I bought the first round of bids to load my account. It was $38. Then I bid on some more bids and got them, but then I placed a large amount of bids into other items not realizing that every time you bid, you spend money. Then, if you do not win the bidding war, the money you spent to bid is simply gone. If you do win, you then have to pay the price of the item you won, plus you’re out on the money you spent on bids. I spent $78 worth of bids on items that I didn’t win, so I just gave them free money. It was my original understanding that if you lost the bid, all of your bids you put into the auction would be reimbursed, but this is not the case. You can only get your bids back if you pay the full retail value and buy the item you bid on. MAJOR SCAM!!!

Thank you for your review. We offer a no questions asked first purchase refund guarantee for new customers, so please reach out to our Support Team so they can help you with this.I thought I would try this for awhile but I should have remembered my last experience and/or read the latest comments from users. I was delighted when I won 3 auctions in the beginning - 2 of them for 1 penny. Yippee! However, after 1 month I finally realized that apparently they let you win in the beginning to give you the feeling that you might actually be able to win an auction fairly reasonably often. I did end up getting a watch I really wanted, but when I reviewed what I had spent on bids (it’s so easy to rationalize $7 for 50-60 bids isn’t it - especially when you win early auctions with only 10 or less) I finally realized that what I got was costing me way more than I would ever pay for things were I in a brick and mortar store. I also discovered that this is time consuming, addictive, and extremely frustrating. I had actually used the bid buddy to bid on an item I particularly wanted, only to lose out because it didn’t put my bids in before the deadline that cut off new bidders.
Additionally this app keeps freezing which means I actually have to keep restarting my device to get back in. Not sure how many times this also prevented me from winning.
Bottom line - yes I won a few things, one of which I really wanted, but this is too irritating to give it a better review. Too bad because I thought I would enjoy this.

After seeing an ad, I played along and bought bids.
Understanding how these gimmicks work, I used those bids to run some diagnostics to confirm what I already knew. The past winners are mostly the same "people" (bots). They seem to have unlimited money and could care less what they spend on buying a product because they only exist to save the product from being a loss. They site says they are "audited", but you cannot view the audit results and have no way to legitimize them as an actual audit. Every once in a while they give a squirrel a nut to actual people to use them as their
"keep the fires burning" proof of winners. If you don't make a bid within the first $5.00 you are locked out. So expect the bots to bid early once to reserve the ability to run up the bidding later. If this app truly has the number of people using this app as it shows they do, the "winners" pool would be bigger. The winners that are always winning are spending money per bid with many bids, plus winning the bids. They would have to be extremely wealthy and stupid with their money. That's not a likely combination. I spent money to investigate before investing in this gimmick. After all, being SMART with your money makes you achieve wealth. Save yourself and play a game, you won't come out ahead.

Rated 5 stars so it would be one of the first reviews you see.
This app is a SCAM!!!!
Look at who is “bidding” on these items. It’s the same names in each item.
“WillBIDallDAY” is the name of one BOT , bidding on like 10 different items at once. If the auctions reset every 10 seconds , how can someone bid on that many auctions at one time ? It’s impossible. And it has to be a scam. And there’s hundreds of names bidding on multiply items. I literally tried to manage 2 auctions at once and couldn’t. Like they’re bidding on 10 different items every 5 seconds. It’s IMPOSSIBLE. THIS APP IS A SCAM. ALL THEY WANT IS FOR YOU TO BUY BIDS. SERIOUSLY YOU CAN BID MAYBE 20 times for $3 and not win anything because there’s a bot bidding against you. Don’t fall for it people it’s literally a textbook example of a scam.
You have to buy bids at 12 cents a bid and up. You then use those purchased bids to bid on items or for bid packages for a good deal if you win. There are accounts that bid on multiple bids packs at once and those accounts are continuously bidding more than what the bid package is worth. I find this odd and potentially a scam. I tried this app for 24 hours and I will be deleting it. It can be quite expensive especially when dealing with possible bots. I just don’t think any reasonable person would put in a bid over 750 times on a package that is only for a 750 bid package. This is being done on multiple bids at once leaving real accounts to lose out to these potential bots. That’s the risk you take when using with this app. I don’t know for sure if there are bots, but I feel there is some “playing for the house” going on.

Hoping to hear from you soon, and have a fantastic day in the meantime!You can spend hundreds of dollars buying bids and then not win a single thing and wasting all of that $$$ so be careful. So strange to me how an item will sell at the previous auction for less than a dollar, but at the next auction when I participate the same item will go soooo much higher. Just know you have to buy bids to participate in the auction, so basically you pay a fee every time you bid ( so far for me bids have ranged from 12 to 14 cents). Then if you are lucky enough to VERY OCCASIONALLY win you still have to pay for the item separately. Some days items are discounted so if the winning bid is $5 you only have to pay a portion of that. You can also bid on bids. Be smart on that. I have seen people use over 200 bids just to win 100. WHO DOES THAT? Another huge issue I have is this app. Mine freezes up A LOT and I’ll be in the middle of an auction and it freezes and when I finally get the app closed and reopened the auction has finished because I could not bid. That is so frustrating, especially when it is down to me and one other bidder. Just be careful with this and I definitely suggest reading the item reviews before bidding as well as any bidding stipulations.

Hi, thanks for your review. I'm glad to hear that you found a strategy that works for you! As you probably know, all bidders are people like you, and none are in any way connected with or controlled by DealDash which makes every auction unique! I'm very sorry to hear about the issues with our app that you have experienced, and we would love to take a closer look. Please reach out to our support team and they will be happy to help you with any questions or assistance you might need. Looking forward to hearing from you soon, and have a great day!While you can VERY RARELY win an auction... there are about a dozen people who control this app - they seem to have limitless bids and win everything (bots maybe?)- you see one of them jump into an auction and your heart sinks because you know they will bid forever and you will just waste all your bids so everyone gets out and they win without even having to spend much even though they are willing to... also you can be in an auction forever and have spent almost all your bids but then someone who placed one bid early on jumps in and wins because you run out of bids... overall you spend so much on bids that even when you do win something you are still down big bucks from all the ones you have not won but bid on... so do not be fooled when they let you win a couple when you are new... that is just to get you hooked ☹️ wish they could even the field somehow because it is fun to bid but unless you can lose lots of money... stay away!!!
