FAQ

Is Kutuama free to play?
Yes, completely free. No ads, no signup needed. Jump in as a guest and start playing right away.
Do I need an account to play?
No, guest play works out of the box. Your progress is saved while you play, and you can convert to an account anytime to win prizes.
Can I play on mobile?
Yes, it runs in any mobile browser like Chrome, Safari, or Samsung Internet. For a full-screen app feel, use "Add to Home Screen".
What type of backgammon is this?
Kutuama plays traditional Turkish (street-style) backgammon, no doubling cube. Wins are 1x, or 2x (gammon) if your opponent hasn't borne off any checkers.
How does Kutuama measure your skill?
Uses Glicko-2 algorithm. New players need ~50 matches to lock in their rating, and the system surfaces active players — so it reflects your current form, not past peaks.
How are dice rolls generated?
You roll when ready, and the server generates the dice the same way for every player. Cheating isn't possible.
Who starts first?
The server picks the starting player randomly. Each player has an exact 50% chance to go first. No starting position gives an advantage.
Are matches single games?
Each match is a single game. Your rating updates right after the game ends. No multi-game formats like first-to-5 or first-to-7.
Is there paid content?
Tea and checker skins are cosmetic. You earn them by completing quests or purchasing them — no effect on the game results.
What are the time limits per turn?
You have 11 seconds per move, plus a 1 minute 30 second bank time reserve. Turn time counts down first, then bank kicks in.
Can I play against a bot?
Yes, you can play single-player against a bot anytime. An internet connection is required.
