Duel's instant rakeback is 50% of the house edge
Duel's interface, read on 18 October 2026, says slots and live games pay 50% of the house edge back when you bet. The badge text is Instant Rakeback. The tooltip fields are Original RTP, Instant Rakeback, and Duel RTP. Duel says that amount can be withdrawn when the bet is placed. The payment is half the house edge. The stake stays spent. The rest of the loss stays lost.

A worked percent
If a tooltip shows a 4% house edge, half of that edge is 2% of the stake. On a $100 bet that is $2 back, while the other $2 of edge stays with the house. The $100 stake is not returned. Use the percents on the game tooltip. This paragraph is the arithmetic, not a quote of one slot's RTP.
Originals are the other product
Inside the 0-edge cap, the house edge Duel publishes is 0, so half of that edge is also 0. The 50% rakeback line is the slots and live line. Originals inside the cap are the 100% RTP page.
What people mean by a refund
A full refund would put the stake, or the whole loss, back on the balance. Duel's published rakeback does neither. It pays half the edge, at the time of the bet, and Duel says that slice can be withdrawn then.
