Default Re: Backgammon online

I like the idea of playing Backgammon online for money, but isn't it just too easy to cheat?

This is a common suggestion. It has been discussed before.

The short answer is that

[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Detecting cheating is relatively easy. If you cheat enough to get an advantage, your serious opponents are likely to detect this and complain to the site with convincing evidence, and the site may detect you even before there are any complaints.
