The Wii version of Deal or No Deal received "mixed" reviews, while the PC and DS versions received "generally unfavorable reviews", according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[17][18][19]

IGN criticized the Wii version's character design, calling it "freaktacular".[10] The same website also highly criticized the DS version for its dodgy graphics and called it "broken" (due to the fact that whenever the system is shut down, the money goes back into the same case from the previous game the next time the game is played).[8] GameSpot called the same DS version the most idiot-proof concept in the world.[4]
