Welcome to JustGammon

JustGammon is an online backgammon platform designed for mouse, touch, keyboard, and screen-reader users. You can play against another person, challenge a computer opponent, create a private game, or watch games already in progress.

Open the JustGammon Portal, choose Play online, and then select Sign In in the game.

You can register with an email address or use one of the supported sign-in providers shown on the login screen. If you register by email, follow the verification instructions sent to your inbox.

The first time you sign in, JustGammon asks you to complete your player profile:

  • Choose a unique nickname.
  • Select an avatar.
  • Optionally select your country.

Your nickname and avatar identify you to opponents and spectators. You can open My Profile later to update your profile, manage your identity-provider account, or sign out.

From the home screen, choose one of these options:

  • Play Game finds another online player.
  • Private Game lets you create a game for someone you know or join one using its PIN.
  • Play Against Bot starts a game against a computer opponent.
  • Spectator lets you watch public games or a bot-versus-bot game.

Read Game Modes for the differences, or go directly to How to Play.
