Aggravating but Fun... – Backgammon Gold Review

It is fun, but I wouldn't recommend it to a learning player because it will encourage a vastly over cautious strategy of play. One of the fun aspects of backgammon is understanding the odds and knowing what risks to take. Backgammon Gold punishes risk taking. It is beatable because it plays so foolishly, but it is nowhere near the neighborhood of honest backgammon. Oh btw, their website claims the game is not rigged, which is tempting to believe, but as a statistician, after having played hundreds of games I can testify that it is difinitely rigged. "Computer expert" rolls doubles at a rate approximately quintuple the odds. The rigged rolls become predictable, particularly after accepting a double. I can't imagine why a programmer of games would do this, but there ya go.
