    4 Stars REVEL IN THE SATISFACTION OF DUMPING SIMON COWELL 30/07/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages The new sensation of playing the stock markets, with the added interest of its innovative use of celebrities as shares

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Slowness of the site, difficulty in succeeding!

    Celebdaq, a strange little name. However, if you're up on your stocks and shares, you will know that it's a craftly little play on words using the American technology exchange, the Nasdaq. Only Celebdaq is FAR more exciting! Have you always wanted to try your hand on the investing markets but always been too prudish to risk your money? Are you a stocks and shares fanatic looking for a risk-free way to indulge in your money-spinning pleasures? Are you fascinated by the cult of celebrity and the tabloid press's daily character assassination? Or do you just have way too much time on yours hands ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages It's free and fun.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages There are some cheats

    Celebdaq is a Celebrity Stock exchange sit run by the BBC. The object is to amass as much money as you can by predicting which Celebs will make the headlines and grab the news. The reasons they make the newspapers or news is not important just the fact that they do. Sounds easy doesn't it. You start of with a budget of 10000. From there you buy shares in the Celebs you think will do the business for you. As on the real Stock Exchange the Celebs are listed along with their current price. Obviously if a Celeb does not make the news for a while their price drops and so does your total value ... more

    5 Stars Take 'Daq And Party! Review with images 28/01/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Addictive gameplay, bright new layout that's easy to navigate

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Pages occasionally slow, tough game for novices

    Thought this site deserved a re-review because it seems no-one's been near it for a good six months or so. Celebdaq is a mini-site run by the BBC, it invites you to buy up shares with an imaginary starting float of £10,000 in a wide selection celebrities. According to how much those celebs appear in the papers and selected other publications determines how well you perform in the Celebdaq league. The game runs basically on the principal that every celeb has a share value. This value increases, as with real shares, according to the celebrity's media coverage and consequently how many people buy ... more

    4 Stars Who Wants To Be A Millionaire..... 11/07/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Easy To Use | Adictive | Fun

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Addictive | Can Be Slow At Times

    Just yesterday I became a multi-millionaire, but before you all get your begging letters sent off, I'd better explain, it's not real money (sadly), but "cyber cash" that I've built up by playing the celebrity share trading game, Celebdaq. So maybe, you want to know a little bit about this strangely addictive game and the website it calls home. Well I'm not sure if I want to tell you. The trouble is, if I let you in on the secret, you might just beat me at the game. Oh well, a little competition never hurt anybody so here goes…. Celebdaq is part of the BBC website and before being able to play ... more

    5 Stars Buy, buy, buy... I mean sell. 15/10/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages You get to experience the shares market with no real risk

    Disadvantages Disadvantages You will spend a lot of time there if you take it seriously

    Well, this site has been up and running for a while now, and appears to have caught the interest of the public like a blind mouse may catch the attention of a butcher's wife. Celebdaq is an online trading game, championed by the BBC, that allows you to trade shares in public figures using virtual money. You are given £10,000, and can then spend it on the celebrities you think will get the most media exposure during the following week. Money is earnt through the value of the share prices (how many people are buying and selling that share) and through dividends (the area of paper devoted to them ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages You will be addicted

    Disadvantages Disadvantages The site is painfuly slow

    This is a must see site. If you like to dabble in imaginary stocks and shares and love all types of celebrities then have a look at Celebdaq. WARNING this will become addictive and after only a month of playing daily I have added the link onto my toolbar. It can be very exciting and you could make or lose thousands of pounds in just one hour. Don't forget I have already told you it is all imaginary stocks and shares. This is not real so do not go worrying about spending any money at all. To join the site is free. You register giving only very basic information then update your profile at a ... more
