🔥 What Makes This Season So Special?

Hosted by the ever-charismatic Grant Denyer, the 2025 season of Deal or No Deal blew viewers away — not just with money, but with stories. And 2026 is shaping up to be even more emotional, thrilling, and unforgettable.

Here’s a peek at a few inspiring contestants from last season:

  • Bron, who worked two jobs and dreamed of finally taking that Hawaii trip for her 40th birthday
  • Joshua, a cheeky tradie who wanted to use the winnings to start a toastie truck business
  • Sandra, who never traveled out of her state until Deal or No Deal brought her to Melbourne — and then sent her home $75,000 richer

These are just ordinary Aussies, just like you.

So… what’s your story?

Who can apply for Deal or No Deal 2026 in Australia?

Anyone aged 18 or over, residing in Australia with legal eligibility to work and appear on TV, can apply. You must also be available for filming in Melbourne.

Do I need acting or TV experience to get selected?

No acting experience is required! Producers are looking for real people with personality, not trained performers. Energy, authenticity, and great stories matter most.

Can I apply if I’ve been on another reality show before?

Yes, but you must disclose this in your application. Prior TV appearances won’t automatically disqualify you—but transparency is essential.

How long does the audition process take?

After applying, shortlisted candidates are contacted within a few weeks. If selected, you’ll be scheduled for a casting interview or virtual audition before final selections.

Is there any cost to apply or participate?

Applying for Deal or No Deal is completely free. However, if you’re selected, you’ll need to arrange and cover your own travel to the filming location in Melbourne unless otherwise stated.

What should I include in my video submission?

Keep it short (20–30 seconds), natural, and energetic. Talk directly to the camera and share why you’d be a great contestant. Avoid over-editing—just be yourself.

Can I reapply if I applied last season?

Absolutely. If you weren’t selected in a previous season, you’re welcome to reapply for next Season with an updated video and application.

What happens if I’m chosen as a standby contestant?

Standby contestants are kept on call during filming days and may be invited to participate if scheduled contestants are unavailable or drop out. You’ll still get to experience the filming environment.
