Surrendering can be used strategically in a [[Match]] if it would not result in a Match loss. For example, if the player wants to conceal specific cards or their overall Deck theme from their opponent but is very unlikely to win from their current position, surrendering would prevent the possibility of the opponent finding out.
In most video games, in contrast to the official ''OCG'' and ''TCG'' rules, a player is only allowed to surrender the Duel during their own [[Main Phase]]. In some, they cannot surrender until the 10th turn of the Duel or later. Usually, an AI opponent will never surrender, with the only known exception being when subjected to the [[Yata-Garasu Lockdown]]. In some games, surrendering a Duel is accompanied by the player's LP dropping to 0 and/or all their to cards being destroyed.
