Knowledge of the rules of the game are surely a necessity for even the most inexperienced players, and it is great to learn about the finer details within the art of popular games, if you’ve ever played casino games at one of the UK’s online or offline casinos – or even a few rounds of cards in your neighbours’ sitting room – then surely you’ve had the experience of wishing you knew what not to do when you’re playing. Especially now that the Full Tile Poker shut down is enforced, online poker isn’t as reliable as it once was. Now, the newest sensation in UK’s online casinos is competitive online backgammon. The game’s Internet popularity has sparked a great deal of offline interest in the game. If you’ve never played in an offline setting, you may be interested to learn some of the things you should avoid doing when playing a game of backgammon.

1. Never remark on a players’ good or bad luck. Don’t boast about your luck if you have a good roll and never point out your opponent’s bad or unlucky rolls. This is rude and annoying, and even more so during online play.

2. Don’t call bad rolls – yours or your opponents – this is considered poor form.

3. Do not roll until your opponent has finished his turn and retrieved his dice. Rushing other players is rude and unfair.4. Don’t handle the doubling cube unless you actually plan to double. This is misleading and may be interpreted as dishonest.
