Jhd

The dice are NOT random!!! I’ve dropped 10k points in one session playing 400 point games because dice are set to stop any chance of winning. This is literally playing the dice. Within first 2-3 rolls you know who will win. Even if you win it’s because the dice decided to let you every once in a while. You rarely get opening play. Great app EXCEPT the dice rolls suck and are DEFINITELY NOT RAMDOM! Very very predictable

What supposed an enjoyable game is a source of stress rather than entertainment.

This game feels designed to manipulate players rather than provide a fair gaming experience. In my experience, the matchmaking and game outcomes often seem intended to pressure players into spending money. After winning for a while, I repeatedly encountered long losing streaks that appeared unnatural.

The game became more frustrating than enjoyable and created unnecessary stress. I understand that losing is part of backgammon, but the overall experience made me feel that monetization was prioritized over fair play.

I cannot recommend this game to anyone looking for a relaxing and fair backgammon experience, many many games are best than this one.

Enjoyable, however…

I have played this game at least once per day for the past year or so.I have noticed that when I get rolls that allow me to capture the opposing player’s piece more than once per game, I can bet that I’ll lose the game. The dice will be sure that I have only one move that allows my opponent to knock me off, and I can’t get back on the board. It’s a rigged game, and not random at all. Additionally, the “side game”, where you have to open the treasure chest and avoid a bomb have gotten more expensive! We used to get 5 gems when we opened the correct gem chest, now we just get 2 gems. It takes 20 to continue the game after locating a bomb! I can see where they may use this as a money-maker, as people will buy the gems, but I will probably stop playing that side game if this continues, It’s not fun anymore. As soon as the bomb goes off, I stop the game.

Gammon

I been a long time user of the app and have enjoyed it. I have been loyal and paid for many coins over the years but I am really frustrated that when I win Gammon or backgammon I never and I mean never get awarded 2x or 3x but when I lose it always gets taken out of my account. It is clearly completely rigged and the developer do what ever they can to make you spend more money. When I have reached out to customer service they explain to me how backgammon works. lol thanks I have been playing my entire life stop gaslighting me and ripping me off.

Scammers

Worst game by far on the net. Bunch of liars and thieves. Game should be removed by Apple for fraud

RIGGED!

Stupidly obvious how rigged this game is

Great Game

It's the best backgammon version I've found. I do t pay so I do have to watch some adds but it's all good and nothing bothersome. A+

Ads ads

Everywhere ads, accidently i touch ads and done 3 minutes ads and cant close it. And too much screen coming for trying to push for buy coin or someting!

You win and lose coins

You play a game with an 8000 entry fee and win 4600. The app takes coins for itself. So the more you play, the more it spends your money. It's an app scam.

Rigged

I came back to playing this game after a year and it’s gotten worse. Isn’t just convenient how the opponent ALWAYS get the right amount on the dice to hit my pieces and comeback in the game with the first try whereas when it comes to me it’ll never give me the right amount to hit their piece and trying to come back in the game is even WORSE it takes ages like it does it on purpose to the point where there will be four open spaces and every time the dice will show the numbers of the to occupied spots.

Thieving Cheating mongrels

Rigged

Absolutely the most rigged backgammon app. Anyone who spends their own money on this worthless app does not honor their earnings.

Breach of privacy

I am deeply concerned that my review of this fraudulent application was deleted. The app's own privacy policy openly states that they track and monitor user activity. By blocking my review, Apple is preventing consumers from being warned about serious privacy risks.

Lord of the Board

This developer of LOTB cheats with gleeful abandon.

Glitches

I lost prob close to 500k coins because of constant glitches in this app it’s ridiculous

Rigged Game

Dice rigged not random

Rip off

Seems like I only play with bots especially when doubling bets. Only winning when playing baby amounts. 98% of the time the bets are doubled, all of the advantages go to the other “player”. Game just wants me to buy more coins to keep playing. No thanks.
