Trust Online Backgammon
5POINT uses Machine Learning and Data Science to protect Backgammon tournaments.
What Problem Does 5POINT Solve?
Computer assisted decision making is easier and more accessible than ever before.
We take a sophisticated data driven approach to identifying non-human play.
A 5POINT protected tournament deters illegitimate players and creates a fair game for all.
Machine Learning
We use Artificial Intelligence models trained on real human matches to identify positions where the human is likely to make an error. For every position, we can estimate the likelihood the human player will make a mistake.
In Depth Statistics
PR based analytics don't tell the full story and are easily manipulated. More granular statistics paint a detailed picture of the player's style and if all the moves played are their own.
Tournament Directors
We support rigorous tournament supervision by providing TDs with the tools they need to highlight and address suspicions.
Shaping History
Each 5POINT protected tournament adds to the history and reputation of fairness in online backgammon. We are progressing backgammon into the modern era.
How does it work?
5POINT introduces transparency to play in an online tournament.
​
After each match is played, transcripts are analysed by the 5POINT system. This produces a detailed report which describes how each player performed with respect to their past matches and to other players at a similar level.
​
A number of warnings are triggered by suspicious statistics. For example, if a player performs better in their difficult blitzing positions than their history would predict, they will be flagged for deeper review.
​
In this way, a 5POINT report enables the TD to effectively observe every match, and to be alerted to any suspicious playing patterns.
