Let&#8217;s take a look at both to make sure that everyone understands them.<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As for the 100% official &#8220;created by DealDash administrators&#8221; rules, they are both easy to find and easy to follow. They call them the\u00a0&#8220;House Rules&#8221;, and they are very clear and easy to understand so that everyone is on fair grounds and equal footing. You can find these official rules at this link located right <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dealdash.com\/house-rules\">here<\/a>. There are not many official rules, however you should most definitely familiarize yourself with the official rules so you don&#8217;t put your bidding account in purgatory until DealDash has had a chance to look into the situation.<\/p>\n<p>These rules are very easy to follow and shouldn&#8217;t make your bidding or winning any more difficult at all. The House Rules are put in place to make things as fair and honest\u00a0for everyone. Here&#8217;s a quick overview of the rules&#8211; but please check out the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dealdash.com\/house-rules\">full version<\/a> so you don&#8217;t accidentally get yourself into trouble.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Each person can only have 1 account, no exceptions.<\/li>\n<li>You can win\u00a0the same item only once per week.<\/li>\n<li>You absolutely may not\u00a0bid in the same auction with your family members, friends, or acquaintances.<\/li>\n<li>You may not use any type of bidding software to automatically bid for you except the BidBuddy which is provided to everyone free of charge.<\/li>\n<li>Your user name cannot be vulgar or obscene, and it also can&#8217;t mislead people into thinking that you are a DealDash employee, either.<\/li>\n<li>DealDash employees and immediate family are not allowed to bid on auctions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Those are the main points and summaries of the official House Rules. If you need any clarification on any of them\u00a0check out the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dealdash.com\/house-rules\">full version<\/a>\u00a0, and if you are still unclear about anything please feel free to send in a support ticket to DealDash. DealDash customer service reps are extremely friendly and willing to help you with anything that you have a question regarding, be it the rules or how something on the site works.<\/p>\n<p>Unofficially there are a few rules as well, the biggest one being:<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t jump on other people&#8217;s bids.<\/p>\n<p>This means that you should not bid immediately after someone else has bid. It&#8217;s the best practice to wait until the clock has 1, 2, or 3 seconds left before you put your bid into the auction. The reason that this is important is that every bidder who has put in a bid and spends time as the highest bidder earns seconds on their &#8220;bid clock.&#8221; When each person&#8217;s bid clock has been filled up they will receive free bids from DealDash. As I said, this is a completely unofficial rule, and no DealDash employee will enforce this rule. However, this is a very common &#8220;rule&#8221; among the bidders, and you will usually be quickly corrected by other bidders by having your bids &#8220;jumped on&#8221; therefore losing out on your clock time as well.<\/p>\n<p>I hope that this article has helped you become more aware of the rules around DealDash. Remember to pay attention to the rules, <a href=\"http:\/\/dealdash.com\">check out the auctions<\/a> and see what you would really like to bid on, see you on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dealdash.com\/\">DealDash<\/a> everyone!
