It supports English, Italian, Japanese, Spanish, Dutch, Turkish, Swedish, French, German and Greek.
The site itself is very clean and simple. The games and software is top notch, both perfected after years of experience. The graphics of this online casino are incredible: an original 3D backgammon board with an interface that easy to use. Developed specifically for Gammon Empire, the interface has player statistics and logistics that help you predict moves and create strategies.
Another great thing about this site is the tournaments. There are daily, monthly and weekly tournaments. Averaging over 5,000 players online at any given time, 10,000 players during peak hours, and with over a million registered members from over a hundred countries, these tournaments are always full. A great way to start out is with the 3$ sign up bonus. The site gives it to you even without a deposit, so one could win thousands on tournaments and games without even depositing a cent.
The many games available in this site attract different players; there are regular games, sit and go games and swing games. Players can pick and choose whatever they want. The site promotes itself as a great way to gamble, but also a great way to make friends online. Games are a great place t get to know other backgammon enthusiasts and make connections.

Mainly, two types of games are available. First is the ‘single’ player game, where it’s one on one and you either set up a table or join one. Or you can play in ‘series’ or tournament. There are three types of tournaments, the Sit n’ Go Tournament, Event Tournament and the Swing Tournament. The Swing Tournament is where all players start with the same amount of chips and then are knocked out until one comes out on top.
Players don’t need to worry about security either. Financial information and transactions are sent over a 128-bit encryption. And all personal information is kept according to strict guidelines outline in the site. The site also accepts all major credit cards, Neteller and PayPal.
