[Resolved]  Jeetle.in — The site is performing gambling - unethical activity

Dear Friends,
The note written here is not a complaint, but just an effort to make you aware that though jeetle.in claims to be an auction site, in reality, it is performing a money circulation scheme which is inspirit illegal. The framework of an auction game that they have come up is a gamble, where they charge the betting amount to all the people participating in the game through the bid fee. The game which they declare is a reverse auction is nothing but just a criterion which is as random as selection of the winner from the pool of people participating into it.
On most of the items under auction, the company is accumulating much more money than the price of item under auction in form of bid fee. I believe that the company has very smartly found a way of circumventing the law (which I am not sure if there is any that avoids gambling in India) by charging the administrative fees instead of gambling directly with the money. Since the company always makes much more money, there is no way a person will be able to recover his bidding fee even if he keeps on playing this game for long.
To have a more concrete argument, let me quote a bid/auction listed on jeetle.in . The item under auction is Honda Jazz. The MRP of this car as listed on the website is Rs 6,80,000. Total bids required for the auction of this vehicle are 1,00,000 with a bidding fees of Rs 10. Which means that the company will accumulate a total of 10 lacs out of which it will payoff 6.8 lacs and pocket a difference of 3.2 lacs as their own profit.
If we think rationally, then this is even worse than gambling where the profit kept by the company facilitating bets typically keeps a profit in a range if 2-5% and remaining amount is disbursed as the profit for the winner. Jeetle, on the other hand, keeps an handsome amount in the range of 30-40% as its own profit, which is indicated in the bid of Honda Jazz. Hence, the chances of winning in jeetle are already reduced by 30-40% (the amount of profit they are keeping).
Further, there is no transparency on the no of bids received for an item. And also on the winner of that item. Lets assume that for a particular item, if the company receives less number of bids which are insufficient to cover the cost of item itself, there is no way to figure out to whom the product is awarded. It is very much possible that either the company doesn't even give that product to anyone by not disclosing the winner of the item or the company might give it to one of their own person from whom they can receive a declaration that he received the auctioned item by paying him a nominal amount.
In light of above, this is a sincere request for all the people participating into auction on jeetle to give it a second thought because what, on the face, appears to be a great concept might not be as rosy as we expect if analyze it from a critical angle.

Actually what you want?
I think unless we take immediate action these people will make huge amounts of profit. Is gambling illegal?. Can we report this to Cyber Crime Branch -CID.

Has this site taken necessary licenses for gambling?.

Why they are not giving the name and address of the site owner and telephone no. Simply they say J9 Ventures. The website of J9 ventures does not give any address and gives invalid phone no.

Has anyone investigated this ?

Who is the person deciding the winner? What is the authenticity of this process and this JEETLE?

So many fellows can say they won and their brothers won etc. But what is the reason for jeetle not giving any contact details, owners name etc.?
Many people have ample time to spend on the site though they don't have bit knowledge of anything. mesquiteice---is one of them i think...pls. go to their contact us form over their they have given their customer care number...about website...pls go to hsitory of the company ...you will not...

I don't know people but these kind of people have ample wastage time to spread the rumors and all. Jeetle website clearly says about the Reverse Auction site...then how it is gambling site...God knows...anyways...i have played on this and its mixed reaction, .
My deposit amount of Rs 300 not available to bid
Jeetle is founded by J9 Ventures. Now, look at the post below and see who has posted this.

I'm sure these guys are real looters, liars and what not...!!!

In similar lines, I think sonu000777 is one of their employees.
Friends the real auction fraud in jeetle is :
AT THE CLOSING TIME OF THE BID THEIR EMPLOYEES WILL SEE THE BIDS HAVING QUOTED WITH:
*UNIQUE & LOWEST (or)
* UNIQUE BUT NOT LOWEST
AND PLACE THEIR BID ON THE SAME AMOUNT.SO THAT EVERYONE'S BID WILL AUTOMATICALLY BECOMES "NOT UNIQUE"


THIS IS REALLY A FRAUD GAME.

MY CLARIFICATION FOR SOME COMPLAINTS:
Q) 10000 BIDS SO 10000*9= 90000 but giving the prize worth 6000.
Ans: firstly u should know its just a business. so its fair in business.


Q) Amount deposited but not credited.
Ans:Some times it may get delayed due to techical reasons. but no problem u can challenge them for the amount and we can make them to refund the money or it can be credited to your account in jeetle.. so its not a problem.
Hey Srikanthgod...i think ur right but jst tell me one thing that r u expelled from Jeetle or what ...that u know about the number of bid placed and their employees are bidding the bid. Becoze i[censored] know the bids placed then this type of complaints is only be made by the person who are expelled from the organization and knows abt this otherwise its miss-leading news.
Sir, I have experienced manything in jeetle and lost so much. On 3rd october 2013, auction held for 50000 bid points. When My bid was in between .35 to .45, and some of them were unique but not lowest, the unique lowest bidder was ROHBUGS, He was lowest bidder till closing auction. But the winning bid was 3.04..How was it possible?. O.k another day I was the lowest unique bidder till auction closing, but the winner was someone else. Now what I concludes this with that no one can win in Jeetle and the winners willl be themselves only. If any body knows how to move this kind of, all issues on jeetle to the government investigation agency, I will be grateful to them.
