Good Points: 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.
General comments: 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.

This is based on my own opinions from a frustrated pogo member and I have experienced the problems first hand, I find it annoying as a paid up member you have to wait to get on site because there server has broke down or there server is to busy like now you get told to try again later it is not a reliable site to be on if you like your games 24/7.

Have games for every age group - even my grandchildren when I let them play under my supervision. For $40.00 a year it is the most wonderful entertainment going. Thank you pogo.

Pogo is an Onlone game that as far as I am aware dont supply enough band width to get every body to play. They also have some of the most screwed up random number generators, not say any thing about how they do any kind of business .I for one would never join and or play on POGO.

I can't believe that pogo would not renew a friends membership at a lower price, however, they will allow new members to join for approximately $10.00 less than what member (who have been member for years) are charged.

You can't get a refund, you can't cancel without hassle. They kept billing me and only offered to cancel my membership after they had automatically renewed it without my permission. They wont refund me any of the money I have paid and forfeit all of my time I have already paid for.

I think this game site is well worth the money we pay to play because we get more games.

I find Pogo to be a lot of fun. My husband can watch all the sports he wants to now and I can play my games. Keep up with the good work with all your new games. They are so much fun. I like the idea you can report any one that has been using fowl language and such. You have kept it clean and that is appreciated.

Pogo is a great site. You can play for free on many games or you can join as a club pogo.com member and play member only games. You have the chance to win cash prizes. I have been on pogo for several years now and I love it. They have a huge variety of games and is clean and safe for all ages.

Over all Pogo is a lot of fun even though you can't actually win the jackpots.

I have been playing on POGO for over 4 years and never won anything, not a dime and as for the jackpot forget it, it's not for members. After 4 years I would have won even $50 but nothing.

When Pogo first started a few years ago it was great, it was taken over by EA and since has gone downhill.
In the UK you are not allowed to win any money. Membership is available but this is at a premium. If the moderators think you have played the games too long or have used automated playing techniques then you lose all without warning, and their interpretation is final.
You have numerous games on the site from jigsaws to word games, the graphics are basic unless you download a game which ag ...

I think anyone that pays a membership should be allowed to play all challenges and win and be able to win jackpots. Like when we did the Rosie Challenge, people could play but weren't allowed to win.
