One risk of playing online backgammon is that your opponent may be using a backgammon program, a bot. These are very strong, similar to chess programs. Use of a program is considered cheating.

Many people who don't play assume that bots must be common. The reality has been that cheating with bots is quite rare on most sites, although some sites are better about detecting bots than others. Cheating is harder than it seems at first, and there is a high risk of being detected.

See the discussion in the Other Gambling Games forum. This issue has come up many times.
