Backgammon for Money Online

GammonEmpire Backgammon Software

GammonEmpire backgammon software offers two play modes: play money and real money. The play money mode is designed for new players who want to practice their play and enhance their skills before moving up to play backgammon for real money. The game rules are exactly the same when playing backgammon for fun or for real money.

Online Backgammon for Real Money

Playing backgammon online using GammonEmpire software is the same as in real life, except you get more opportunities to play real money backgammon against people from all over the world at your own terms. To start playing backgammon for real money, first you need to make a deposit into your account using one of the many deposit options available on GammonEmpire. Then, you can choose between joining an existing table that meets with your game terms (length, stake, limit, speed, etc) and creating a new table and setting your own terms. In both ways, the two competitors must agree on the stake involved in the game and the winner takes everything and pays a small fee.

Disconnections and Resuming Games

If you get disconnected unintentionally in the middle of the backgammon game, you will have 5 minutes to reconnect and resume the game, simply by logging back in. The disconnected game will be resumed automatically during the next 5 minutes. If you do not return within 5 minutes, the game will be analyzed by a backgammon software and the money will be split according to its calculations.

GammonEmpire Commissions

GammonEmpire takes a small commission from the final sum of each backgammon game or match, so the winner pays for both players.
