Hi, there are quite a few backgammon sites available online: BGroom, Play65, GammonEmpire, PartyGammon, Snowie, etc. I have tried almost all of them.

The best seem to be BGroom and Snowie. Play65 they have a lot of people online, but a very bad RNG (random number generator). They have quite a lot of tournaments and events, the graphics is good, but, again, when you thow the dice you'll be disappointed, because such combinations never appear in real life backgammon.

Anyway try PartyGammon as well - it is worth trying...

But NEVER try worldgammon.com - at the first site looks really like a fishing site! SO if you ever do the error to make a deposit there, you can kiss your money good-bye! They close your account whenever they like, even if you have money on it and there is no fraud issue - it doesn't matter for them.

True that for 10 or 15€ nobody is goign to suit them, but people have the right to know what is happening there! Not mentioning their Customer Support - which is incredibly arrogant, bad and inefficient! So beware of them...

Re: Playing online

Unfortunately most if not all backgammon on-line sites cheat in favor of their preferred clients - newcomers, really bad players and in general players they do not want to lose. A strong player or winner who takes money out of their account will run into a string of losses like you can't believe!

Re: Playing online

I don't know about that - only playing for free to get practising on CasinoRip which is one of the backgammon for money sites. But we do get our own pet pig!

Re: Playing online

Don't play for money until you are confident of your skills. I tend to play on POGO.com is free. If you are there look me up name Kiloranbrae. As with many other sites there are cheats. Watch out for cheats using backgammon programmes to make their moves for them or leaving a timers unlimited. It is more exciting to play face 2 face but you need to keep playing different players too easy to get into bad habits by playing the same people over and over again.
