Backgammon Cash co-founders Jonathan and Matt Hakimi recently joined Alex Eshagian to discuss the origins of the platform, the technical infrastructure behind fair competitive play, and the vision for real-money backgammon's future.
The conversation explores how two first-generation Iranian Americans from Los Angeles identified a gap in the mobile backgammon market and spent months building the trust systems necessary for legitimate real-money competition. Topics include the World Backgammon Federation's certification process for the platform's random number generator, the partnership with 5POINT for professional anti-cheat monitoring, and the recently launched gammon game mode that addresses one of backgammon's most complex payout scenarios.
The interview also covers Backgammon Cash's expansion plans beyond the United States and upcoming features designed to enhance competitive play and help players improve their skills.
