The rush of the purchase, none of the regret
PretendBuy is a fantasy luxury shopping simulator. You spend virtual Dopamine Dollars (DD) on ultra-luxury items that never ship, never charge your card twice, and never end up in a closet. It's window shopping, gamified.
Why does this exist?
The fun part of shopping is the moment you decide to buy — the browsing, the comparing, the "add to cart". The bad part is everything after: the bill, the clutter, the buyer's remorse.
PretendBuy keeps the first part and deletes the second. Browse a catalog of the world's most ridiculous luxury items, "buy" them with virtual currency, collect them, and compete with other fantasy spenders. Nothing is ever shipped and DD has no cash value — it says so on every page, because that's the whole point.

The honest fine print
This is entertainment. Real money buys virtual currency; virtual currency buys nothing real. We cap daily top-ups, keep the daily spin free, and offer breaks and self-exclusion on request — see Responsible Play and the Entertainment Disclaimer.
