An attacking midfielder, Dack has described himself as adopting a "free role behind the two strikers in the final third to go and pick up the ball, get into good positions and create and score goals". Dack's manager at Gillingham between 2015 and 2017, Justin Edinburgh, described him as "the catalyst of [our] team...full of energy, he is tenacious, he has quality and he is a top player – definitely Championship quality", adding that he "probably covers more ground than any other player". Interviewed by Sky Sports in February 2016, Dack suggested that the model for his own style of play was former Chelsea and England international Frank Lampard. He also revealed that before committing to football he had undertaken trials to play cricket for Kent.

Dack was born in the London Borough of Greenwich, and attended Beths Grammar School in Bexley.

In 2019, Dack became engaged to former Love Island contestant Olivia Attwood. The couple had to delay their wedding for a second time in 2022 following Dack's second cruciate knee ligament injury. They were reported to have married on 3 June 2023. The couple separated in January 2026, revealing that they were never legally married, as the hotel where the ceremony took place did not have a license to carry out weddings and an appointment to complete the required paperwork at a registry office was cancelled. Dack was a childhood Manchester United fan.
