One of the fastest growing internet card games in terms of popularity is Backgammon. Unlike traditional online casino games like Baccarat and Roulette, Backgammon is considered a skill game. Although a game like blackjack can and should be played with a skillful strategy, blackjack is still considered a game of chance, and does not offer the same degree of skill that bettors can exercise while playing Backgammon. On the contrary, Backgammon is more like a game of poker or chess. In fact, many players describe Backgammon as a happy medium between checkers and chess - Offering players the chance to use in-depth strategy, but also providing a fun and entertaining game of simple structure. More and more internet casinos are beginning to offer Backgammon as part of their regular lineup of traditional games. And considering that Backgammon is designated as a skill game, it is well-equipped to slide under the radar of the recently passed Internet Gambling Prohibition and Enforcement Act. Consequently, internet gamblers should expect to see more of Backgammon in the online casinos. Real-time Backgammon software first hit the Web in 1992, which since time has developed and blossomed into a graphically intense and user-friendly software platform and playing interface. There are numerous commercial websites and casinos now offering this recreational game in real-time form in both play-for-fun and real-money betting environments. Two of the Web's largest search engine's, Yahoo and MSN both have their own offering of live games, which include Backgammon. Yahoo! Games has offered a Java-based Backgammon for nearly ten years, while MSN offers a sharp Backgammon game that can be played with ActiveX controls.

US Online Gambling Bill Update

The US Congress passed The Safe Port Act that also included the 'Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006' that aims to make it illegal for US banks to process transactions related to online gaming (Reuters News Release).

In light of this development, we want to communicate with you that we are available to answer any questions that you may have regarding this event. As more questions are resolved in the upcoming weeks, we will continue to update you.

PlayUnited.com and their software provider, RealTime Gaming, have not announced any changes due to these new regulations. Players from all geographical areas are still able to register new accounts, collect the new player and other bonuses, and continue to enjoy their favorite casino games. We assure you that your Earn United affiliate account will continue to generate revenue from all players globally and your commissions will be processed on schedule.

At this time, we would like to offer a few suggestions to all of our affiliates:

- Register a non-US bank account and/or an alternative payment solution account other than NETeller to receive your affiliate earnings. We recommend www.payspark.com as an alternative payment method.

- Ensure all your gaming websites are hosted outside of the US.

- Register your company, URLs, and other assets under a non-US entity

- Diversify your traffic to International markets to reduce your reliance on the US market

We are focused on keeping the lines of communication open so if you would like any further information on these recommendations, please contact us.

Sincerely,

Ryan King
