Specifically, I’ve had games where the opponent’s game timer counted down to zero, which SHOULD cause the opponent to lose the match. But instead the program awards the win to the opponent... even though it was THEIR timer that ran out of time. I reported this to the game developer, along with screenshots to evidence what happened. I believe they will look into this and fix it. It needs to be fixed because real money is on the line in these games. ### 3/5 — Help *2019-11-18, version 8.09* I sent a message on the support option and got undeliverable, just need some guidance. How do you switch the order of the dice when you would rather choose the 2nd dice first instead of the 1st? For example if your captured and 1 and 5 is open with option to capture them. I have not yet figured out how to choose which dice to pick and have had the chance to capture them with five but was forced to choose five out of my capture. Please help. I have not received any feedback and has cost me multiple games and my opponent probably laughed at my choice. Long story short, how do you switch your first and second move? ### 5/5 — I actually earned money *2019-06-28, version 8.09* I though this was fake like all other apps but when I tried it I got 1 dollar yay Try it ### 5/5 — Great App And Good Reviews! *2019-06-27, version 8.09* Hi I’m Samira, I am glad that you have made this app! it has helped me with how bored I’ve become..Everytime my parents leave me home alone I would usually play this a lot! It is a great app which so you should make better updates..Thank you to the developers for making this app! Keep it going!😁 ### 5/5 — Omg *2019-06-27, version 8.09* Best way of going with my friends in a house and I’m a good friend of my gamer friend who I hate to be with my friend I play with him all the time love the game love the fact that you play with friends ### 5/5 — This is exactly what i was looking for! Thanks! *2019-06-20, version 8.09* Bug free experience which is a very important point when playing for for money. ### 5/5 — Ten times WOW! *2019-06-19, version 8.09* I have played this game for a while and it left a very positive feeling for me so i would certainly recommend it to anyone. ### 5/5 — perfectly executed backgammon app! *2019-06-19, version 8.09* Very charming and relaxing game to play when you have a few minutes in between daily chores and work. thanks! ### 3/5 — I enjoy it but it is a scam *2019-06-11, version 8.09* I play this app for dimes. There are a number of robots that magically and brutally defeat you, and do not answer questions except by saying Thanks!, but sometimes you encounter human beings. It js true that 80% of the time you play the sane people. Still its a good distraction until a non scam app comes up. I would never play for larger amounts. Once I put 20$ and got wiped out in minutes, whereas my dimes las for months and numerous games daily ### 5/5 — Great look and feel! *2019-03-30, version 8.09* It is a very impressive game and seems to have a big community playing since the opponet searching is quick almost for every time of day. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Good if you like Bots and freezing *2022-03-09, version 8.09* Game freezes a lot and doesn’t reconnect resulting in you losing your money. I’ve complained and they just say it’s happening on my end and they aren’t responsible. It’s funny too, that the freezing only seems to happen to me when I’m playing for more than the minimum amounts. I would say at least half of the time you are playing against Bots. My advice would be to turn and run. ### 1/5 — Terrible App - Huge Scam *2020-04-19, version 8.09* This is an absolutely awful app! Constant issues with glitches and kicking u out of the game. Inevitably it will always happen after u double someone up with more money on the game. Do not waste ur money. Customer service acts like they are doing u a huge favor refunding any money. While it’s about the only game out there to play for real money, it is not worth it unless u want to lose ur money. Stay away! ### 1/5 — Great if you like playing against robots with magic dices *2020-04-09, version 8.09* Amazing how some opponents magically can hit the required numbers time and time again - I am recently OK with my statistics and while you sometimes have a good or bad run I wish I had that kind of luck!!! New update - app simply steal your money balance decrease as if games are lost even when you reject doubles or cancel request for games when no opponents are found. I got a nice but useless answer from a support person who I wish is looking for another job as he seem too nice to work for a scam company ### 1/5 — SCAM ALERT!! *2020-04-06, version 8.09* When you try to cash out you will receive automated emails. When you send your verification documents they send you a conformation email stating the funds have been transferred to your PayPal account. But it's a lie. Secondly, games are dropping more than half the time. When that happens you will lose your bet. Also, don't bother calling customer service in milpitas ca. The number doesn't exist. As a previously ranked #367 in the world backgammon player I expected a lot more from this game. ### 1/5 — Total garbage app *2020-02-28, version 8.09* Interface is awful who ever is giving this app 5 stars is crazy. Game play seems rigged opponent always catches exactly every time to beat you. App crashes constantly and support acts like there doing you a favor by refunding your money blaming your internet connection “Come on Man” please. It’s your lousy app that’s crashing. Spend a little bit of that money your rapping from your customers and upgrade everything. You have been deleted. Have a nice day. ### 1/5 — Con Game CAUTION!!!! *2020-01-09, version 8.09* This app #cheats people and has cheats that allow opponents to win without making moves. Customer support is non existent. I do not recommend this game. Its a complete ripoff. Slow and methodical. Its AI component even has cheats built in to improve the AI’s chances the more you raise the stakes. Im a good player and I still expect to lose numerous times on a chance game like this. But this app is rigged and should be banned. #applesupport ### 1/5 — SCAM! Do not download *2019-09-02, version 8.09* This game has stolen my money. So many glitches that it causes you to time out and steals your money. The last game I hit the double button and it shows the bar waiting for opponent to accept, then my play clock starts going down even though the double window says waiting for opponent. So instead of winning the game I was already far ahead, it makes me lose even though it would not allow me to move or do anything. I am using a brand new iPhone X and high speed WiFi, so no reason this should happen ( and happens every time I use this garbage app) I am starting to think there are no actual opponents and it just steals your money. Even with auto roll selected it will wait until all of your time bar is almost gone before it finally rolls and let’s u move, giving u just seconds or even using up the 60 second total delay before it makes u forfeit. STAY AWAY - I have played many BG apps and never had any problems like this. BE WARNED ### 1/5 — DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY *2019-07-24, version 8.09* When I first downloaded this app I thought it was great. Even though the game froze and I lost my money I thought that if I reported the problem gamytech would review and credit me the funds. After playing for a couple weeks the game has froze over 5 or 6 times and I have lost money. I have emailed them several times and have never received a response from them. This is extremely poor service when you have real money on the line. it is not a connectivity issue so I should have been refunded , But to not even get a reply after numerous attempts to contact them is ridiculous. DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY on this app. ### 1/5 — I Can’t do anything *2019-07-09, version 8.09* I have to get an email address and password I have email, but don’t know my password😾😾😾👿👿👿 but it’s not like I actually want to play it that much but even though I was doing it for robux still (robux from Roblox) btw no offense to the game makers (you can friend me on Roblox at Unicornkittie707) Bye! (Edit) Also I’m 8 so I can’t play it either way ### 1/5 — Great until it FREEZES *2019-07-02, version 8.09* I really was enjoying this game. I love backgammon, and when you add the fun of a little bit of betting, it gets that much more enjoyable. However, this game has a fatal flaw. It is constantly freezing during the game play and not letting me finish my turn. I have now lost more than 5 games this way and most of my money! And what kills me even more, i was WINNING MOST OF THOSE GAMES!! I have submitted for help multiple times, but have gotten nothing in return. All I want is to have the money I lost back and to be able to play without the crashing. I keep thinking that someone is going to reach out, or even update the game. Nothing. Shame on you guys. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Cool app *2019-10-27, version 8.09* I think this is a smart way to start your own business, highly recommend..
