This is a site and also now an app that allows you to compete for prizes for answering trivia questions correctly. Now there are also in app purchases like there are on most apps these days. Even on the web version. So please understand that you more than likely will need to spend some money to win a prize here. Now the amount can range dramatically depending on who your up against. However, if you understand when to walk away you can do just fine. Don't get caught up in a trivia war in the final seconds of a match that requires you to keep spending money you do not want to spend. There are tons of matches running all day and night long. They run them 24 hours a day. Move on. Also try to find one item you really want and go for that item this way if you spend some money and win you can look at it as a huge discount on something you were gonna buy at the store anyway. The site is legit. It is not a scam. You just need to read the rules before you participate. Just like with everything in life. If you disagree with the terms of service it is this simple... Don't Play! No one is twisting arms. I know the site delivers because I have won twice on here. My first win was a beautiful huge painting and the second win was a very durable dog bed with a solid wood base around a super soft and plump cushioned bed area. High quality items are up for grabs only. No junk. And you choose which matches you want to partake in and are able to see what the reward is ahead of time. No surprises. Is it impossible to win without spending? Not impossible but very unlikely. Very unlikely. However if you get in on something at the right time you can spend very little to win. I only spent around $25 on each of my 2 wins. Sound like a lot? Well considering the painting sells for over $1000 and the dog bed being from a high quality name brand store and handmade of solid wood retails for around $250. So to me it was well worth the money I spent. So in closing, if you go in looking at the game as a great way to get deep discounts on products you love and are in the market for anyway, then you should walk away a winner. It is also fun if you love trivia like I do. The better you are at trivia the faster you advance and can spend a lot less money if you get the bulk of your questions correct. Check it out. There's no obligation to buy coupons. And you can play completely for free. You can even win for free, but only if the challenge is not being heavily played. For example each round of trivia you chose to play in order to get the highest score and win, either costs coupons(which you must purchase) OR lets you watch an ad video instead of using coupons. The ad videos are available all the way up to that matches designated ad limit. Which you will be shown ahead of time what that ad limit is. So say the match your in states you can watch ads in place of spending coupons until the score of 7000 is reached. Then you can play completely free until you hit the score 7000. If If no one goes over that score the item can be won without spending a penny. However that is extremely rare. Now say one of your competitors hits the score 7100. You have a choice to either use paid coupons to play another round to get the lead back or quit the game. Because now that the score is above 7000, the cap for watching ads instead of using coupons has been hit. Hopefully that made any sense at all to someone. That's how you could potentially win spending very little money also. Take advantage of watching all the ads always. Spending money while the ads are available is foolish. You will need it later. As the score rises so does the amount of coupons needed to play another round. So use strategy! I should mention also that if you sign up for emails they offer challenges (I believe daily but don't quote me on that) in which you are afforded the opportunity to earn free coupons to play with. You get quite a bit sometimes too. And yes the challenges are made to be beaten, you may just have to put in a little timeto complete them, but not a ton. I have played the challenges often and never failed at one. I know they come to your email quite frequently, even if it's not a daily thing. Play your cards right and save up your coupons to use all at once on an item you have had your eye on. You just might win that way without spending a dime! So there you go. That sums it up in a nut shell, a very long nut shell.The customer support is also awesome and polite should you ever encounter any issues. I would definitely mention it to friends. I would just make sure they know ahead of time that some money will need to be spent more than likely to win, and advise them not to get caught up in ego wars because that is where foolish money gets spent. Don't spend more than your comfortable with and go in knowing what your doing people. Before spending money anywhere online try actually READING the terms of service instead of just clicking on the box that states you fully understand the terms and you fully agree to the terms! Do that and you should always walk away a satisfied customer or as a satisfied non customer, depending on how the terms rubbed you. This is a really fun and unique game that as a bonus, gives you a shot at winning some really nice prizes. Free shipping too by the way! Enjoy!

