Quick Answer

Rakeback = Wager Amount × House Edge % × Rakeback Rate. With 50% rakeback from DUEL5/FUSE: betting $1,000 on a 2% house edge game returns $10 in rakeback. Monthly: $10,000 at 2% average edge = $100/month; $100,000 at 2% = $1,000/month.

The Rakeback Formula

``

Rakeback = W × HE × RR

Where:

W = Wager Amount

HE = House Edge (as decimal)

RR = Rakeback Rate (as decimal)

``

With DUEL5 or FUSE: RR = 0.50 (50%)

Worked Examples

Example 1: Single Bet

  • Wager: $100
  • Game: Duel Originals (1% house edge without affiliate = 0% with)
  • With code: 100% RTP game, effective house edge = 0%
  • Rakeback: $100 × 0.00 × 0.50 = $0 (no edge to return)
  • But: On other games with edge, rakeback applies normally

Example 2: Slots Bet (5% house edge)

  • Wager: $100
  • House Edge: 5%
  • Rakeback: $100 × 0.05 × 0.50 = $2.50

Example 3: Roulette (European, 2.7% house edge)

  • Wager: $500
  • House Edge: 2.7%
  • Rakeback: $500 × 0.027 × 0.50 = $6.75

Monthly Rakeback Projections

Assuming 2% average house edge across all non-Originals play:

Combining Rakeback with 100% RTP

For Duel Originals with DUEL5/FUSE:

  • House edge = 0%
  • RTP = 100%
  • Effective rakeback on Originals = no edge to return (already at 0%)

The maximum benefit is playing Duel Originals (zero house edge) while accumulating rakeback on any non-Originals play.

Annual Projection

Monthly VolumeAnnual Rakeback (at 2% avg edge, 50% RB)

|---------------|------------------------------------------|

$10,000$1,200 $25,000$3,000 $50,000$6,000 $100,000$12,000

Important Notes

  • These are expected value projections; actual results vary due to variance
  • House edge varies by game — always check the specific game's edge
  • Rakeback does not change the short-term risk profile
  • Higher volume increases rakeback returns predictably

Key Takeaways

  • Rakeback formula: Wager × House Edge × 50%
  • Scales linearly with volume — double your volume, double your rakeback
  • Duel Originals have 0% house edge, so rakeback here is redundant (already 100% RTP)
  • Focus rakeback calculation on non-Originals games where edge applies
