Well it's like an auction and a game of skill rolled into one.
In a normal auction the highest bidder normally wins, but,
with e-lotbidder it's the LOWEST unique bid that wins, which
means you can WIN prizes for literally PENNIES!
You decide what you think will be the lowest bid that nobody
else will make, therefore making your bid unique...and if on
the closing date of the auction your bid is the lowest unique
bid, YOU WIN THE PRIZE!
Place as many bids as you wish...don't forget the more bids
you make the more you increase your chance of winning our incredible
prizes for pennies. And this is the best bit...YOUR FIRST BID
IS ABSOLUTELY FREE! Happy Bidding!
What is the difference between a unique bid & the lowest
unique bid?
How do I place a bid?
Choose any of our auction prizes - you can place as many bids
as you wish on as many auctions as you wish - then when you
place a bid you will see the result of that bid in the “Bid-O-Meter”.
It will also tell you whether your bid is not unique, unique
but not the lowest or it is the current lowest unique bid.
At the same time you will also be given a Bidding Tip which,
by using your skill and judgment, you can locate empty (unique)
bids which no one has currently entered a bid for and also
to help you turn any unique bids you may have into the current
lowest unique bid.
Bidding Tips: Examples
“There are 5 empty bids NOT HELD BY OTHER PLAYERS below £1.50”
This tip informs you the number of bids that nobody else has
bid on making them available for you below the bid you have
placed.
For example if the bid-o-meter says “There are 0 empty bids
NOT HELD BY OTHER PLAYERS below £1.50” that means that all
bids below £1.50 are taken and that there are NO unique bids
below £1.50 so you need to place your next bid above £1.50.
If the bid-o-meter says “There are 5 empty bids NOT HELD BY
OTHER PLAYERS below £1.50” that means there are empty bids
which no one has placed a bid on (unique), so use your skill
and judgement and place bids below £1.50. This helps you capture
unique bids which you could turn into the lowest unique bid
during the game by knocking off the lowest unique bid.
“There are 5 empty bids NOT HELD BY OTHER PLAYERS available
between £1.50 and £2.97”
This tip tells you the number of available/empty unique bids
and where you can find them. Use this to capture unique bids
which could turn into the lowest unique bid anytime during
the auction.
“The lowest unique bid which is CURRENTLY HELD BY ANOTHER
PLAYER is between £2.00 and £3.50”
This tip tells you where the general location of the lowest
unique bid. It allows you to hunt down the current lowest unique
bid so you can knock it off by placing a bid of the same amount
and hopefully turning one of your unique bids into the new
lowest unique bid.
“There are 6 unique bids, HELD BY OTHER PLAYERS below £1.50”
This tip tells you how many other players have a unique bid
below your bid including the lowest unique bid
“You have just knocked off the lowest unique bid and
the new lowest unique bid is between £2.00 and £3.50”
You will see this tip when you have successfully knocked off
the current lowest unique bid. It also tells you the general
location of the new lowest unique bid.
“You have just knocked off a unique bid and the lowest
unique bid is between £2.00 and £3.50”
You will see this tip when you have knocked out a unique bid.
How can I keep track of the bids I have made?
You can see all the bids you have made on any of our auctions
in your Bid History section when you log in.
Your bid history allows you to see how your bids are progressing
and if any of your unique bids have become the lowest unique
bid. This section also allows you to analyse your placed bids
and place additional bids tactically. You will also be sent
emails to alert you if one of your unique bids is no longer
unique or if one of your unique bids becomes the NEW current
lowest unique bid.
