Playing backgammon for fun (virtual) money

Play and practice backgammon for fun and enhance your game skill.

Series (match play) and single (money game)

When playing a live match, there are two types of game modes:

Series (Match play) – a series of backgammon games between two players. It ends when one player wins by accumulating the agreed and set number of points. For each game, the number of points won is the doubling cube value multiplied by the win type (winning by a gammon is worth 2 points, winning by a backgammon is worth 3 points).

Single game – the normal style of competition, in which each backgammon game is played independently. For each game, the loser pays the winner the agreed initial sum multiplied by the value of the doubling cube and further multiplied by the winning type (two for a gammon or three for a backgammon).
