Where is Duelbits located? The short answer — Curaçao — is true and also incomplete. The licensed operator sits in Willemstad, but the people actually running payments and support sit somewhere else entirely.

The Licensed Entity: Liquid Entertainment N.V.

Duelbits is a brand name of Liquid Entertainment N.V., registered in Curaçao under company number 153298, with a registered address at Zuikertuintjeweg z/n, Zuikertuin Tower, Willemstad, Curaçao. This is the legal entity that holds the gambling license and bears responsibility for the platform. It has operated continuously since Duelbits launched in 2020.

License: Curaçao Gaming Authority number OGL/2024/1507/0838, issued directly to Liquid Entertainment N.V. under the post-2023 National Ordinance on Games of Chance — the single-license regime that replaced Curaçao’s old resold-sublicense structure. A direct license carries more regulatory accountability than the sublicenses many smaller offshore books still run under.

Who Actually Runs the Site: Herpestidae Services Limited

The registered address in Curaçao is not where Duelbits is staffed. That work belongs to Herpestidae Services Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary registered at 1 Avlonos, Maria House, Nicosia, Cyprus (registration number HE 410029). Herpestidae provides the management, payment processing, and customer-support services that keep the platform running day to day — the kind of function a Curaçao holding company typically outsources to an EU-based subsidiary with access to European banking relationships and a deeper local hiring pool.

This two-entity structure is not unusual among Curaçao-licensed crypto operators, but it means “Duelbits is in Curaçao” answers the licensing question and not the operational one. The license lives in Willemstad; the support ticket someone files probably gets answered from Nicosia.

Neither Address Is in the United States

Whichever entity a reader is asking about, the answer to “is Duelbits American” is no. There is no US office, no US employees, and no US gambling license anywhere in the structure. That is a related but separate fact from Duelbits’ own registration rule: the platform blocks US player sign-ups outright, regardless of where an American reader is located when they try. Both facts point the same direction — this is a Curaçao-and-Cyprus operation with no American footprint at all.

Why the Location Actually Matters

Location determines recourse more than it determines day-to-day safety. A direct Curaçao Gaming Authority license held by the operating company itself, rather than rented from a sublicense holder, is a real regulatory relationship — Liquid Entertainment N.V. answers to that regulator by name. But Curaçao oversight is still lighter-touch than a US state gaming commission’s, and any dispute resolves under Curaçao’s rules no matter which country’s staff handled the ticket. For the US readers this question usually comes from, it is moot in practice: there is no account to have a dispute about in the first place.
