Gammon Empire

Backgammon, as well as poker, can be played live or online. Unlike poker, which is a more mature online industry and features a variety of online poker rooms, backgammon servers are scarcer. While the first backgammon servers first emerged more than decade ago, there was little growth in the field until last year, when a new server was released.

GammonEmpire was launched in December of 2004 and introduced a new approach to backgammon online. Taking many positive elements from poker and utilizing them in a backgammon application, GammonEmpire became the first modern backgammon server with advanced features such as tournaments, signup bonus codes, backgammon school, multi-lingual and multi-currency support, state-of-the-art graphics and sound, ongoing promotions for existing players, and more.

GammonEmpire uses a standard lobby interface that has many similarities to poker room lobbies. This provides an easier introduction to the game for poker players who are used to playing online.
