Hi buzzer

A backgammon expert amongst us Very Happy

We heard that online backgammon is growing in popularity. Some even think it will become as popular as poker! We thought we had better check it out so Ive played a few games and added some content here

It looks a lot of fun Very Happy

I'm trying to organise an OLBG backgammon tournament at the moment. Thought it could be fun and help people to learn about the game.

Most the sites I looked at charge a subsription.

Out of the ones which dont, the biggest site with the most players seems to be Play65. All they cover is backgamon. Its probably the place to be for a player like you - regular tournaments with big cash prizes.

MoneyGaming also cover backgammon along with many other skill games. I guess the players there wouldnt be quite so experienced?

Good luck Buzzer and let us know what you think of the sites and how you get along. Very Happy

Nice one karania - good luck Smile

Many people thought that backgammon would be the next poker and skill games not far behind - but it doesnt seem that either have really boomed.

Still - there are plenty of games on the two sites you mentioned to entertain those who enjoy it Smile

shall we start an OLBG backgammon tournament?

there looks like there's a few people who'd be up for it, not sure if there's anywhere where you can set up actual tournaments or not?

I haven't checked out any of these sites yet so can anybody tell me if you can set up poker style private tournaments?

If not we could just do individual games but run the league or tournament from here. a couple of quid per game with another pound maybe going into the overall champions prize fund

i played my first game of backgammon online for money today.

saw it available from the Party Poker folk so got in for a go for 50cents.

Firstly there were a whole load of extra rules and options that I'd never seen before and didn't really understand. These were optional extras.

Secondly all the games i played were on pretty short time limit per go and I found having taken too long meant i forefitted the game! a bit harsh i'd say, would be fairer to make you miss your turn. then again i guess sometimes it can prove better to miss your turn than have to play your go and put your pieces in dangerous positions.

you could play tournaments on there but i'm not sure if you could do private ones. i'll take a look later and get back with the info.
