Playing Backgammon in the Dark

How much are you willing to pay to play online backgammon incognito, without dragging your reputation (if you have any) and the number that represents your level of skill, i.e. the rating points? 

Play65 newly launched dark room allows you to play online backgammon anonymously; instead of your famous or infamous username, a uniform "anonymous" will appear on the players’ names columns and the only exposed details would be the desired stake and limit, the game’s length, speed and score. Neither your rating points nor a flag that represents your homeland will be revealed. 

Play65 Dark Room - What is it good for? 

  • It reduces the rakes, since no commission is taken for the differences in rating points
  • It shortens the time it takes to select a game partner – you choose your opponent based on his/her suggested stake and limits.
  • You can play against world famous backgammon players without even knowing who they are…

Play65 Commissions in the Dark Room

Up to $50: 5.9% commission
Up to $100: 4.9% commission
More than $100: 3.9% commission

Remember that although the commissions are 1% higher than in regular rooms, the commission taken in regular rooms for the rating difference (ranges from increase of 50% with 100 rating points difference to increase of 200% with 300 points difference) evens things out.
