to promoting responsible gaming. This page explains how to gamble responsibly, recognize potential gambling-related harm, use available player protection tools, and access professional support when needed.
Risk Warning
Gambling involves financial risk and can be addictive. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never treat it as a source of income.
Introduction
Responsible gaming is an important part of the Duel experience. We encourage all players to gamble within their limits, understand the risks involved, and make use of the responsible gaming tools and support resources available on our platform.
Nothing on this page should be interpreted as financial advice or a guaranteed way to win. Gambling outcomes are based on chance, and no strategy can guarantee future results.
What Is Problem Gambling?
Problem gambling is a pattern of play that negatively affects a person's finances, relationships, work, or wellbeing. It can develop gradually and is not limited to any particular game type or spending level.
Recognizing problem gambling early makes it easier to take action, whether that means adjusting habits or seeking outside support.
Signs of Problem Gambling
The signs below do not represent every possible warning, but they are common indicators worth paying attention to in yourself or someone close to you.
- Spending more time or money gambling than intended
- Chasing losses with bigger wagers
- Borrowing money or selling items to keep playing
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or preoccupied when not gambling
- Hiding gambling activity from family or friends
- Neglecting work, school, or relationships because of gambling
Maintain Control
A few simple habits can help keep gambling in the category of entertainment rather than something that causes harm.
- Set a budget before you start playing and stick to it
- Set a time limit for each session
- Never gamble with money needed for bills or essentials
- Avoid chasing losses with larger bets
- Take regular breaks, especially during long sessions
- Avoid gambling while distressed, intoxicated, or under pressure
Minors
Gambling is strictly for adults who meet the legal age requirement in their jurisdiction. Anyone under 18, or under the applicable legal gambling age where higher, must not access or attempt to use gambling platforms.
Tips to Protect Minors
Parents and guardians can take practical steps to help prevent underage access to gambling websites and apps.
- Use device-level parental control software
- Keep account passwords and payment details private
- Avoid saving login details on shared devices
- Talk openly with minors about the risks of gambling
Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion allows a player to voluntarily restrict their own access to a gambling platform for a set period. General account break and self-exclusion options, where offered, are managed through the official Duel website and account settings.
Because exact self-exclusion tools and durations can vary, always check current options directly with official Duel support rather than assuming a specific feature is available.
Contacts
The following organizations offer confidential, independent support for anyone affected by problem gambling:
- Gamblers Anonymous
- National Council on Problem Gambling
- BeGambleAware
- GamCare

Responsible gaming means treating gambling as entertainment with a fixed budget and time limit, not as a way to earn income. It includes staying aware of your habits and using available tools to stay in control.
You must be 18 years old or older, or meet the legal gambling age required in your specific jurisdiction, whichever is higher. Always confirm the age requirement that applies where you live.
Stop playing, take a break, and consider using self-exclusion or account limit tools if available. Reaching out to a dedicated support organization is also a helpful and confidential first step.
