Of all the game sites, Pogo is the easiest to navigate. It is attractively laid out with most games easy to play (when there aren't issues going on). There's a tremendous variety of all sorts of games.
I find that the games are somehow preprogrammed. I play Jungle Gin mostly and find too many coincidences in the way I can't seem to do well. I might be dealt a rather good hand, which somehow drops dead in mid-stream. Cards often appear right after you no longer need them or don't appear at all.
One of the worse aspects of Pogo is its tech "support".
Whenever I've contacted them, their answer has been, "It's your Java" or some other assertion that the problem lies with me and not with them. It might be my Java from time to time, but not each time there's a problem. I've given up even bothering to contact their support team, because it leads to no solutions. Evenutally most problems are corrected. I also feel that their prizes are not legitimate. I tried to add a "winner" to my friends list and received a message that the player did not exist. I don't mind losing the game, but do mind "being taken".
Pogo would be a much more enjoyable game site if more randomness were built into the games. At too many times I feel like they're controlling the cards. (I don't know how, but I'd guess it's by controlling the cards we're dealt in some way.)
It passes the time very often and for $40 a year, it could be worse.
