Backgammon players will be able to trust online play even more with Gammon Empire instituting a Board of Trustees to root out and rule on accounts suspected of bot use.

Bots are the bane of any skill game played for real money online. For both players and operators, cheaters who use bots spoil the fun of the game and steal money from superior human players who just cannot compete with the computational power of a dedicated backgammon bot.

The Board of Trustees will initially consist of three big names in the world of real money backgammon. Robert Wachtel, Masayuki Mochizukia and Michael “Falafel” Natanzon are all major backgammon experts and none of them are employees of Gammon Empire. This separation of the Board of Trustees from the Gammon Empire business is great, as it means that the Board will make decisions on account closures based on its own findings rather than any potential pressure from Gammon Empire.

All three board members bring a wealth of backgammon knowledge to the Board. Robert Wachtel is a Top 10 worldwide backgammon player and wrote the well-respected backgammon book ‘In the Game until the End: Winning in Ace-Point End-Games’. Masayuki Mochizukia is a member of the Japanese Backgammon League, helping to cover more than just American and European backgammon play. Finally, Michael “Falafel” Natanzon is a world famous backgammon expert who holds highly attended seminars, and will add exceptional technical knowledge to the Board of Trustees.

Players will be able to report accounts to the Board of Trustees who will investigate them and make rulings on their findings. Accounts that receive frequent complaints will be carefully monitored in order to substantiate or dismiss the complaints against the player. This will add to Game Empire’s reputation as one of the best places to play online backgammon.
