How Old Do You Have to Be to Play on Duelbits?

Minimum age to play on Duelbits, how age verification works, what happens if underage play is detected, and the legal basis for age restrictions.

Written by green

You must be at least 18 years old to use Duelbits. If the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction is higher than 18, that higher age applies. There are no exceptions to this requirement.

🔞 Why Age Restrictions Exist

Online gambling is restricted to adults to protect minors from the financial and psychological risks associated with gambling. Duelbits is licensed and regulated by the Curaçao Gaming Authority (CGA) under Licence Number OGL/2024/1507/0838, and is legally required to enforce minimum age requirements as a condition of its licence.

By clicking "Accept" or "Register" during account creation, you confirm that you meet the minimum age requirement and that you have read and agreed to the Duelbits Terms of Service.

🌍 Age Requirements by Region

In most countries, the legal gambling age is 18. However, some jurisdictions set a higher threshold. If the legal age of majority or the legal gambling age in your country is higher than 18, you must meet that higher age to use Duelbits.

It is your responsibility to know the laws that apply in your jurisdiction. Duelbits does not provide legal advice on the gambling regulations of individual countries.

How Age Is Verified

When you create an account, you confirm that you meet the minimum age requirement by accepting the Terms of Service. Duelbits reserves the right to request identity verification at any point if there is reason to believe an account may not meet the eligibility criteria. If verification is requested, you will be contacted with instructions on what is needed.

🚫 What Happens If Underage Play Is Detected

If an account is found to belong to a person under the minimum age requirement, Duelbits will take the following actions as outlined in the Terms of Service (Section 3.1):

  • The account will be closed immediately

  • All deposits will be voided and returned

  • All winnings will be forfeited

These consequences apply regardless of how much has been deposited, wagered, or won. There are no exceptions or appeals for underage accounts.

👨‍👩‍👧 Parental Responsibility

If you are a parent or guardian, it is your responsibility to ensure that minors in your household do not access your Duelbits account or create their own. Steps you can take:

  • Never share your Duelbits login credentials with anyone, including family members

  • Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on your account to prevent unauthorised access

  • Use parental control software to restrict access to gambling websites on devices used by minors

  • Consider using third-party blocking tools such as Gamban (gamban.com), GamBlock (gamblock.com), or Betblocker (betblocker.org) to block gambling sites across all devices in your household

Per the Terms of Service (Section 4.3), you are solely responsible for the security of your login credentials. Duelbits is not liable for unauthorised access resulting from shared or unsecured credentials, including access by minors.

⚖️ Legal Basis

The age restriction is based on:

  • The Terms of Service (Section 3.1), which state that users must be at least 18 years old or the legal age of majority in their jurisdiction, whichever is higher

  • The Curaçao Gaming Authority licensing requirements, which mandate that licensed operators prevent underage gambling

  • The National Ordinance on Games of Chance (LOK) under which Duelbits' licence is issued

These requirements are non-negotiable and apply to every user regardless of how they access the platform.

Common Questions

I am 18 but the gambling age in my country is 21. Can I play?


No. If the legal gambling age or age of majority in your jurisdiction is higher than 18, you must meet that higher age. The 18-year minimum is a floor, not a ceiling.

Do I need to verify my age when signing up?


You confirm that you meet the age requirement by accepting the Terms of Service during registration. Duelbits may request additional verification at its discretion if needed.

What if I accidentally created an account while underage but I am now 18?


The account created while underage will be closed, deposits voided, and winnings forfeited as per the Terms of Service. You may create a new account once you meet the minimum age requirement. Contact [email protected] if you need assistance.

Can someone else verify on my behalf?


No. Allowing a third party to access your account is a violation of the Terms of Service (Section 4.4). Your account must belong to you and only you.
