Duped is a good word used most frequently for being led into doing something by false promises or trickery
A very common way you would hear it saw would be in a retort "He's not going to dupe me into doing that!" or an excuse "Why are you invovled on that side of the mess anyway? " "He duped me into it" ..
(things like that)
While it might stretch the word a bit thin you might be understood without extra context
(I know that is a bit different than your sample sentence)
It does not strictly mean 'complying' however it is very frequently used for being made a pawn to serve another's aims -
... but 'serving unquestioningly/unwittingly' and 'being compliant to' are pretty close. ... but 'being compliant to' and "complying to' are slightly different
Another trip-up: the idiomatic usage is "duped into VERBing something" or "duped into a situation". In a way, some of the "complying" is another idiomatic method were we will drop a necessary verb when a word suggests the verb that would apply. Is "They were forced into unfair rules." ok or must it be "They were forced into complying with unfair rules." ?
I am just warning that there is something a little tricky in there. (thanks to @geneSummons comment in top section)
'Duped' fits the spirit of of a special type of deception that makes a person compliant. "Tricked into rules" might also suggest compliance as 'xxxx into rules' assumes compliance ... but "Tricked" might merely 'mislead' into an action, not cast a spell to make someone compliant to anothers wishes.
