If you have installed it, the games won't work.
You'd need to uninstall Java 8 and then re-install the previous Java 7 from:
http://www.java.com/en/download/manual_java7.jsp
For Windows, select 32-bit off-line installation
Java 8, Backgammon, etc.

At GameColony we are working to solve the issue with Java 8 incompatibility as soon as possible.
In addition to installing Java 7, at this moment the following options for GameColony backgammon are available:
(1) Install a new 'Backgammon Live' app for iPhone, iPad and Android phones and tablets
See details HERE
(2) For Windows 8 only:
Install a new app 'Backgammon GC Online' available from Windows Store
See details HERE
(3) Install a non-Java Backgammon for Windows from HERE

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.
