February 19th, 2011 asilonline Please Note: Deal or No Deal has been canceled in both prime time and daytime. This article is to be used for reference purposes only. There remains the possibility that the game could return for an event or special short-run series, and if that happens, we’ll keep you updated in the Game Shows Blog and the casting calls page.
If you want to play Deal or No Deal, you’re certainly not alone. The show is consistently inundated with applications and queries from potential contestants. With a chance to win a million dollars using only intuition and luck, contestants usually walk away with a hefty prize after making deal with the banker. If you’d like to play Deal or No Deal, here’s what you need to know to be a contestant.
The Deal or No Deal Application
The application form can be found at the NBC.com Casting page. The form requires Adobe Reader, which you can download for free. Print out the form and pay close attention to all instructions.
It’s a fun application to fill out, with the standard questions plus a few that are somewhat surprising. You’ll be asked to draw a self-portrait, and compose a short poem or rap! Be creative with this, as they’re looking for enthusiastic contestants who aren’t afraid to express themselves.
Requirements to Play ‘Deal or No Deal’
As all game shows do, Deal or No Deal has some eligibility requirements for potential contestants to meet. These include:
- Deal or No Deal contestants must be 18 years of age or older, and a legal resident of the United States.
- You must not be a candidate for public office, nor become a candidate for one year after the episode you appear on has aired.
- You, your immediate family, or anyone living in your household must not have been employed in the past two years by NBC, or any of the companies associated with the show.
- Contestants and designated supporters must be available for one full day in order to film the show.
This is an overview of the requirements to play Deal or No Deal – please see the actual application form for a more comprehensive list and explanation.

The Video
Along with the application form and all of the other things you need to sign and send in, a 5-minute video tape must be included in your application package.

How to Get on Deal or No Deal
February 18th, 2011 asilonline - Download an application.
In order to be a contestant on Deal or No Deal, you need to get an application from NBC.com, which can be found on their game show casting page. This is all about timing; they are not always accepting casting applications, so be on the watch out for opportunities when they are!
- Describe yourself.
Fill out your application honestly; if you are quirky and unique, let that shine right through in your Deal or No Deal application. Television loves a colorful personality, so there is no reason to tone down your personality!
- Create a short video.
Part of applying to be a Deal or No Deal contestant involves creating a 5 minute video about yourself. Enlist the help of a friend to build a 5 minute video about yourself and your 3 Deal or No Deal “supporters”. Your 3 supporters should be the ones you would take with you if you are chosen for the Deal or No Deal game show. In the video, talk about yourself, your life, your supporters, and what you will do if you win a million dollars!
- Sign all required forms.
Be sure of the thoroughness in the signatures required on a Deal or No Deal contestant application. There are certain contractual issues that will be addressed and you don’t want to risk being disqualified due to an incomplete game show application.
- Send in your application with 2 pictures of yourself.
With your Deal or No Deal application, send in two recent, clear pictures of yourself and each of your potential game show supporters. Gather all of your information; your Deal or no Deal application, your video, pictures, and all contact information and send to Deal or No Deal casting at:

Deal or No Deal
February 9th, 2011 asilonline Various versions of Deal or No Deal have between 20 and 26 prizes in the game; some versions have only cash values, others include prizes such as a car or item prizes. For instance, there are 26 prizes in the U.S. version; all cash values from 1 cent to $1,000,000. The most recent U.S. version only has 22 values, ranging from $.01 to $500,000. The Australian version has 26 values from 50 cents to A$200,000, but includes a $30,000+ car as one of its more valuable prizes. The British version has 22 amounts which contain anything from 1p to £250,000. The South India version of Deal or No Deal ranges from 
1 to 50 Lakhs (5 Million).
The stopping points at which the Banker places an offer vary wildly from format to format, but don’t change within any specific format.
In some versions, a player is allowed to choose their starting case; in others, they are assigned a case at random.
In a small number of variants, the Banker knows the locations of the prizes.
In some versions, a player who rejects all offers is given the option to swap the initially selected case for the last unrevealed case before revealing the contestant’s final prize. Some versions even allow the banker to offer the opportunity to swap in lieu of a cash offer during game play.
Some versions occasionally add side games, with or without impact to the central game.
There are scores of variations in presentation otherwise having little or no effect on the central game. Two common differences are the type of container holding the prizes (briefcases or boxes), and the people who open the containers (models, future contestants, or sidegame players who can earn money for guessing their container’s contents).
Worldwide, the largest win (after adjusting for exchange rates) is €1,495,000 on Dutch version Miljoenenjacht, offered on November 13, 2005. It stands as the biggest win in the history of the format, despite many versions (either occasionally or permanently) having higher top prizes.
