On-Line play - WARNING!
Most backgammon sites contain paid ads for commercial backgammon servers and
other various other services.
These servers skim a high percentage of your
stake, and there are so many complaints about their service, payout policy and
high charges that one wonders why people use them.
These high commissions make it almost impossible to win. Pokies anyone?
Not only that, many players cheat by
using computer software to assist, and by manipulating their ratings to appear
to be weaker than they really are.
But if you just want to play and winning money
is not the main objective, go for it!
For online play I recommend FIBS (www.fibs.com).
Our own server
is coming online soon.
