One free membership backgammon site began last year, and offers free play or online money games. You choose which you'd prefer. This online free and money games site gives you the chance to play in matches and tournaments, and earn a rating. Ratings are helpful if you'd like to play backgammon and other online money games with someone of equal or nearly equal skill, or even should you want to deliberately choose to play free against someone better to help advance your own skills. You find out the other members and players' ratings by asking the system "who is?" and then their online name.

Ratings generally fall between 1000 and 2000 points, and at first the backgammon game system will probably give you a rating of 1500 - smack dab in the middle - and then update that after each tournament, free or online money games - that you play. Ratings are based on the length of the match you played, the experience of yourself and all opponents and the differences in the ratings of you and the opponents at the time the online money games tournament began. At this backgammon site there are even tournaments that let you play for free - yes, no investment of your own - and still have the opportunity to win real money. Truly the best of both worlds in online money games! At this site you can watch a backgammon game being played by others and can even chat with the various backgammon players.
