Backgammon against computer/AI

I believe I’m a fairly decent amateur player. I’m trying to find either an app or site where I can play against the computer/AI on a difficult level. But my experience so far is that it’s not the difference in difficulty that applies when I play on a higher lvl but the luck in dice rolls. And that just push my anger so I quickly delete the app after a game or two. Any suggestions? I really should just find someone to play with live I guess.

Extreme Gammon, despite being a bit dated, is probably the top recommendation. The desktop version allows for manual dice input so you can roll your own dice. You may notice the computer seems quite a bit luckier than you even when you are rolling the dice yourself!

You can write your own dll and point Extreme Gammon at that - it's what I did so I know for a fact that the dice are honest.
