What Users Are Saying

Hear from people who have used our platform for their cricket auctions

We used CricBid for our college cricket club auction and it was amazing! The power-ups made it so much more engaging than a simple spreadsheet auction. Everyone loved the meme awards at the end!

The admin controls are fantastic! I could easily add custom players, set budgets, and toggle features to suit our group. The AI teams were really helpful when we didn't have enough friends online.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about the CricBid platform

How many people can participate in a single auction?

CricBid supports auctions with up to 10 team owners (human participants) plus an unlimited number of AI-controlled teams. This makes it flexible for small friend groups or larger leagues.

Do I need technical knowledge to set up an auction?

Not at all! Our platform is designed to be user-friendly with an intuitive admin dashboard. You can set up a complete auction in minutes without any technical expertise.

Can I customize the player database?

Absolutely! You can create your own custom player database with names, roles, ratings, and base prices. You can also import players from a spreadsheet or use our pre-loaded templates of popular cricket players.

How do the power-ups work?

Power-ups add strategic elements to your auction. Each team gets a limited number of special abilities like Wildcard Bid (claim a player after timer ends), Steal Card (take a player by paying double), and Match-a-Bid (automatically match any bid on your watchlisted player). You can enable/disable these features in the admin settings.

Is there a mobile app available?

CricBid is a responsive web application that works perfectly on all devices including smartphones and tablets. While we don't have a dedicated mobile app yet, the platform is fully optimized for mobile browsers.

Can we pause and resume an auction later?

Yes! You can pause an auction at any time and resume it later. All player acquisitions, team budgets, and other data will be saved automatically, allowing you to continue exactly where you left off.

How smart are the AI/bot teams?

Our AI teams use sophisticated algorithms that can be set to different strategies (random, aggressive, role-focused, etc.). They make budget-aware decisions and can be surprisingly competitive! You can adjust their intelligence level in the settings.

What happens after the auction ends?

After the main auction, you can access detailed statistics, run a re-auction for unsold players, open a trading window between teams, and award XP points and achievements. All data can be exported for your records or fantasy league management.
