1. Nature of the Platform

CricBid provides tools for:

• Cricket tournament creation, scheduling, and administration.
• Private player draft sessions where team managers allocate virtual budget points to select players for their cricket teams (analogous to the IPL Player Auction conducted by the BCCI for team-building purposes).
• Ball-by-ball live match scoring and analytics.
• Team management, player registration, and public tournament pages.

The player draft is an internal, organisational process used to assign players to cricket teams within a private tournament. It does not involve wagering, staking money on sporting outcomes, or any element of gambling as defined under the Public Gambling Act, 1867 or any state gambling legislation in India.

3. Subscription Fees

Subscription fees charged by CricBid are tournament participation fees and software subscription fees for access to the CricBid sports-management platform. These fees are charged for software access only and are not entry fees for any contest, prize pool, game of chance, or wagering event. No money wagered or staked on sporting outcomes is involved at any point.
