"It cheats, cheats, cheats!"

Pros

Well designed and easy to play

Cons

There's no doubt in my mind the s/ware does not throw random dice. I too suspect there are robotic opponents whose throws are most advantageous to themselves. I've been playing the free version for some time and can never ever get above 500 points. There are consistently more doubles thrown by your opponent, especially when bearing off, or throws which inveriably capture your exposed blot. It just seems far too biased towards the 'house'.
I've lost count of the number of times I've been taken, only to throw a double 6 which is the only number blocked - every other number is open.
I've given up.

Summary

It's addicitve and if you're prepared to put up with the incredibly rude opponents who frequent the site, as well as consistently lose, this is the game for you.
I think it sucks

"Awful and suspect"

Pros

The board is set up correctly, the dice are also correct.

Cons

Rude people, but this is indicative of the internet I suppose. I play at a fast pace, you still have these people who go ZZZZZZ every time you take more than 2 seconds to go. If you view the real money games there is something very suspicious as the second the dice roll they've moved already. Humanly impossible, I almost suspect robotic play, and perhaps for backgammon masters themselves posing as real people. Other times you'll see a long pause before a roll, and it's always a double 6, or just what the 'person' needed by coincidence. Very fishy site, stay away, put your money elsewhere. As we see here they also offer no support.

Summary

Play with real people, this site has far too many possible ways to steal your money.
