Do you love playing backgammon for money? Does the thrill of competition and idea of winning thousands of dollars in cash and prizes excite you? If the answer to either of these questions is "yes" then you should think seriously about getting involved in online backgammon tournaments.

Online tournament backgammon can be found at most backgammon sites on the web. There are even some backgammon sites that are completely devoted to backgammon tournaments.

Tournament backgammon consists of short matches between contestants. These games usually begin at around three points a match and increase to five or seven points a match towards the end of the tournament. These low point matches make luck a large factor in online backgammon tournaments, which makes this sort of competition a real gamble.

The prize pools for online backgammon tournaments usually come from entrance fees. Each contestant pays an entrance fee and all of these entrance fees are compiled together in a giant prize pool for the winner. For this reason, tournaments with larger entrance fees generally have larger prize pools. However, sometimes backgammon sites will guarantee a dollar amount for their prize pool and if the entrance fees don't reach this amount they must put in the rest of the money. Sometimes, online backgammon tournaments have prizes other than cash. These prizes range from all-expense-paid vacations and even free entrance into real live backgammon tournaments around the globe!

So if you think you are ready for the excitement of tournament backgammon online, don't be shy. Start looking for tournaments today!
