Affiliate Disclosure: How Duel Review Hub Earns
Last updated: May 21, 2026
The short version
We earn commission when you sign up at Duel.com through our affiliate links (/go/duel/). This is a real financial relationship. We disclose it on every page that contains an affiliate link. The compensation does not change our ratings or what we publish about Duel, including the parts where we say Duel is wrong.
What we get paid for
- New player sign-ups attributed to our promo code or tracking link.
- Subsequent net revenue from those players (RevShare model).
What we do NOT get paid for
- Specific ratings, our 4.3/5 stands whether or not Duel pays us. Removing or biasing ratings is against the editorial standards we maintain.
- Hiding complaints, we publish the two unresolved Casino.guru complaints and other documented issues openly.
- Recommending Duel to restricted-country players, we explicitly do not.
- Inflating bonus claims, Duel has no welcome bonus; we say so even though "$500 welcome" would convert better.
- Hiding the cons, our cons section lists 8 real weaknesses including the Anjouan licence tier and lack of self-exclusion tools.
What this looks like in practice
When you click any "Play at Duel" or "Sign up at Duel" link on this site, you go through /go/duel/ which redirects to Duel.com with our promo code attached. Duel knows the click came from us. If you sign up and deposit, we earn commission on your subsequent play.
You can also sign up directly at duel.com without using our link. The site works the same either way. The difference is which affiliate gets credited for your sign-up. We obviously prefer it is us, but we tell you that openly.
Why we disclose this
Two reasons. First, it is required by FTC guidelines in the US and similar rules in EU jurisdictions. Second, we think you should know. Editorial trust is worth more long-term than any specific reader's commission, so we are upfront about the economics.
How affiliate income funds the site
Commission income pays for:
- Editorial time, writing reviews, monitoring restricted country changes, running withdrawal speed tests.
- Hosting and infrastructure.
- Translation into 7 additional languages (planned 2026).
- Independent verification of operator claims.
If readers stop using our affiliate links, we stop publishing. That is the honest economics.
