herysoe for posting the most popular deal last month, $10 Voucher from JB Hi-Fi Perks (+1542 votes). It's also the most clicked deal in May, with 53,000+ click-throughs to JB Hi-Fi's website. $10 off perks-price is now expected from all the future JB deals.
dealbot for posting the most popular freebies in May, Free BioShock: The Collection @ Epic Games (+989 votes). Together with Free Borderlands 3 (+940 votes) also from Epic Games, these are probably the best free games from Epic so far this year.
Phalaxis for posting the most entered competition in May, Win a 12th Gen Intel Core i7-12700K x ASUS Custom PC from Intel. More than 300 OzBargainers marked themselves as entrants to win this gaming PC, which is surprisingly more than those trying to win a Toyota Yaris Cross.
Twix for being the most helpful power user who edits hundreds of posts each month, every single month.
Congratulations to all the winners!
