Playing Backgammon on Play65 is exactly the same as in real life, only you get to meet exciting people from all over the world and play against them for Real Money.
Before playing Backgammon for Real money, you need to deposit money into your account.
There are two ways to start playing for Real money after depositing money; joining an existing table or creating a table. In both ways there is a stake involved in the game and the winner takes everything and pays a small fee.

Commissions when playing for Real Money

Single Game (Money)
Commission is taken from the final win sum (the winner pays for both players)

Up to $20: 4%
Example: Joe and Alex play a single game with initial stake of $5. Alex won by gammon. $9.20 will be added to Alex’s balance and Joe’s balance will be deducted by $10. (commission is $0.4)

$20 up to $100: 3%

Over $100: 2%

Series Game (Match)
Commission is taken from the stake sum and adding 0.25% for each additional point in a game over 1. (the winner pays both)

Up to $20:
base commission (for 1 point): 3%, every point: +0.25%, max commission: 7%

Example: Diane and Julia play a Series (match) up to 3 points with stake of $10. Diane won the series 3-1.The commission for 3 points is base commission of 3%+2*0.25%=3.5% The commission from each player is $10*3.5%= $0.35. (the winner pays both their commissions)$9.30 will be added to Diane’s balance and Julia’s balance will be deducted by $10.

We encourage matches between 2 players with a similar rating level therefore:

Maximum $5 commission when both ratings of the players are over 1650.
Decrease of 50% in commissions when both ratings of the players are over 1700.
Decrease of 25% in commissions when the difference of rating is 50 or less.
