The Deal or No Deal Application Process: A Complete Guide

• Deal or No Deal is no longer filmed in the United States or Canada, so you can't apply in those countries.
• South African and UK citizens over the age of 18 can apply for their country's version of Deal or No Deal.
• Build your application around your unique traits, as well as any personal stories that you think might play well on TV.

Filling Out the Application

Visit the Deal or No Deal website for UK or South Africa. As of now, Deal or No Deal is only filming in the United Kingdom and South Africa. If you're a resident of either location, are 18 or older, and want to apply, check the Deal or No Deal website for your region to look for application dates and fill out the audition form: UK: https://www.dealornodeal.co.uk South Africa: https://dealornodeal.co.za

Click the Enter Now or Apply Now button. This takes you to your region's Deal or No Deal application.

Read and agree to the terms. Be sure to read the Terms of Conditions, privacy notice, and all instructions before entering your details.

Fill out the form. The application is broken down into the following categories: Your Details: Basic personal info, including your contact information. About You: Creative question prompts ranging from describing your interests to explaining your strategy for the show. Photo or video upload: UK applicants: Get at least one nice headshot and make sure it fits the parameters laid out within the application. If you take your own pictures, stand in front of a light or neutral background. This eliminates unnecessary distractions from the main focus of the picture: you. South African applicants: South African Deal or No Deal requires a video instead, in which you must introduce yourself and explain why you want to be on the show.

Be honest. Like other reality programs and game shows, Deal or No Deal is looking for genuine participants. Don't exaggerate your accomplishments or fabricate a life history. Instead, focus on your real accomplishments and look at how you can present them in an engaging way. Ask a good friend who knows you well to help you pull out awesome details from your personality and your life.

Have patience. It may be months before you hear any news on your application. Deal of No Deal, like other shows, casts months in advance of its shooting schedule. You have no way of knowing where in the cycle the show is at the time of your application.

Go to the Casting Call

Be prepared for a long wait. Major televisions shows, such as Deal of No deal, hold auditions for hundreds of candidates at a time. It will be an all-day event, so prepare yourself accordingly. Make sure that you bring plenty of water and snacks with you. Also, you will probably have to wait outside for a while, so bring a jacket if the weather is cool or an umbrella to shield yourself from the sun if it is hot.

Dress appropriately. Wear something flattering but not overly revealing. If you have a great figure, show it off in a form-fitting outfit. This goes for women and men, too.

Be prepared to share your story. Deal or No Deal is interested in people with stories that people can relate to.. Talk about yourself, what you've done, your hopes, and your dreams. Speak about obstacles you've encountered and how you overcame them. Don't be afraid to let your emotions and personality shine through. Some extra tidbits to keep in mind: If you have a tragedy in your life, such as losing a family member or overcoming a serious illness, tell the story to the producers. Producers love these kinds of stories as they're great for narrative building. Producers also appreciate quirkiness. If there is something about you that is just a little bit off, let it show. Uniqueness matters.

Demonstrate high energy. Enthusiasm counts for shows like Deal of No Deal. While you're waiting, make sure that you keep your energy high. For example, do something that gets your heart pumping, such as jumping-jacks. You can also listen to your favorite dance tune while bopping your head, or better yet, dancing to it.
