I've been playing this since 2012 and have won many items. It's a great way to purchase items at a low cost.

I don't know what specific experience I experienced on 12/7, however, I have, over the years filled most of my gifting needs through my Deal Dash wins. The quality of the products have always been very good and there is something here for everyone. I have only had 1 or 2 hiccups over the years.but the staff is always very simpathetic and quick to make the situation right. I will continue to be one of Deal Dash's biggest fans!
The same people win all the time! They appear to have unlimited bids, and enter multiple auctions at once. Do not like the new format and doubt I will continue playing once my bids are gone. It's just too hard to win these days!
Very fast response for this time of year. I am sure they are very busy at this time. I have been doing penny bidding with DealDash since 2010 and if I ever had a problem big or small they have always been quick to respond back to help me solve the issue. I just didn't expect being so close to Christmas and all I would hear back from them so quickly ( less than 24 hours) and take care of it. Thank You

I never thought it would be so much fun bidding and playing on deal dash. I have won at least 12 things in such a short period of time. The best part is some of the items were for only. 01.The other items did not cost very much. Just need to set your limits even though if I really want the item I will bid more!
My gift cards arrived within a couple of days. The other items came in about a week. The quality of the items were just as they stated, very well made and not cheap.
I am a fan and will keep on playing, thank you Deal Dash.

It's a gambling site ( A+ scam), please do not use, you are not saving money what so ever like they are advertising, someone will sue them for misleading.
Tip for consumers:
I hope they are not using an algorithm to pump up the prices.

Thanks for your review! Sorry to hear that you think we are a scam. We have been in business since 2009 and we continue to persist precisely because we have an absolute dedication to integrity. We're audited yearly, have done several 3rd party audits of the auction bidding itself, and we're an A+ accredited business with the BBB. However we understand that there may be skeptics, so that’s why all customers are entitled to a 100% no-questions-asked refund on their first purchase of bids. Here are some recent great wins: http://dealdash.com/winners We would love to assist you further, please feel free to reach out to us at support@DealDash.com, we are available 24/7! Looking forward to hearing from you!
When I first joined, it was great fun. Now, there are complete junkies on the site that will bid for more than the item is worth.
For that reason, I usually only attempt to 'win' gift cards. At least when I don't win, I can BIN.:)
Great site, love the idea of it all, and love the items you list (things I've never seen or even thought of before sometimes), just wish those insane 'I will win, by God' people would find another place to play.

I found it was HARD to "win" any auctions without spending a LOT of bid money in the process. I found it VERY interesting that I "won" 3 auctions within about 10 minutes of signing up. That got me hooked and I've wondered ever since if those "wins" were rigged. I am out of bids now and don't plan on bidding again. Luckily this experiment only cost me a net of about $80.00 and my curiosity is satisfied. Best of luck to the company and to all bidders.

Joined a year and a half ago. Initially fun but then became extremely competitive. Rated the site based on my feelings. Was very surprised when dealdash took the time to contact me regarding my review. We spent almost an hour on the phone discussing my concerns and suggestions for improvement. Very impressed that a company would take the time to do that. Made me feel like I matter, that I am more than just another number. Will definitely try site again!

I have had nothing but amazing experiences with deal dash. Customer service is knowledgeable and friendly. I've won many awesome prizes, some for only a penny. The prizes retail for atleast fifty dollars and they ship fast and free. I'm addicted and you will be too. Thanks DealDash for all you do!

Long delays on shipping and receiving products won or bought. Bought gift cards end of November it is now the middle of December and I still have not received them. Also have been searching for a customer service phone number and have not found one to find out we're my items are.

So far I've saved about $30 buying from Deal Dash. I don't really have a need for electronics, so I mostly try to win gift cards, and, occasionally, small appliances. I use the bid buddy exclusively, and am sure happy that's a feature. I've won some free bids, and will keep bidding.

I have won a few fast food gift cards and a grill utensil set but once my bids run down, I will no longer use deal dash. I do not see any way to gain an advantage by bidding on an item in the last seconds versus in the first 9 seconds! Either way it resets the clock so what is the game plan? No different than Ebay, in my opinion.

Request for refunds were made several times and there was one item outstanding. Finally a transaction number was provided and I contacted my Bank and they resolved the issue. Mahalo & Aloha, Ray Gallant

DealDash is a great company/product/idea. The company strikes me as being extremely honest which is the most important thing with something like this.
Plus their customer service is great. When you're new you can ask some pretty stupid questions and they are always nice and polite and fast!

237 bids or $ 142.00. This is what a bidder named "k..." expend in $25 Gift Card + 20 Credits! DealDash store price: $37.00. This is insane! Pay out $142.00 to win $ 37.00!
There was another player named "maxi..." (or bot?), who used 119 bids or $ 71.00.
I was monitoring various auctions and I notice that the same behavior in ALL them.
Coincidence? Ahhh! And you will find the same player (bot?) in several auctions.
Very suspicious! I now understand and agree with all complaints in this site.
I'm getting myself out. BE AWARE!

Sometimes there are issues - BUT they don't worry me one bit/bid. Why? Because DD customer service is always willing to listen and if possible rectify almost any problem. The response is timely, personal, professional and eager to help. I can't say that about any retailer. I hesitate to be specific at the risk of insinuating there are numerous or problematic issues. They may even be the fault of partners in distribution or packing, etc. All I know is that DD takes full responsibility, doesn't make excuses and exceeded any expectations of any issue I've

This is a great app for entertainment and gambling and sometimes you win neat stuff. I recently won an Air Fryer for $. 84 since and about a hundred bids. They run promotions on buying bids all the time so you can get them real cheap (0.12). I've also won gift cards with only two or three bids. Customer service is great and very responsive

Elite bidders that have the money to spend and have done the research on each item's value when sold in various avenues (turn-key, social media, ebay, etc.), will win when it benefits them. However, persons new to auction style selling/buying will be eaten by the sharks with experience.

