I will start the article by presenting the most important characteristics of an online backgammon portal. There are a few things which apply to the good portals, let us now talk about them. The first common characteristic is that every online backgammon portal offers you the option of playing backgammon online. They might do it in two separate ways: you might have to download and install their software in order to play, but some of the portals also offer a flash version of the game, which means that you do not have to download or install anything, you can directly play from your browser. Before you choose the flash version, you should know that the downloadable software has a few advantages: the graphics are much better; you have more options if you choose to download. I will discuss these options a few lines later. If you want to play for real money, you will have to create an account on the backgammon portal you chose, fund the account with money and you can start playing. But pay attention before you sign-up to an online backgammon portal, you should compare them first! Most of them offer a sign-up bonus; check the amount of the bonus before you sign-up. There are a few other things you should look for: they should have 24/7 customer support and the basic information should be on a visible spot on the homepage. What is this basic information? You should be able to find easily the Privacy Policy and the Terms and Conditions section. Also, you should read both sections carefully, because this way you will find out information on how the online backgammon portal works, is it registered or in how any days do they send your winnings. I strongly advise you to read these sections before you sign-up to any of the backgammon portals, this way you will be able to avoid the fake ones.
Now you know the basics and you will be able to avoid any scams. Let us continue with the presentation of three popular online backgammon portals.
Backgammon Masters is one of the most popular online backgammon portals. On their homepage you will be able to find everything about backgammon: starting from the rules to tips and tricks. You can also read some articles related to the game and you can socialize and discuss on their forum. They even give you a list of backgammon servers, if you choose any of the servers listed on the site, you should feel safe, they are all safe and secure. Besides reading and talking on the forum, you can play backgammon on their website too. Backgammon Masters do not offer a flash version of the game, so you will have to download and install their software. But this fact should not stop you, because you will have a great experience while you play!
Another very good backgammon portal is Gammon Empire. This online backgammon portal is similar to the one presented above. You can find a lot of information about backgammon, but gammon Empire uses different tags than Backgammon Masters. Instead of the rules they call it ‘Backgammon School’. This online backgammon portal has something in addition compared to the one described above: it holds tournaments, and you can easily find the dates of tournaments on the homepage. So if you are interested in entering backgammon tournaments, this portal might be the one for you! You will never have to wait, because the portal has 15.000 members from all around the world, so you will find someone who will play against you every single time you would like to play.
The last online backgammon portal I will present has a name which says everything about it: Online Backgammon. Just like in the other two portals, it has everything you might be interested in when it comes to backgammon: forum, articles, news, reviews, tournaments and downloadable backgammon software. They even offer a $ 50.000 worth pot for the winner of their tournament. So if you are an experienced player, you should think about entering their tournament, because what could be more fun than playing your favorite game and winning money in the mean time?
Besides these three online backgammon portals you can find many-many more, but it was impossible for me to list them all. I will tell you a number instead: if you type the words ‘online backgammon’ into a search engine, you will get more than 700.000 results. So you can see that your possibilities are almost unlimited when you want to play online backgammon. It only depends on you which portal and which software seems better to you. The main idea is that you should not worry, if you do not like the experience offered by one of the portals, you can easily choose another online backgammon portal! Good luck playing! |
