June Stats & July News.
- Two of the most popular deals in June were geolocation bypassing deals: Disney Plus via Turkey: TRY₺349.90 Per Year (~A$30) (Update: No VPN Required) and YouTube Premium via Argentina: ARS $119/Month (Single ~AUD $1.38/Month, Family ~AUD $2.07/Month, VPN Required only to Register) thanks to VPNs and the cheap currencies of Argentina and Turkey. Even the TikTokers love it.

June 2022
dealbot for posting the most popular non-rep deal last month, Free Wolfenstein: The New Order @ Epic Games. dealbot's second most popular deal last month was also about free games - Free Mass Effect Legend Edition + Others @ Prime Gaming. Don't forget to claim that later today! dealbot posted 30 deals last month with vote average of +251. The most voted deal in June 2022 was posted by TA, the CR-rep, on 12% Amazon cashback.
Neoika for posting the most clicked deal last month, 2 HOYTS Unrestricted E-Vouchers for $25 with NSW Discover Voucher. 45,000+ clicks from people doing last minute conversion of their Discover vouchers. However it appears that HOYTS ended the promo early as NSW Government updated terms and conditions that Discover voucher can no longer redeem cinema tickets, i.e. ozbargained.
Katie2014 for posting the most popular competition last month, Win a La Marzocco Linea Mini Domestic Espresso Machine + Coffee from Dimattina Coffee. Turning out trying to win an expresso machine is more popular than trying to win LG TVs (the next 2 most popular comps). Katie2014 has posted 10 competitions in June with vote average of +21.2.
Mods recommended WookieMonster for great tips on gift cards and tested out the gift cards at his own cost "for the good of enriching the knowledge of OzBargainers". 👍
Congratulations to all the winners!
