Gaming online still Legal !

Filed Under Backgammon News

The Unlawful Internet Gaming Enforcement Act in the US has condemned online Poker and its players to an uncertain and slow dying. Although the actual game itself is not illegal, the processing of payment for the game and similar games of chance such as Roulette, Craps, Blackjack etc, is illegal, so if you can’t pay you can’t play. It is as simple as that. Online backgammonHence the death knell… but wait, what is that other ringing noise that can be heard? Mati Gross Affiliate Program Director of TC ADS has been hearing it for some time, only now it’s getting louder and louder. He describes it as “the sound of opportunity” becoming louder and louder with every ring.

Mati sees this as the sound that heralds the confirmation of the arrival of a game that has been creating quite a noise for some time. What is it? It is an alternative for the online gaming world, one that stimulates and excites both player and affiliates alike; it’s a game that has been ringing the changes for some time now, as more and more players learn to play in fun and real money games, it is an online game that does not fall under the category of a game of chance, a skill game that is totally legal online.

This is backgammon online, and it could well be the game that could save the online gaming business from complete collapse. Over a million registered players are now signed on to sites such as play65 site of the world’s biggest online backgammon room, a true success story of the game and its development.

Promoted and marketed by TC ADS based in Cyprus play65 has taken the lead in producing an online game that has changed the way people think about backgammon.

Mati comments, “Some of the first people to see the mass market opportunity of backgammon have been the TC ADS affiliates who between them have capitalized on the success of the game, introducing players from all over the world to play in real money big money tournaments”.

This growth has spurred on the possibilities of reaching even more audiences and PLAY65 now offers a comprehensive program that downloads into 17 different language variations, confirming the global appeal of the game” (To see the success of the TCADS affiliate program or to sign on to become one click here).

What Mati says, seems to be borne out by the action of some other companies who too have begun to appreciate the backgammon opportunity.

One company who themselves have suffered badly by the introduction of this law is Partygaming whose online Poker business is set to take a massive hit from the fallout of this law.

Yet PartyGaming is the company that has invested richly in backgammon offering the first One Million Dollar Prize in January 2007. This recognition has provided the sort of commitment that the game has warranted simply by its growth and success in converting new players and offering fresh impetus to existing ones.

In the same way that Poker has created a following of online players, so now backgammon provides a platform for continuity, however unlike games of chance, backgammon has another interesting characteristic it allows you to bet through the game, especially when doubling.

This betting option is another added benefit for gamers who wish to compete for the bigger money prizes by wagering on their skill. Until such a time that Poker can once again take its place online.

There is an alternative, an alternative that is legal, an alternative that offers players and organizations an opportunity to succeed. As Mati Gross states, Online Poker once the King of online games may now be dying, but backgammon is very much alive and is ready to take its place as the new Poker, long live the New King.”
