I had no idea "Mr Algorithm" was bald and living in Turkey! 🤨 Glad you're on the case. I'm sure this will eventually get solved. Where is Tucker Carlson when you need him!

The video about rigged dice is funny. However, the truth is more complex than simply saying whether online backgammon uses rigged dice or not. First of all, I don't think Backgammon Galaxy uses rigged dice. The reason is that Backgammon Galaxy has nothing to gain from rigged dice. A player can lose multiple games in a row and still continue playing without being forced to put real money. Additionally, Backgammon Galaxy keeps statistics from all the games you have played, making it easy to prove whether the dice are rigged or not. This is not the case for other online backgammon applications. I'll give as an example the Lord of the Board, but what I'm going to write applies to other similar applications as well. To be able to play on Lord of the Board, you need virtual chips. If you lose a few games, then you have two options to continue playing. The first option is to collect chips from friends and log in every four hours to collect the free chips. The second option is to buy chips with real money. Since you can only collect free chips from friends once a day with the limit of 25 friends, if you follow the first option, it will take 2-3 days to be able to play again. The only way to play immediately is to buy chips. Therefore, Lord of the Board benefits from forcing players to lose, so they run out of chips and have to buy new ones. Could Lord of the Board operate fairly? Probably not. According to statistics, 1% to 5% of players make purchases with real money in free games. In most cases, the player has a reason to make a purchase. For example, in an RPG, they can buy one or more legendary heroes or speed up the construction of a building. This is legitimate since the developer determines the rules of the game. The player knows from the beginning that it is a pay-to-win game, plays for free for a while, and if they like it and want to be competitive, then they pay. The same doesn't apply to backgammon. Lord of the Board (LOTB) can only sell chips and nothing else. If they start selling various boosters, then the game is no longer backgammon. For example, imagine if they gave you the ability to change a bad roll of the dice, block your opponent's good roll, or roll three dice and keep two of them. Such a game would simply not be backgammon. Let's assume that the average player plays with one-fifth of their chips. If LOTB were fair, it would mean that only one-fifth of players would need to buy chips. So based on the above, those who would make a purchase would be between 0.2% and 1%. It should be noted that I have seen many players with millions of chips playing at tables with 5 or 10 thousand chips. So these percentages are probably much smaller. Let's take a look at the company itself, Beach Bum LTD from Israel. Just a glance at their Facebook page (facebook.com/Beach-Bum-992923960753686) can convince you that this is not a company with reduced income. If we calculate the advertisements they make with celebrities from all over the world and their VIP sponsorship of the WBF, we can conclude that their revenues are multiple times higher than what could be explained by an honest application. LOTB has a presence on many social media platforms. They have disabled comments on KZread. On TikTok, they allow comments, but if you make a negative critique, they delete your comment and ban you from their channel. The same goes for Facebook and Instagram, where they even give some extra chips to those who answer certain posts. Blocking criticism without addressing it substantively doesn't show that they are honest, but rather that they have something to hide. Where they cannot intervene is in the reviews on the Google Play Store and the iOS App Store. Interestingly, while they have a good rating, almost all the comments are negative. To some extent, this is also due to the fact that they give free chips to those who give them a 5-star rating. That's why you'll see many comments where the five stars are accompanied by accusations of rigged dice. In some of the reviews, they are forced to respond because they cannot delete them. Up until now, they simply responded that their RNG (Random Number Generator) has been tested, without specifying who the auditor was. They expected us to just trust them. Now they write that their RNG is approved by the WBF (World Backgammon Federation). I searched the WBF website and found nothing. In fact, it does not state anywhere which applications have received approval from the WBF for their RNG. So I asked them, and after days, they sent me a PDF with the approval. However, upon further investigation, I saw that LOTB is a VIP sponsor of the WBF. It's very convenient to receive approval from someone you sponsor. The simplest way to convince everyone that they are fair would be to disclose the statistics of each player. Why don't they do it? Good question. Some might argue that it is impossible to control each game and always give one player the best roll and the other the worst. The truth is that it may be possible for an individual game, but not when millions of games are running simultaneously. However, LOTB doesn't need such an approach. Based on my experience, I believe they use three tools to deceive their users. The first is a hidden variable, let's call it the "favor index." The higher it is, the more the application wants you to win. For a new user, the favor index is high and decreases over time. The only way to increase it is to make a purchase. The second tool is bots, which an average player cannot defeat. Finally, rigged dice. I suspect that secretly, the system rolls three dice and chooses, based on the favor index, whether to give the best or worst roll. Here are some examples from my experience. In the beginning, for about a month, I almost always won. If I needed two consecutive doubles, I would get them. If I needed a specific roll, I would also get it. But after a month, everything changed. Since I didn't put money into the game, my favor index dropped to zero, and I consistently faced rigged dice. You might argue that the better you play, the better rolls you will have. That's why I will mention examples that have nothing to do with skill. To start with, in about eight out of ten games, the opponent would start. At some point, for twenty-six consecutive games, I played second, which has a probability of 0.0000014%! I kept statistics for doubles as well. In approximately seven out of ten games, the opponent had at least two more doubles than me. About two out of ten games, the doubles were at most one more for either player, and only one out of ten games did I have two or more doubles than the opponent. In many games, the opponent would double while being in an obvious disadvantageous position, and after I accepted, they would have the perfect rolls to win. Two specific examples demonstrate how deceptive they are. Firstly, in a game where the position was even, the opponent doubled. They could hit me, but in their home board, they had a 2 point prime (6 and 5) and also he would left open points. So, I accepted. Then they hit me and I didn't enter in a 2 point prime for four rolls, in a 3 point prime for three, and in a 4 point prime for another four. In the end, I lost with a backgammon, losing all my chips. In another game, I was 40 pips ahead, and while all my checkers were free, two of their checkers were trapped in my home board, with only the five-point available. I waited for my turn to double, but to my surprise, the opponent doubled. LOTB allows for a redouble, which I did. Then, it was my turn, and I also doubled, and the opponent redoubled, and the bet went from 15,000 chips to 240,000 chips. Then the opponent brought double fives to free their checkers and two consecutive double sixes. After that, they brought more doubles, and I needed double sixes to avoid losing the gammon. It didn't matter because I lost all my chips anyway. In several games, the opponent accepted or proposed a double while being significantly behind and then won with perfect rolls. I only had favorable rolls at the beginning and the only time I bought chips. It is certainly suspicious that the major turnarounds always happen against me and usually after a double, as if the opponent knows the rolls in advance. Finally, for some reason, it seems that the most common name is "PL" followed by a random number. But also, when I saw someone with an actual name having scandalous dice favoritism, I searched for them on Facebook. Supposedly, only real people participate through Facebook, but I couldn't find a single one. Maybe the game should be called "Lord of the Bots." If you're wondering why some people say the same things about Backgammon Galaxy, the explanation is simple. Many people entered the backgammon world through online applications like LOTB or similar ones. When they played on Backgammon Galaxy and had a couple of unlucky rolls, they falsely concluded that the dice were rigged, as they had grown accustomed to. So, don't blame them because they are victims of scammers. What's more regrettable is that the WBF (World Backgammon Federation) sold out to these scammers. It's a short-sighted strategy because they may make some money from sponsorships, but many players are quitting backgammon because they believe everyone is a cheater. If you truly love backgammon, then there is only one solution. Stop engaging with the victims and try to expose the scammers until they are forced to shut down these applications. Otherwise, they will make millions while backgammon loses its players.
