Platform fee (10%)
DuelX keeps 10% of every cash pot as the platform fee. The fee is applied when the match completes — the winner receives the pot minus the fee.
- Example: $10 vs $10 → $20 pot − $2 fee (10%) = $18 paid to the winner.
- The fee is shown on the challenge screen before you commit, and on the wallet history for every payout.
- XP matches are always free — no fee applies.
