Great Game

Love playing this classic game. Payouts are legit and fast. Dice are fair. Had one issue where I lost internet connection and closed the app. I restored my connection and tried to reconnect to my game in progress only to find out that my game was lost and forfeited. That was my mistake. I sent an email about thiss issue and the support team was fast and courteous with their reply to not close the app during game play or you forfeit the game. They are however working on this small issue. I highly recommend playing here.

Good custmer Service

Honestly, I had a great experience with this backgammon app! At first, I tried to verify my account, and I thought nobody was answering me. Later, I realized their messages had gone to my spam folder. I was already starting to think it might be a scam, but the next day the owner personally reached out to me and even called me to help resolve everything. He helped me verify my account and get my winnings back. I really appreciate the personal attention and the fact that he took the time to help me himself. That kind of customer service means a lot! Thanks again for your help and professionalism. Highly recommend! 👏❤

Best App!

I’ve played every back in an app on the App Store and online, but this one takes the crown! I love grinding on the gold games and when I’m feeling up for it, I play the Cash games which no other app has. The support team is amazing. The interface is great and I love that I can withdraw my money whenever I want. thank you!

Thank you Arash !! Glad you are having fun, we are excited for you to see all the new updates coming !

Ups!

I’m an experienced backgammon player and have even placed first in a tournament in my home country, so I fully understand that luck and dice variance are a major part of the game.

However, my experience with this app changed dramatically after I successfully withdrew money. Since then, I’ve noticed an extremely suspicious pattern: in many games where I was clearly ahead and close to winning, my opponents repeatedly rolled doubles or exactly the rolls they needed, often several times in a row.

I understand that unlikely rolls happen in backgammon. But when the same pattern keeps happening over dozens of games—especially after a withdrawal—it becomes very difficult to believe that it is simply normal variance.

From my experience, it feels like players who win and withdraw money are being penalized afterward. I can’t prove how the system determines the dice, but the change in my results after withdrawing was obvious enough that I no longer trust the fairness of the game.

If you are playing for real money, I strongly recommend paying close attention to your results before and after making a withdrawal.

Hi - thanks for the details about your experience, it is helpful in diagnosing your situation. Unfortunately, what you're describing is a made-up story in your head that "we don't want you to win". Let me ask you this - what do you think we stand to gain from altering the dice? Our fee is the same regardless of who wins because we our only revenue is our service fees. Your entry fee went to another real person who can withdraw that money just as if you would have. It makes no difference to us who wins. It sounds like you are a logical person, based on your writeup, so I hope you consider the facts I've mentioned above and if you'd like to chat with us then we are available via email at team@backgammon-cash.com. If you are truly a "tournament winning backgammon player" then the variance will even out and you'll come out on top as many of our top players have already.

Hail Backgammon Cash!

I have been playing on this platform for about 6 weeks and I really enjoy the experience. I share with colleagues and online platforms. Kudos!

Finally

I have been playing backgammon apps for years and I can’t even discuss how much I have spent on them. It is really embarrassing. As a result of this app, I have deleted Lord of the Board and am so glad to be rid of it and its bots and unfair rolls. This app is such a refreshing change of pace. No crazy adds to get through every time you open the app. I also thought I was pretty decent, but LOFB is designed so that you can never really get ahead. I deposited $20 to get started a couple of weeks ago and my balance is now over $120. I’m sure I’ll hit a rough patch and go down some, but the games feel so much fairer.
The only downside is that it sometimes takes a while to find a game. That problem is going to solve itself as more and more people find out how awesome this app is. Download this immediately and delete those money grubbing backgammon apps.

Thank you so much for the kind words, it really means a lot! We promise to continue improving the app regularly. Love to hear that you are having fun and getting better at backgammon. Cheers to more wins!

Fun Game with Excellent Customer Service

This is a fun and legitimate game for anyone who enjoys backgammon, especially experienced and competitive players. The customer service is excellent, they are responsive and genuinely make every effort to help their customers and provide the best possible experience.

I strongly recommend reading and fully understanding all the game rules before playing, particularly when real money is involved. If you are a beginner, start by learning the rules and practicing until you feel completely comfortable and confident. After that, you can consider playing the cash games.

Overall, it’s a great backgammon app with a professional and caring customer-support team.

Good Game

It’s important to preserve the core values that make this game enjoyable and fair. Keep it with no ads I did not have questionable dice outcomes that made the app feel manipulated and never took away from the experience. Keep it fair, balanced, and player-focused.

Only Backgammon app with no bots or shenanigans

Real players, real dice, no bots! What else can you ask for? Very good app and keeps getting better.

Another Scam

Only idiots think this is real! This is more like gambling since you must first purchase money with money! A 4.2 rating doesn’t mean it’s good or legitimate! Beware!

The dice are absolutely not fair as they claim

I have been playing backgammon for over 20 years. Seeing some good reviews, I gave this app a try. Interestingly, as a lot of you all out there also confirm via your reviewers, initially, you will see amazing dice rolling back to back. After they get your trust and you take the stakes up, you see wreck train entering the room. You will bump into really clueless players who will make the most random and counterintuitive moves - yet they will consistently roll the perfect dice to frame you. When I say consistently, I do really mean over 10-15 games.
I see the owners of the app keep referring to their code. Having a pice a fair code somewhere does not in any shape of form prove that’s actually running in the app. Furthermore, any mediocre developer knows that they always have hooks in place to alter game state on demand - whether it’s for testing or for any other reason.
If you are here to chill with free gold, good luck. However, do not fall into their trap.
You don’t even need to have played gammon for over 20 years like myself to catch extremely skewed dice rolls over and over and over.
Stay safe.

PS: if you play with “Master”s, you will quickly notice how they are not the brightest players yet their dice is full of doubles such as 6s, 4s etc. At this point, I will call them out as a big SCAM. Just stay away.

Scam game

This game is designed for you to lose money. Opponent is losing big and gets three sets of pairs to win. What are the odds?

Dice seam sketchy

It seems when I’m out playing a player and they only have one possible role that they could get to win the game, It always happens. I have just completed a losing streak, taking pretty much all of the money away that I have won. I have never had a losing streak of such magnitude. Every one of those games was lost to a lucky role at the very end of the game. That role was enough to change the outcome of the game. This needs to be addressed before I continue playing on this platform.

Fishy

Seems when start to win all of a sudden a player comes in and doubles you and rolls doubles 6 it’s very odd… numerous times be careful cash out!!!

Addictive, Smooth & Actually Fun 🎲

The games are fast, competitive, and the app feels super smooth. Perfect mix of strategy and excitement — easy to jump in and hard to put down. Highly recommend!

Very honest app but a couple questions

Very honest app! No bots! No fake players that I can tell. Highest rating! Question: How do I transfer account from iPhone to iPad? Also I don't have Apple email app so clicking support does nothing :(

Response from developer

Number 1 Backgammon app!

So much fun to play. I love it. Great app!!!

Scam be aware

Totally scam stay away from them

Bot player

There are bots in this game. They seem to get special dice. For example, PrimeShaker23. If you play against this player, you’ll realize you’re actually playing against a bot.

Been playing for a bit

I’ve been playing for quite a while. Backgammon and this version is actually pretty good. I like the feature where I can actually play against other players since they’re usually had a lower level than me kind of feels like I’m still in their money but overall a good game keep it up.
