Casino Rip backgammon, that is powered by gameaccount, is a web site that doesn't focus exclusively on backgammon games, but on skill and chance games in general. So besides backgammon, there are games like multi-player-blackjack, poker dice domino and many more.

The weak part in most of these multi-gaming web sites are action and traffic. Normally, there are only a couple of hundreds of players online at peak time and the average skill level of the players is pretty high. If you like to play for high stakes, the commission will be as low as 1%, the lowest rake in net!

Personally, I always like to try games out for free before I make my first deposit just to know what the handling of the checkers is like. Here it might be challenging to find a play money game, of course, you have the option to create your own table and set any stakes, including play money.

Deposit Methods:

  • Mastercard
  • Neteller
  • Visa
  • Click2Pay
  • Solid Debit Card

Credit card and Solid Debit Card deposits are available worldwide, including players in the US.

Software:

Game Account backgammon software is very user-friendly, though the board design is very basic, see the screenshot on top. The software is strictly flash-based, so it requires no download and you can play the game instantly on any operating system, including Apple and Linux, but you must register and open a player's account even to enter the lobby. In addition to standard backgammon, it offers the backgammon variation hypergammon, where players start with only three checkers.

The lobby is very basic, but all important features are there, see the screenshot at the top. You can sort and filter the games and matches that are shown in the lobby.

The signup process is a fast and straightforward procedure.
