Can I deposit directly from an exchange to Duel?

Technically yes for most cryptocurrencies, but it's not recommended for rakeback-earning players. Exchanges can freeze withdrawals, and you don't control the private keys. Use your own wallet as an intermediary for better control and security.

What is a hardware wallet and should I use one?

A hardware wallet (Ledger, Trezor) stores your private keys offline, making them immune to online hacking. For large balances, this is strongly recommended. For smaller, regular gambling deposits, a well-secured hot wallet is typically sufficient.

Wallet Security Best Practices

✓ Never share your seed phrase or private keys

Your 12/24-word seed phrase is your wallet. Anyone with it has full access to your funds. No legitimate service will ever ask for it.

✓ Store seed phrases offline, never digitally

Write your seed phrase on paper and store it securely offline. Never store it in email, notes apps, cloud storage, or take a photo of it.

✓ Use a hardware wallet for large balances

Hardware wallets keep your private keys offline. Even if your computer is compromised, hardware wallet funds remain secure.

✓ Verify wallet addresses before every transaction

Malware can change clipboard addresses. Always verify the first and last 6 characters of any address you paste.

✓ Keep wallet software updated

Updates often include security patches. Always use the official wallet software from the developer's verified website.
