Backgammon is a classic board game for two players where the objective is to move all 15 of your checkers around the board and bear them off before your opponent does the same. Players take turns rolling two dice and moving their checkers according to the numbers rolled. Checkers move in opposite directions around the board, and you can hit your opponent's single checkers (blots) to send them to the bar, where they must re-enter before continuing play. The game combines strategy with a hint of chance, making it an exciting skill-based competition perfect for wagering.

The impact of gammon and backgammon wins depends on your game mode: Points matches: A gammon (winning when your opponent hasn't borne off any checkers) or backgammon (winning when your opponent still has checkers in your home board or on the bar) will affect the number of points awarded in the match, following traditional backgammon scoring rules. Gammon is 1 point extra, Backgammon is 2 points extra. Cash games (single point matches): On Backgammon Cash, gammon and backgammon wins do not affect the amount of money won or lost. You'll receive the standard payout regardless of the margin of victory, keeping cash games simple and straightforward.

The doubling cube adds an exciting strategic element to your matches whether you are playing backgammon for real money or virtual currency (Gold): Points matches: The doubling cube affects the number of points won in the match. When you offer a double, your opponent can either accept (doubling the points at stake) or decline (conceding the current point value). Cash games: The doubling cube increases the actual money wagered and won during the game. However, there are limits to how much can be doubled based on the available funds in each player's account. This ensures both players have sufficient balance to cover potential doubled stakes while maintaining the strategic excitement of cube play.

Connection issues are handled consistently to maintain fair play. If any player loses their internet connection during a match, the game timer will continue to run normally without pausing. The disconnected player must reconnect and make their move before their timer expires. If they cannot reconnect in time, they will automatically lose the game. This policy ensures matches proceed smoothly and prevents players from using disconnections as a stalling tactic.

Making deposits is simple and rewarding. Visit the "Bank" page within the app and select your desired deposit amount. Most deposits automatically earn you bonus cash on top of your deposited amount, giving you more value and extending your playing time right from the start.

Withdrawing your winnings is straightforward through the "Bank" page in the app. Please note our withdrawal policy: you can only withdraw actual winnings from games, not original deposit amounts that haven't been played, and bonus cash cannot be withdrawn under any circumstances.

Withdrawal processing times vary depending on several factors, but most withdrawals are completed within up to 3 business days. In some instances, particularly for verified accounts with established playing history, withdrawals may be processed immediately. We work continuously to minimize processing times while maintaining necessary security checks.

We keep our fee structure player-friendly. There are no fees charged for deposits, allowing you to add funds to your account without any additional costs. For withdrawals, there may be a small processing fee depending on the withdrawal method and amount. Any applicable fees will be clearly displayed before you confirm your withdrawal request.

Please carefully consider account closure, as this action results in forfeiture of all remaining funds in your account, including both deposited money and winnings. We recommend withdrawing any eligible winnings before requesting account closure. Once an account is closed, funds cannot be recovered.

The time constraints in real money lobbies on Backgammon Cash make it virtually impossible for players to cheat using backgammon-playing software or bots.

Yes, our sophisticated matchmaking system prioritizes pairing you with opponents of similar skill levels. This creates more competitive, enjoyable matches while ensuring fair competition. The system considers your current ranking and playing history to find the most appropriate opponents available in your chosen lobby.

Backgammon Cash uses a standard ELO rating system, the same mathematical framework used in chess and other competitive games. Your rank is calculated based on your win-loss record, but more importantly, it considers the skill level of opponents you've beaten and lost to. Defeating higher-ranked opponents increases your rating more than beating lower-ranked players, while losses to weaker opponents have a greater negative impact than losses to stronger players.

Our matchmaking notification system solves this common problem. Instead of waiting in the lobby, set up notifications that alert you when another player is searching in your preferred lobby. This allows you to exit the lobby and use other parts of the app or your phone while waiting. You'll receive an immediate notification when an opponent becomes available, making the matching process much more convenient.

Active lobbies are easy to identify through our visual indicator system. Look for the green dot next to lobby names, which shows real-time activity indicating that players are currently in matches or actively searching for opponents in that particular lobby. This helps you choose the most active lobbies for faster matchmaking.

Bonus cash serves as entry fee credit for real money games, providing extra value and extended playing time. You can use bonus cash exactly like deposited funds to enter matches, but it cannot be withdrawn as cash. Important note: all bonus cash in your account will be forfeited when you initiate any withdrawal, so plan your gameplay accordingly to maximize the value of your bonus funds.

Gold serves as our virtual currency for practice games and special opportunities. Beyond playing risk-free matches against other players, Gold provides a unique pathway to real money play. When you accumulate sufficient Gold, you can use it to enter special games that award bonus cash when won, effectively converting your virtual currency success into real money playing opportunities.
