Welcome to September Stats.
No surprise that a good portion of deals posted on OzBargain are electronics or computing related with pets and Internet having just a tiny portion. Just a reminder that you can set your front page & new page settings to show more or less of deals of a certain category. So if you want more of WoofBargain and less of CompuBargain, then hit the … on the front page & change it in settings.

AlphaSquid1604 for posting the most popular deal in September, Paramount Plus Subscription for $5.99/Year on iOS, for a subscription service that's usually $89.99 per year. Most voted deal so far this year.
save50 for posting the most clicked deal in September, Licensed Hoodies $9 @ EB Games & Zing Pop Culture — a deal that was posted in the evening of the last day of September. Quite surprised that so many people are interested in the hoodie. We paid much more for the OzB hoodie, tried to give it away and yet so far 40% of winners do not want it…
Wakrak for posting this quick rising deal, Free $20 e-Gift Card @ Mwave via Little Birdie, which took 7 minutes 32 seconds to get +30 votes and got marked as expired in 10 minutes.
dealbot for posting the most deals reaching OzBargain front page. 40 of dealbot's deals — that's all except 2 deals he posted in September — made to the OzBargain front page with average vote of +238.24. Most popular being Free - Nioh: The Complete Edition at Epic Games.
Congratulations to all the winners!
