Didn't know where to put this, so let's throw it in under Chat.
Way back when in the beginning time, amongst the first games sites I registered and played at were TrueMoneyGames and a, more or less, exact copy of it called PlayMoneyWorld. PMW had a few tournaments with real money prizes, but the money was put in your account at TMG. When they quit holding those tournaments . Blah Blah Blah ... etc. Make a long story shorter ... Well, haven't played at PMW in ages, had in fact uninstalled it.
Just got email that they had closed PMW and were starting something new. So, if anyone is interested, and this is strictly a transfer of information and in no way a recommendation, there is a brand new gameing site on the airways... Xciting Games. I just got the mail today, and just now installed and had a look.
Both backgammon and poker. If you have ever played at TrueMoneyGames, the interface is very similar in many ways. Time is GMT; Monetary unit used appears to be Euro, don't know if you can change it. Right now there is almost nobody there (31 online). 5 playing at a hold'em table and 15 in a backgammon tournament.
No poker tournaments listed at the moment.
All backgammon tournaments listed are freerolls (10 Euro added) starting every two hours.
So what's their gimmick? Well, apparently they have the usual FPP (frequent player points), and you also can earn SPP ... you ready? ... Sexy player points.
My tired old computer is not the best for streaming video, but .. in the top right corner of the poker table window, there is a pic of a pretty girl. It seems that when you have earned enough SPP you get a private visit from the hostess. I have absolutely no idea what that means ... but that's what it says on their web site.
Now you know as much about it as I do ... Caveat Emptor?
I've registred for a backgammon freeroll starting in half hour ...
we shall see ...
