I think there is a bug at the new site regarding the doubling cube..I've played Crawford games where the doubling cube should be disabled yet on the new site it will let you choose to double and then display a message "waiting for opponent" meanwhile our own clock ticks down to zero?

Please check..the doubling cube should not be selectable in the Crawford rule situation..Tks

Now and then I can't select players to play them? It's not all the time and is always a game for TX. If I switch to the old site I can select and play that person?

Let me know what else I can provide?

I think another bug on new site..now and then I try to click to play someone and nothing happens...it seems random and doesn't happen all the time..I think it has always been a ticket game but not sure...if I go back to old site I can click on same player and play so I'm not blocked or anything like that?

Let me know what else I can provide? Tks




Screenshot and testing

LevitateMe, thanks for your report.
I wonder if that table had a temporary 'X' option (invitation-only). Please post your screenshot at postimage.org and copy/paste the resulting link to it here or to Contact Us.



LevitateMe - Please retry and see if the error had disappeared

Although we could not reproduce the error you described, we have made a change in functionality that should have eliminated the error in showing of a Ticket game table. Joining a Ticket game produces an intermediate dialog window with Terms & Conditions, etc.
You may have an ad-blocker that may occasionally interfere with the above.
Please retry and see if the error had disappeared and please let us know.
Thanks!

Thanks for posting screenshots.
Unfortunately we cannot reproduce this error in multiple web browsers.
How often does this error happen?
When you say nothing is happening when you try to join the table, could the dialog window with Terms and Conditions be hiding behind the lobby window? Try Alt-tab to see all windows.
Do you happen to have a popup blocker and if so, which one?
Which web browser are you using & have you tried using alternative web browsers: Firefox, Edge, Google Chrome

Please let us know.

Play backgammon tournaments online

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!. According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!).   The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
