We built Zenith Gammon — online backgammon with ELO, achievements that lower your rake, and a partner referral system. Would love your feedback!
Hey r/backgammon,
We've been working on Zenith Gammon for quite a while, and we're finally ready to share it.
Our goal wasn't to build another generic gambling site. We wanted to create a platform where backgammon players can compete, climb the rankings, and unlock long-term progression instead of relying on temporary promotions.
What you can play
- Traditional backgammon (without the doubling cube)
- Modern backgammon (with the doubling cube)
- Ranked matches with an ELO rating system
Achievement progression
One feature we're especially proud of is the achievement system.
There are 58+ achievements, covering everything from your first victories and winning streaks to referral milestones. Every achievement permanently reduces the commission you pay on future matches, so active players gradually pay less. If you unlock enough achievements, you can reduce your commission by up to 1% from the standard rate.
Partner & Referral System
We wanted referrals to reward real activity, not just signups.
When someone joins through your referral link:
- You earn a reward when they make their first deposit.
- You continue earning rewards every time they make a deposit, not just the first one.
- You also earn rewards whenever your referred players win matches, encouraging long-term activity.
- Once the required gameplay turnover has been completed, you receive 1% commission on every qualifying deposit they make.
- You progress through partner ranks, from First Contact to Zenith Partner.
- Referral achievements also permanently reduce the commission on your own matches.
Payments
We're currently using the TRON (TRC-20) network with USDT and TRX.
Besides standard deposits, players can also transfer funds directly to each other using our Send Money to a Friend feature.
Languages
The platform is currently available in:
- English
- Turkish
- Arabic
- Persian (Farsi)
- German
- French
- Greek
- Spanish
- Italian
- Russian
We're still in the early stages, so we're sure there are things we can improve.
If anyone here gives it a try, we'd really appreciate honest feedback on the gameplay, ranking system, UI, or anything else that stands out.
We're also curious: do you prefer traditional backgammon without the doubling cube, or modern backgammon with it?
Thanks for reading, and we're happy to answer any questions in the comments.