Deal Dash is a penny auction site meaning you bid on items up for auction one penny at a time. However, even though each bid you place only raises the final auction price by a penny does not mean that you are only losing a penny each time you bid. Bids must be purchased ahead of time in order to partake in any auctions. And while they are penny bids they cost more when you purchase them, in the area of. 15 cents a piece. Sometimes that number changes give or take a little, but it's usually in that ballpark. The winner of the auction is the person who placed the last bid just before the clock runs down to zero. However the clock only runs out if everyone else quits and you were the only one left bidding. It's not like a typical auction where if there's ten minutes left it ends in 10 minutes with the highest bid. Instead here, the last 5 Seconds of the auction continues to repeat itself every single time someone jumps in and places a bid. In other words, every time someone places a bid the clock goes back up to 5 seconds again. This could potentially go on for hours and it does. So you see at $0.15 per bid this can get very expensive. Also should you win you now also must pay the final price that the auction went up to. On DealDash they auction off more high-class items which can become expensive at checking out even after you have already won as well.so if the auction goes on one penny at a time for hours and hours and when the clock finally does hit zero, if the item price is up to $115.00, then the winner must also pay that amount as well, on top of all his buds placed which he does not get back. Now in all fairness they also offer many specials like half off final value price, or even free checkout days, they have bid sales, and they even offer chances for you to gain free bids by sending in photos of you with one of your wins, or by bidding a certain number of times. They have levels and evert I me you gain a level up you get free bids. And when they do free bids that give you a very generous portion. Not like some sites where you get 10 that you can get anywhere from 100 to 500 free bids just for leveling up. Of course as you get further along of course as you get further along in the game it takes longer and longer to level up. But that is to be expected in any game. They also include a few other Fair things that some Penny auction sites don't like once the item hits $5 no new bidders can enter. There are caps on how many times you can win the same item so it's not the same person winning every time. And that's sort of helps. But you do have your people who are willing to pay way more than retail value just to be the "winner" and that is where the whole thing gets crazy. They are not looking for a deal they're looking for sport and it kind of makes the whole thing lame. You'll see certain people's names and just leave the auction room. Eventually they start to win everything for cheap because nobody wants to bet against them because they know they will not stop. They will pay $200 for anow item with a brand new retail value of $50 if they just go buy it at the store, just in order to be the "winner". Unfortunately it can become very aggressive and I mean very aggressive with certain players and it becomes easy to get caught up in. I don't know if they will ever be able to do anything about people like that or if they even want to seeing as they are probably valued customers from their angle. At any rate I want to mention that DealDash customer service is out of this world. They are hands down the best customer support team in all of Penny auction. They definitely possessed the old-fashioned attitude when it comes to placing tremendous value on their customers, and thats all customers no matter how much you spend. It seems so many modern day businesses have lost that aspect somewhere along the way. So when you come across service like that it is always a breath of fresh air. So to recap The site can be very very fun too. Almost to the point that it's addicting. Of all the penny auction sites this one offers the most opportunity for you to use some strategy. Most others I have tried, the way they have things set up, it is zero strategy and all luck and how much you spend. Here's one example DealDash when bidding on an item we'll show you what that item went for the last five times it was up for auction. So if it trended around $50 every time then you know if it's only at $5 now you may be in it for the Long Haul and it may be best to wait and come back later. Not been on another site that offers this kind of information so it can be used to a players advantage. Stuff like that is what I mean by strategy versus all 100 percent luck. So guys if you use it recreationally every now and then for fun Deal Dash can be extremely entertaining. Just don't get caught up in the hoopla of winning something at any cost because trust me it it will add up on you before you know what hit you. So play careful. And have fun. I haven't read the other reviews on DealDash here but I would not consider it a scam at all, as they lay everything out for you right on the site. It's all explained in the how to start section, there's a tips and tricks section, a help section, a how it works section, a winner section, a dashboard section, and they give you every detail explaining the process from start to finish. So if you should find that you feel its a scam, you do not have to indulge in it. That simple. I personally consider a scam to be something in which includes some type of deceit and that' not going on here. You just have to read things through before whipping out your credit card. But that holds true for any online site in my opinion. Well that's all I got thanks.
