Legal overview
Duel is a commitment facility operated by Duel Limited, a New Zealand company acting as facilitator and escrow agent. We are not a gambling operator, an investment advisor, or a bank. Every contract you sign on Duel is a binding agreement between you and either yourself (solo mode) or another named individual (duel mode).
Four documents govern the relationship. Read the one that applies:
- Terms — the service agreement between you and Duel Limited.
- Escrow disclosure — how we custody your stake and when it moves.
- Disputes — what happens if you believe a point was scored wrongly.
- Privacy — what data we hold, why, and how long.
Real money, not play money
Funds moved under any Duel contract are real and non-refundable once forfeited. Duel is not a suitable platform for money you cannot afford to lose. If you are unsure whether to stake, do not stake.
Not gambling
Outcomes on Duel depend entirely on your own documented behaviour against a pre-agreed standard. There is no element of chance, no wagering on uncertain future events, and no house edge on the outcome itself. Duel earns a fixed percentage of forfeited points as its facilitation fee, disclosed before you sign.
