Play65.com Software
Getting to know new software can be daunting, but the online game software really is easy to navigate once you become familiar with it. For the software to work you need to be running Windows on your computer. Once you log in, pop up windows provide you with links to sign up and start gambling for real money – for all those players who mean business – and links to Play65’s current backgammon news and up-and-coming events, such as game tournaments. You can close off these windows and go back to them later if you choose.
The main screen of the online game software lists players currently playing backgammon online, players looking for opponents to start playing a game, and tabs along the top bar allow you to move to any of several rooms in which you can play backgammon. Colour-coded player ratings give you an idea of the skill of an opponent, and the stakes for each game an opponent is willing to gamble is also listed, so it is easy to see who you can play based on how much you are willing to gamble. It all looks a bit confusing but the great thing about Play65 is that you can watch games of backgammon that are being played on the online game server by other players so you can see how it works before you start playing yourself.

I was amazed by how many languages the Play65 site supports. They have Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, Italian, Norwegian, Arabic, Hebrew, German, French, Dutch, Danish, and a few more. There are actual versions of the site in all these languages, so it’s not just something put there so that the site should look good (I clicked on every one of those languages and checked it out).

Play65.com Additional Information
Unique Features
- When it comes to unique features, the first thing that comes to my mind is the sheer number of players Play65 gets. That alone is quite outstanding and unique too given the fact that I hardly think any other online backgammon room can match it.
- Another unique feature is the tournament system that they have going at Play65. They have the largest cash prizes involved in these tournaments, and they have the Swing and the Knockout ones, which are pretty unique too.
- Their “refer-a-friend” setup is also unique as far as the actual bonuses go, but the idea in itself is by no means original.
Bottom line is: the fact that it is by far the biggest online backgammon operation on the internet sets Play65 apart from any other backgammon room out there.
Play65.com Pros & Cons
- Pros:
- Software available in twelve languages
- Numerous players at cash games
- Interesting promotions
- Easy game interface
- Cons:
- The client software crashes occasionally. Fortunately when this happens you can just restart, log in, and your game is resumed automatically.
- There are a couple features missing some people might want: (1) There is no Jacoby rule. (2) There is no way to flip the orientation of the board so that checkers bear off on the left instead of the right.