I just received my items, they take a long time to ship but finally got them! Everything as described. If you have patience, go ahead and try to win auctions. If you want your items fast, think it twice.

First let me just say I have been a member on deal dash for about six months and have won several auctions of top quality merchandise, never encountering any problems, and would have given them a 5 star rating until yesterday. We will find out how trustworthy deal dash is by how they chose to handle what I would consider to be a very serious event that happened to me during one of there auctions. They are supposedly looking in to what happened, so I will wait to see how they rectify the situation and will be glad to come back and adjust my rating, up or down. At that time I will be glad to share what happened to me with all the consumers who count on this site to help them find trustworthy online businesses. Philip H.

Hi Philip, whenever an auction is sold it says "Congratulations" near the bid button. I understand because of this you thought you had won the auction when actually it was sold to another bidder.
Whenever you win an auction, the screen will always blackout and you'll see fireworks exploding with the message: "Congratulations [username]! You WON the [item name] for [price]" and have the option button to Pay later or Pay now.
We apologize for the misunderstanding. We value honesty and fairness very highly and have therefore returned all the bids you used in the auction to try again.
I've only contacted your customer service twice and birth times they were fast to answer and solved my problem immediately! Thank you if I could afford it I would still be with you got sure! May God bless you

At first it seemed harmless enough, you buy bids and bid on items. However, it is so easy to get caught up that you soon realize you have spent a lot of money on bids. I should have been wiser and not fall for their tactics like getting messages you are "running out of bids" or thinking that if I make it to the next level I will be awarded additional bids. Granted no one made me bid on anything, but in hindsight I should have never started this in the beginning. Other players beware it can be addictive and soon you have spent thousands of dollars and have nothing to show for it.
Tip for consumers:
Be careful.

Hi William, thank you for leaving a review. To clarify, DealDash has notifications on the app that lets users know if they are running out of bids so they can stay in the auction, if they decide to do so and help the users to keep track of their auctions. We also allow users to earn free bids by completing their Time as Highest Bidder levels and completing each level rewards a user with free bids. If you need any assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at support@dealdash.com.
I won a $15 Amazon gift card a few months ago and it never came. I emailed them asking what I need to do to get my item, and their response was as follows:
"Thank you for your patience. Our supplier just got back to me, and it seems as if they haven't received the card, so it seems as if it may have been stolen or lost. I would suggest that you inquire with your local post office, other members of the household or even neighbors if they may have received the delivery for you. Unfortunately, we're unable to assume responsibility for this case."
My mail is delivered into a locked mailbox every day. It was definitely not stolen, but could possibly have been lost by USPS.
Trust them if you want, I don't.

Positive experience. I have gotten some really great deals, including an I-Pad, gifts cards, and household items. I received my first bid pack back as promised since I did not win the first time. Everything has shipped fast. I would advise new bidders to read the tips and blogs on this site. Do not bid more than you can afford to loose unless you plan to buy the item. It is a fun site. Remember nothing is free and you have to put some effort in to learn how to bid.

Great to hear Janice and good advice. Thank you for sharing!
Being unfamiliar with the whole process, was very confusing to me when I watched the clock run down on a deal. One would think that the deal was about to end. Oh no, it just lapses over again to another 10 second countdown. When does it end? There is a window at the bottom right corner that gives you a time, but it says x-3. Don't be fooled. I watched that clock. It didn't change every three seconds, minutes, or at all that I could tell. Be very careful. A fool and his money, soon part ways.

Love this site! Got some wonderful bargains and just in time for the holidays! It is a penny auction so for every bid that is placed the item cost increases by one cent. I received a $100 gift card that just cost me $3.44! You do need to purchase bids that they usually have a great deal on, but at a minimum you will spend $36 to get at least 200 bids! Try it out!

When I first started, we had all kinds of deals and really nice stuff to bid on. The last year, the items got cheaper and people got crazier with their bids. It just isn't fun anymore. I'm pushing it with 3 stars. I've used up all my bids and I'm not sure I'll be back. I'll watch and see if things change. Still don't think it is fair for people to be able to "win" every iPad or Samsung or whatever that is up for grabs, just because it is a different size or color. It should be, you win one and that's it... no more. Just because the brand, size or color changes, doesn't make it a new and different item. Also wish the "good deal bid" prices were back now and then... maybe once every quarter or something. Yeah, 15 cents isn't too bad, but still a lot, when 10 cents was a really nice hot deal.

Bid on auctions and save. All auctions start at $0 with no minimum price reserve. Everything must go! DealDash is the fair and honest bidding site. Founded in 2009, millions of bidders have enjoyed Deal Dash auctions since.
Established in 2009, DealDash is the longest operating site of its kind in the United States. Before DealDash was founded, millions of Americans tried out 1st generation bidding fee auctions. These first generation auctions left many people with a poor experience.
After one such letdown experience, spending $50 on a pay-to-participate auction site with nothing to show for it, our founder decided to create a fair and honest alternative to bidding fee auctions, where losing bidders don’t have to lose the money they spent bidding. That is how Deal Dash was born in 2009. Today, over 1,000 brand named products are discovered and won by customers every day!
Bid in our online auctions to catch a deal and if you don't win the auction, you can buy it now and keep on bidding!
Thank you Ron for your customer loyalty. We're glad to hear you've had a good experience over the years and we look forward to making the service even better in 2014 and beyond. Happy New Year!
