Play65's Freeroll Tournament on Thursady

Running toward the end of the week, I think this special backgammon tournament will make your weekend somehow sweet:

Play65 is running a free tournament with cash prize and an opportunity to get a free entry to its February's Grand Tournament (50,000$ prizes guaranteed!).
This will happen today, at 20:00 (GMT) and the great thing is that you don't need to pay anything in order to take part in this small backgammon party.
If you are already a registered player at play65 - just use the starts you had accumulated while playing backgammon for real money. All you need is 3000 starts and you're in!

CU!

Play65 Backgammon Site Updates

I assume that most of play65's backgammon players don't check play65's site too often, if at all. Once you had installed its backgammon software you don't do much except playing, right?
But i'd like to check things up and not to rely upon getting newsletters update, so once in a while I take my leap to the site, to see what's going on.

My last leap was two days ago...
Want to hear what is in my basket?

Israeli Backgammon Players are Fun Restricted
Play65's Israeli players can no longer play backgammon for real money. They can still use the backgammon game platform play65 is offering them but this is only for fun games. Reliable sources around the web say the reason behind this distressing news is that Israeli authorities came to the conclusion that playing backgammon for money is illegal since it falls under the definition of gambling. I find it ridiculous since backgammon is primarily a game of skill and as such I don't understand how anyone can aompare it to gambling games like slot machine for example. I hope Play65's management will keep on fighting this, so we can all enjoy some good backgammon game with the Israeli players.

Play65 Constantly Upgrades Itself
Play65's site keeps on upgrading itself for the benefit of its players and other visitors. Not too long ago it added a backgammon articles page, listing some great articles (written by play65's players!!!) on backgammon strategies, and now there's a new page of "Backgammon Resources" with some of the most important websites on this topic.
Good for play65 - Great for us!
