Updated over a month ago

Overview

Keeping your account secure protects your funds and personal information. Follow these best practices to maintain strong account security.

Strong Password

Create a Secure Password

  • Minimum 7 characters (longer is better)

  • Include uppercase, lowercase, numbers, special characters

  • Make it unique - don’t reuse from other sites

  • Use a password manager to store securely

Never

  • Use common words or “password123”

  • Share with anyone (OPDuel staff will NEVER ask)

  • Reuse passwords across sites

Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Why It Matters

  • Adds major security layer

  • Requires phone code plus password

  • Protects even if password is stolen

Setup

  • Takes just a few minutes

  • Use Google Authenticator, Authy, or Microsoft Authenticator

  • Save backup codes in safe place

  • Strongly recommended for all users

Secure Your Email

  • Your account email is your recovery method

  • If someone hacks your email, they can hack your account

  • Use strong unique password for email

  • Enable 2FA on email account

  • Use reputable email provider

Recognize Scams

Watch Out For

  • Scammers impersonating OPDuel staff on Discord/Telegram

  • Phishing emails trying to steal login credentials

  • Fake websites that look like OPDuel

  • Anyone asking for your password or 2FA codes

Protect Yourself

  • Only use official live chat on OPDuel.com

  • Never click suspicious email links

  • Always verify website URL (OPDuel.com)

  • Staff will NEVER DM you on social media

See Avoiding Scams and Phishing for complete guide.

Use Secure Connections

  • Use secure WiFi networks (avoid public WiFi)

  • Verify HTTPS in browser (padlock icon)

  • Don’t use shared or public computers

  • Log out when finished on shared devices

Monitor Your Account

Check Regularly

  • Check bet history for unfamiliar bets

  • Monitor balance for unexpected changes

If You Notice Anything Suspicious
