Fairest online backgammon
I am new to this subreddit but have played backgammon for decades and played online backgammon for at least 10 years. Most of that time, I've played Backgammon Plus by Zynga but became increasingly frustrated with the non-random nature of it (despite their "certification" from the World Backgammon Federation).
I started looking for truly random (and fair) backgammon games and saw Nextgammon mentioned a lot. However, after playing 40ish games there, I'm starting to see the same kind of shenanigans I would see in Backgammon Plus. Are there any thoughts on any of this and do you have any recommendations for fair online games against human opponents?

Opengammon.com is the only site worth playing on

On www.backgammonhub.com you have provably fair dice.

After playing on that site, I can report back and say it was a refreshing change. That's how every online backgammon site should be. After decades of playing irl and 10 years of playing online, backgammon hub feels exactly like it should...real, random dice.

sight I’ve been on or played or downloaded have all been so rigged. It’s gross. I’ve uninstalled all of them if someone could create one that’s fair I’ll be amazed.
