Is DuelDonkey legal?
Short answer: Yes, DuelDonkey is legal. Long answer: Yes, here's why:
When one wonders if and why DuelDonkey is legal, it mostly relates to gambling. Gambling is defined as "a wager of money or other value on a future event with an uncertain outcome, the outcome of that event depending materially on luck or chance". Gambling is not illegal (in most countries) but is controlled and licensed by government agencies as gambling can be addictive and have negative effects when people play for real money. The fact that it is a very nice source of income for states could also play a role here.
Playing your favorite video games for real money on DuelDonkey is not associated with gambling as there is no element of chance and relies purely on skill. That's why we limit the game selection to certain eSports titles that are based solely on skill and not on luck or any random events.
We have worked closely with law firms and authorities to be able to legally offer DuelDonkey in Germany. The German gambling authorities have checked our platform and have not classified our offer as gambling.
