Part 1: Billionaire Ossi Ketola: I Made $10K a Month in Runescape at 13 Years Old
--------
Entrepreneur Ossi Ketola sits down with Vlad to explain how Duel.com entered the crypto casino space in 2025 with a promise of fairness, zero-edge games, and 100% RTP—meaning no built-in house advantage on its original house games. Ketola breaks down common complaints in online gambling, from delayed withdrawals and KYC timing to traditional casino margins, and explains why he wanted to build a platform that “gives a f***” about players.
The conversation covers how Duel.com makes money through third-party slot games, why volume reportedly grew into the billions, and how Ketola used his own Twitter/X presence to drive early users. He also compares Duel’s disruption to fee-free models like Robinhood, discusses competitors such as Stake increasing margins, and reflects on his broader philosophy from zero-fee Counter-Strike skin marketplaces to building products that challenge industry norms.
