Dueling Grounds: How to Claim Like, Favorite, and Group Rewards

Fix the "Could not verify" error and collect the free Coins and Gems tied to Dueling Grounds' reward tasks.

Fix the “Could not verify” error and collect the free Coins and Gems tied to Dueling Grounds’ reward tasks.

Dueling Grounds hands out free Coins and Gems for three small account actions: liking the experience, favoriting it, and joining the developer’s Roblox community. The catch is that the in-game Verify button only checks your account status when the server loads you in, so pressing it while you are still in the same session almost always throws back a Could not verify message.

Quick answer: Leave the game, like and favorite Dueling Grounds on Roblox, join the Dueling Grounds community from the Developer link on that page, then rejoin the experience and press Verify in the Rewards menu.


Dueling Grounds like and favorite rewards

The rewards live behind the star icon on the left side of the screen. Opening it shows each task, its payout, and a Verify button that runs a short countdown before it either grants the currency or fails.

The same panel also holds the Special Codes field, where promotional codes such as GemsUpdate go in before you hit Redeem. It is worth clearing that box out before you start verifying so you can see which reward actually paid out.

Why the Verify button returns “Could not verify”

Nothing is broken when the countdown ends in an error. Roblox does not push a live like or favorite status into a running session, so the check reads whatever was true when you joined the server. If you liked the game five seconds ago in another browser tab, the server you are standing in still thinks you have not.

That makes the order of operations the whole trick. Do the account-side actions first, then get a fresh session, then verify.


Like and favorite Dueling Grounds on the Roblox page

Open the Roblox settings menu inside the game and choose Leave. Confirm on the “Are you sure you want to leave the game?” prompt to drop back to the Roblox main menu.

From the Roblox Discover page, find Dueling Grounds in the experience grid or type the name into the search field. The tile is labelled with an update tag in front of the name, so look for the bracketed prefix rather than a bare title.

On the experience page, click the thumbs up icon under the game thumbnail. The percentage rating next to it ticks over once the like registers, and the icon stays filled in.

Click the star button on the same page to favorite the experience. Both actions are toggles, so do not click them twice or you will undo the task you just completed.

Join the Dueling Grounds community for the group reward

Stay on the experience page and scroll down to the Information section. The Developer entry there is listed as Dueling Grounds, and it doubles as the link to the studio’s Roblox group.
Click that Developer link. A side panel slides out with the Dueling Grounds community details and the Join Community button near the top.
Press Join Community. Membership applies to your account immediately, and the button flips to show you are already in.

If the button is greyed out, your account has hit the ceiling on how many communities it can belong to. Leave a group you no longer use, refresh the page, and the button becomes clickable again.

Rejoin and confirm the Coins and Gems landed

Launch Dueling Grounds again from the experience page and open the star menu once you are in the hub. Press Verify on each task and let the countdown finish. A successful check removes the task’s Verify prompt and adds the currency, so watch your Coin and Gem totals at the top of the screen rather than the button itself.

Three things account for nearly every failed verification. You are still in the old session, you toggled the like or favorite off by clicking twice, or the group join never went through because of the community limit. Each reward is a one-time payout per account, so an already-claimed task will not pay again on a second server.

Note: unliking or unfavoriting the game later does not claw back the Coins and Gems, but leaving them in place keeps the tasks tidy if the developers add further community milestones.


Between the like, the favorite, and the group task, this is a few thousand Coins and well over a hundred Gems for about two minutes of clicking — enough to put a real dent in the cost of a new weapon before you have won a single duel.
