Worst Backgammon I have ever played and it's so plan to see it's completely rigged. Opponents throw doubles each and every time they're about to loose. It took me over 11 times to win when I first started playing this game and the wins are far and in between. It's a waste of time and energy. I want my life back I spent playing this.

If you enjoy manipulated dice where your opponent always rolls doubles or miraculously comes back from behind, or just happens to roll the exact dice needed to block you.... Then this game is for you! I'm sure if I spent money on this game, I'd be as lucky as my opponents. Since leaving previous negative review, I haven't won a game yet. As my opponent strangely seems to always roll the dice needed. Crazy!?

It's impossible to win sometimes. No matter how i play the opponent hits me and if I have an advantage the opponent recovers when bearing off. I lost like 10 in a row and counting which on physical board never happens. It's becoming frustrating which will lead to game deletion. Otherwise the game looks good and it's easy to play. The ads are annoying also of course but that's understandable

Terrible game. Every roll is strategic to perfectly combat any move you make. The rolls are entirely unfair, and rarely ever to your advantage. Theres no shortage of bots that play because no actual humans want to play this garbage. Then let's talk about the forced overlay ads that play after EVERY SINGLE GAME. You can't close them, or skip them, the only way to bypass them is to close your app and reopen it; unfortunately then you get somewhere between 1 and 5 more forced screen overlay ads.

I have been using this game app for months. Generally a good experience. I purchased 300k points yesterday for the first time. Since then, I haven't won even one game. Played at least a dozen games. Every time I get blocked in and then get back to back low rolls. I have been playing backgammon for 50 years and I'm an excellent player. Don't tell me it's not rigged. Those odds of losing back to back are impossible at my skill level. Just deleted the app.

Don't waste your time. I thought I finally found an honest game that's not rigged. I was wrong. If you have someone locked down and are about to win, it undoubtedly will give them the lowest percentage roll to escape and put you in a losing position. It happens all the time. I finally uninstalled it after it happened 3 times in 5 games. Not fun, especially when you play a strategic game. I'm not a robot, just someone who wanted to enjoy an honest game. Very dissapointing..

Just one time i would love to play a backgammon game that is equal for both sides on the dice rolling. Every game i have played the opponent will roll what ever they need to get off the wall and keep you on it. I am so fed up with the cheating the makers have done to prevent you from having a great experience playing backgammon online. This game sucks. Do not download it. Complete waste of time. πππππ

I had 4 home spots blocked and my opponent got out, I then had 5 spots blocked and they got out again both on their first roll, they had 2 spots blocked hit me and i couldn't get out. This game is so rigged. I can predict the rolls of the dice for my opponents when this game decides I'm not allowed to win and I'm right every single time. I've lost every single game but maybe 1 over the last 2 days. You're site SUCKS!!!!!!!!!

Horrible app! The game is very biased and will roll continuous doubles for the opponents in an effort to entice you to spend actual money. It's hard nowadays to find a game you can enjoy for free without constant reminders and adds to spend your hard earned money. I had to uninstall when all of this became pretty obvious. Sad as, other than that, the game was well designed.

I really like this game a lot but you can't compete when the opponent continually gets doubles! Losing more than I win, isn't fun! Just about ready to uninstall the game again. It's definitely not fair dice as they say!update- say what you want but I haven't played for a while and I think it's time to uninstall the game

I have played with this app at least couple of months, and when you reach a level, it does not allow you to play what you want, and it forces you to lose the game. It happened a lot of time, and when you toss the dice, it automatically plays the checkers without your control, and suddenly, you lose a game while you are winning by landslide. Waste of time. Do not download and spent time.

Good: Decent game and fun and easy to play online with others. Absolutely Unforgivable: Players often leave game when losing forcing winners to wait for an extended period of time for the game to end. Reporting users that do this does nothing because I've done it hundreds of times and it happens way too frequently. Managers of the game do nothing to resolve it.

This game stops you from moving if you don't want to move the one they want you to. It's getting worse by the day.. Also, three times in a row, I got cheated out of a turn or suddenly, the game doesn't know the difference between 5 and 6 or it thinks I can't count. Getting ready to uninstall this one and "LORD OFTHE BOARD". ITS GETTING TOO IRRItating! This comment is made months

Worst game ever. Lost 135 games straight because I roll something with a 1 most of the time while opponent rolls 4s and 6s. Also, opponent will almost always roll exactly what they need while I rarely do. Gave it one more chance and reinstalled. Starts out fine and dice seem pretty fair. Nothing has changed, Once they see you aren't spending real money, you will not win another game.

Started playing, bought some coins, did really well, then lost around 10 games in a row to lose all my chips. The dice probabilities seem off, especially doubles when someone is on the bar. After every game they advertise to buy chips. I think they change the algorithms to have you lose at key points so they can make money on you buying coins. They focus some much on getting you 2 buy chips, it would not surprise me too see some shaddy things going on to make you lose, so you buy more coins.

There is nothing honest about the rolls you get in this game. I have never seen anything like it. Its an absolute impossibility that the rolls are randomly generated, I have never seen so many doubles or exact rolls needed by an opponent in the more than 40 years I've been playing backgammon. I tried this app for a very long time and finally got so frustrated that I finally removed it. UPDATE!!! NOW THEY HAVE BOTS...LOL! WHY FIX THE DICE WHEN YOU CAN ADD BOTS...UNREAL.

"home of the fair roll" laughable. Only if you don't have a single or they don't need doubles to win. Every. Single. Time. Game play is great but the predictibility of the rolls are a joke. EDIT; Left a review and got a reply. Now, it's worse. Just finished a game where my opponent got 4, yes 4, doubles in a row. If you're opponent requests a double, just resign. That seems to be the key to getting the most redoculous rolls possible. Uninstalling this joke. Literally, go with any other app.

No way the dice are random. You can't tell me you rarely ever get double sixes but almost every time you have a piece knocked off and you're trying to get back on the board, then you get double sixes and can't use them. Also seems like any time someone is a ways down, they always manage to roll numerous sets of doubles so the game can catch you/them back up. Also don't like that ads auto download if you accidentally click them instead of taking you to the store. Seems scammy to me. Uninstalling

I really want to like this game. It looks great. I want to believe that the dice are randomly generated, but I just can't. I am experienced backgammon player, play the percentages, no undo risky moves unless forced. Cannot tell you the number of times an opponent's certain loss turned around on the exact, highly unlikely roll. UPDATE: I am done with this game. Dice are ridiculous. I have benefited occasionally, but everything I wrote above sticks. I think I'll start a BG club at the library.

Game is an obvious algorithm to keep you playing. After so many games it is very frustrating to know what the dice are going to roll. You don't really win or lose by luck or strategy. If you are about to win your opponent will start rolling doubles to catch up. Same you same if you are down. Nearly every game will end close. Fake to always make you think you have a chance. If you want to play based on skill this is not that game. If you have no skill this game is perfect for you.
