About Us

For professional players and real-world tournament owners, JackGammon doubles as a fund-raising platform. Raise funds directly through gameplay, own and run your own branded tournament with a rake and prize structure you control, and place sponsor ads on the boards your players use — turning every match into a revenue stream for your club, cause, or career.

JackGammon is built to be the best place online to play backgammon — free to play, fully customisable, and backed by a tournament system that doesn't force every event into the same rigid mould.

Free to Play

JackGammon costs nothing to play. Take on real opponents or bots, at your own pace, with no download required.

Customisation

• Board designs — choose from a range of board styles for any match you create.
• Suggest a board design — got an idea for a new look? Suggest it and it could be added for everyone to use.
• Place ads on boards — boards can carry advertising, opening the door for sponsors and creators alike.

Tournaments

• Non-restrictive sizing — tournaments aren't locked to the usual 4/8/16/32-player brackets. Run a tournament at whatever size makes sense.
• Open-ended prizes — prize pools scale with the field. As an example, 1,000 players at a $100 buy-in builds a $100,000 prize pool.
• Tournament ownership — create and own your own tournament, and set your own rake and prize structure.
• Brand your tournament — put your own name or sponsor behind the tournament you run.
• Satellite tournaments — win a tournament to win your seat in a bigger one, instead of paying the buy-in outright.
• Bankroll tournaments — free to enter, with real dollar prizes backed by the house.
