Dice and mastery makes the backgammon game.
But, taking a win upon disconnection, when you are losing is dishonest and should not be tolerated.

Only in $Ticket games:
If the player disconnected or time per move has expired no one will be allowed to take a win unless the situation on the board is appropriate for that. All unfinished $Ticket games are analyzed with World Championship Level backgammon engine from
GammonLab.com
Depending on GammonLab engine evaluation, $Ticket games are either annulled or settled proportionally or let stay as they are per Terms & Conditions

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
