How DUELO works

Staked play is for adults aged 18 or above, or the higher age required where they live. You must satisfy the Terms, be outside restricted jurisdictions and be legally permitted to participate in real-money skill games. Reading a public guide does not establish eligibility to sign in, fund an account or play.

Sign-in and the age confirmation are self-attestations. They are not completed identity verification, proof of residence or a guarantee that a withdrawal will be approved. Additional checks and restrictions can apply.

DUELO coins are internal account units. Supported USDT and USDC deposits on Solana credit coins at a 1:1 accounting rate after the required transaction checks. Coins are used for match stakes; they are not an investment or a promise of profit.

The product offers supported external Solana wallet payments, third-party card onramps and an advanced exchange-deposit option. Availability and charges depend on the payment provider. Always use the asset, network and deposit address shown in your account. A transfer on the wrong network or in an unsupported asset may be unrecoverable.

The lobby currently offers Tic Tac Toe, Connect 4, Barricade and Dots and Boxes. Tic Tac Toe has four board sizes; the other games use fixed boards. Current stake presets are 1, 5, 10, 25 and 50 coins per player.

The public lobby starts realtime matchmaking. It pairs players with the same game, mode, stake and game options. Joining a queue reserves your stake, so those coins are unavailable for another purchase or match while you wait. You can cancel a still-waiting queue entry to release the reserved stake; a match that has already paired follows the active-match rules.

The server checks whose turn it is, validates moves and determines the result. Both players must confirm that their boards are visible before the first realtime turn clock starts. During play, follow the turn indicator and countdown around the board.

A timeout or forfeit can lose the match and stake. A lost connection does not stop the match indefinitely. If the board or connection fails, use the recovery controls and contact support with the match details; do not assume a disconnect guarantees a refund.

For a completed match with a winner, the two equal stakes form the pot. DUELO takes an 8% platform fee from that pot and credits the remaining 92% to the winner. The credited amount includes the winner's original stake; it is not all profit.

For example, two 5-coin stakes create a 10-coin pot. The fee is 0.8 coins and the winner receives 9.2 coins, a net gain of 4.2 against their own 5-coin stake. The losing player loses their 5-coin stake. A drawn or voided match returns the reserved stakes without a match fee.

The result receipt and wallet activity show the settlement. A rematch is a new staked match, so check the amount and your remaining budget before accepting.

Withdrawals currently use USDT on Solana, including when the original supported deposit was USDC. The current minimum is 5 coins, with a 0.5-coin withdrawal fee. The confirmation screen shows the amount and applicable limits.

Unverified soft-launch accounts currently have a 10-coin daily and 200-coin lifetime withdrawal cap. Reaching a verification threshold does not mean an automatic identity-check flow is available: full identity verification is not yet implemented. Eligibility, funding, account review, provider availability and the Terms can affect whether and when a withdrawal completes.
