The online backgammon room GamesGrid is inactive since March 15, 2008. The backgammon site was purchased by the online gaming portal GameAccount, which, according to the GamesGrid's former management announcement, will soon open a new backgammon room in its place. Once the new backgammon site will be online, members of the old and currently closed GamesGrid players will be able to log in to the new site with the same username and password.

GamesGrid is mainly a website for online poker games, yet it also offers backgammon games. There are 76,000 online players in this website.
The software is easy to install, but nicknames must be validated via an email account before playing. There is a possibility to pay for a membership subscription, which allows certain benefits, such as playing unlimited matches, uploading one's picture, or participating in members-only tournaments. The price for a membership subscription lies between a minimum of 79.95$ for a single year, to a maximum of 500$ for a lifetime subscription.

The graphics both for the game and for the website itself are pleasant, elegant and minimal. It is possible to watch a backgammon game, or participate in a game, either just for fun or for money. One can take part in a chat while playing. The chat option is simple and easy to use. Chatting makes the game feel much more personal, and allows getting to know other players. One can speak both with the opponent and with those who are watching the game. The chat option is available in various languages, including Hebrew.
It is also possible to play for small stakes against the computer. The computer plays in different levels. These non-human opponents are called "money robots".

The GamesGrid website offers responsible wagering precautions, including explanations about the dangers of gambling and a self-test. This is rather unusual for websites that offer online gambling. I find this very decent towards the users of the site.

The following terms relate to poker, and I suppose this may apply for the backgammon games in the GamesGrid website as well:  

  1. Signup bonus: 200% of the new player's first deposit, up to 400$. This bonus, however, can be converted into real money only by earning enough FPP points.
  2. For every five FPP points a player gains 1$ bonus. FPP points are earned according to the rake paid for the games by the players, starting with 0.25 points for 0.5-0.99$ rakes, up to a whole FPP point for a 3$ rake and up. Yet, a player must earn at least 25 FPP points before he/she can convert the bonus into real money.
  3. Gamesgrid offer the same benefits for sending invitations to friends and for joining the affiliates program. The current offer of the website is 33% of the net rake.
  4. The rakes depend on the kind of game, and on the number of players. The latter seems relevant only for poker games, as backgammon rules allow only two participants per game. Rakes vary between 0.05$ to 3$.
Tournaments are optional, including Intermediate tournaments and 25$ tournaments.
