In Weekly Challenges your first three chests are now protected. If you lose a match, you won’t lose the progress points you’ve already banked toward that chest. Heads‑up: this protection is removed if you refill (rejoin) the challenge.
We’ve also resolved a long‑standing issue with the “full roll” rule during bear‑off. The rule is:
You must play the full roll. If you can’t play both dice, you must play the higher die. On doubles, you must make four moves of the number shown.
What’s new
Dear players! We’re happy to announce the long‑awaited update to Backgammon Masters. This release focuses on improving connection stability and revamping the weekly challenges.
Due to connection issues appearing in some countries, we reorganized our infrastructure and added a new “Region” option in the app.
What does choosing a region do?
If the in‑game update download fails, the game won’t connect, avatars don’t load, or room lists don’t appear, switch to a different region. If everything works fine, you can ignore this option.
The key feature of the update is the reworked challenges. We removed the low stakes of 10 and 50. We also introduced stake unlocks. Now, to start playing for 500, you need 3 wins at the 100 stake. To unlock 1000, you need 3 consecutive wins at the 500 stake. In addition, there are limits on the maximum winnings for each base stake. In simple terms, the doubling cube will initially go only up to x2; after one win it can go up to x4; and after 6 wins—up to the full x64! Each win doubles your maximum permitted win. This applies to each base stake: 100, 500, and 1000.
If you lose your entire competition balance and then top it up again, your stake unlocks reset. That’s the rule.
We also added indicators to the weekly leaderboard, so you can track other players’ rating growth.
Heads‑up! Starting September 1, we’re relaunching weekly competitions on a regular basis. The debut competition will start at 12:00 UTC. Don’t miss it!

Dear players, we’re excited to announce a new update! The key additions in this version include the Trophy Shop and Season Results. Now, when a season ends, you’ll receive a notification with a summary of your earned rankings and rewards.
Additionally, the Trophy Shop has arrived! Here, you can find unique badges to decorate your profile or gift to a friend. All items in the shop can be sent as gifts!
We’re also working on addressing your feedback and reported issues—expect more improvements soon!
Dear friends! We’re excited to announce a new ranking system in Backgammon Masters – Seasons! Each season, the top players will be selected based on their performance in tournaments and quick coin games. At the end of the season, a qualification will take place. The leaders will receive well-deserved trophies and be inducted into the Hall of Fame. No special action is required to participate in the seasonal rankings. The game will notify you when a new season begins. And if you participate in quick coin games, you’ll receive bonus crowns for each game. Similarly, you’ll earn tournament points (cups) for placing in tournaments. This means that the medal and ELO rankings will no longer be relevant. It’s worth noting that the seasonal ranking will be both global and local – by country. This increases your chances of making it onto the leaderboard.
We’ve added a Tournament Profile to the Player Profile window. Now you can see all the details about your active tournament play: the number of entries, awards received, and recent tournaments. Medals now have a distinct color scheme that differentiates them by style.
And the last important change worth mentioning: we’ve added the ability to upgrade your banner in your profile. By winning tournaments, leading in seasons, or receiving gifts from friends, you acquire special badges – trophies. If you want to show off your gaming achievements or mood, use your trophies.
Full list of changes:
– Introducing Seasons in Backgammon Masters!
– Each season, the most active players in both quick games and tournaments will be selected.
– Season winners will receive well-deserved trophies.
– Opportunity to participate in the seasonal ranking for your country.
– Ability to display trophy badges on your flag in your profile.
– Added a “Tournament Profile” section that significantly expands on a player’s tournament activity.
– Bug fixes.
