FAQ
Before the first player.
What is CricBidder?
A cricket auction you can play free, run for your own tournament, or watch live. One engine. No install.
Is it betting, fantasy or real money?
No. Teams bid with a purse the organizer sets. That purse is an auction budget, not money. You only pay CricBidder for the auction package you run.
Can managers bid from a phone?
Yes. The war room is built for phones: current player, current bid, timer, bid or pass, purse and squad on one screen.
Do spectators need an account?
No. Share the public live link. It works on a phone, a laptop or the projector in the hall.
Do I need to install anything?
No. CricBidder runs in the browser. Managers on phones, the auctioneer on a laptop or tablet.
Do achievements or reactions change who gets a player?
Never. The engine alone decides bid validity, purse, timer and who a player is sold to. The fun sits on top.
