Many of the sites forming Jadestone Backgammon Network have sports betting and casino games as main source of income. That brings a fresh flow of easy to beat players at the backgammon tables. Jadestone organizes one of the best online backgammon tournaments and runs qualifiers to live events like the European Backgammon Tour sponsored by Betfair.

There are plenty of sites forming the Jadestone Backgammon Network. Most of them are mainly big name bookies and casino that do not have big interest in skill games (or backgammon). That fact is good because this brings many inexperienced players to the backgammon lobby. The two main sites that are most active in promoting backgammon are Betfair and PAF (Play Among Friends).
