How Do You Rate Your Pogo Membership?

Pogo - Pogo Games.

It seems to me that Pogo are really trying to improve the site by adding new games and features. I'm quite impressed by the way they're improving the site, and am happy with the membership charges because of this. I love the new Bingo Luau game. It beats Dottie into a tinned hat, and the extra fast games save you from getting bored. In fact, I got in a bit of a tizzy the first time I played because I couldn't catch up! lolol. Then there's the Word Search game, which I also quite like. The only slight quibbles I have at the moment are that a) I'm a Brit, but my membership fees are the same as anybody else's, yet I'm unable to claim a jackpot payment should I win. This is down to the American gambling laws, I believe. I also can't enty weekly or monthly draws. And, I don't know why, but we can't play for gems either. All in all though, I think Pogo are doing a grand job. What do all my fellow players think?

Pogo - pogo.com is a great site!
Hi Darkwing, hope all is well. I am overall pretty happy with my Pogo membership. I agree that they are making it better, getting more games, and I couldn't agree more that Bingo Luau is WAY better! I get so sick of that Dottie in Fortune Bingo! The only beef I really have is it seems that they try and get money out of you anyway that they can. They are constantly jacking up the price of the membership (I remember a few years ago it started at $14.99 for a year, and now it's $39.99), now you have to use gems for certain badges and items in the mini mall! To me that is just rediculous.

I understand them putting the price of membership up, as they're constantly improving games that are current and adding further games. It's still well under a dollar a week for membership and in the UK it comes out at £29.99, which is just over $60, and that's without the facility of jackpot winning and gems, so all in all, I think the American and Canadian price is somewhat better. Having said that though, I don't mind paying because of the community and the variety of games. I'll answer this only once, my friend! ha ha ha. Brightest Blessings.

Sorry about it double posting my friend! Wow! It does make a big difference for people outside of the US and Canada! Here I thought I was paying an arm and a leg lol. It is true though that the site keeps getting better and better as do the games so I'll stop complaining now lol. I just wish they would pick a price and stick with it or something because I do hate the price hikes every year I go to renew!

I also like the new bingo game I tried tha fast one and I am not sure I like it or not being aawful fast I am out of practice on that one lol, I did nt know that you couldnt win the money over there and I dont even worry about the gems. I think if you pay for it you should have a chance to win something. BUt then I dont worry about that either I turned in over 6 mill points about a year back and never wona dime lol So it went down the tubes, all in all I do like the way they make up new games I got stuck on Hog Heaven there for awhile but still havent got to level 50 lol . Haveing fun playing . Hugs

I tried the superfast one as well, Lakota but I reverted to the fast one, which is not too fast and if you go in on a game which has already started, you have a chance of catching up on the numbers. I actually won a couple of games, and I quite like that one. I'm afraid Dottie gets on my nerves with her accent, her smirking, and juggling with her right boob all the time... most distracting! lol. Pogo have been saying for at least a couple of years, that I know of, that they're going to try and incorporate the UK into their prizes, but as it hasn't yet happened, I doubt it ever will, now! Never mind, as you say, it's a nice place to relax and have some fun with your friends. Brightest Blessings, love and hugs.

I have been enjoying Pogo for several years now and became a Club member about 3 years ago. However I am due up to renew next week and they are AGAIN raising the price. I am not sure that I will be renewing. If they continue to raise up $5 every year per member... they are going to lose alot of us clubbies that have no income and just enjoy playing. I think for $40 I can find other forms of entertainment.. hehe

Sure, it sounds a lot to pay out in one go but if you sit down and think about it, it's still less than a dollar a week, for all those games and the company in there. I don't think it's bad at all. It costs us £29.95 in the UK which is around $60 a year, but it's still quite cheap to me, for such a good site, where you can always enjoy fun and entertainment. Brightest Blessings.

I know someone who a few years back won money from playing one of the Pogo games. But that was before Club Pogo existed. Now I want to know, can you only win the jackpot if you are a Club Pogo member? Am I wasting my time on there just gathering tokens that will really amount to nothing for me? And the draws as well, are they for Club Pogo members only? They may be adding games but there are still games without jackpots and I think you have to be "special" in order to come close to winning the jackpot.

Thank you One, for answering that for me. You seem to have far more knowledge of Pogo's workings than I. Being a Brit, I lead a somewhat sheltered life as far as jackpots are concerned. He he he. However, I feel with the large following Pogo has, there must be some happy players. It doesn't matter a lot to me that I won't ever get the jackpot... I enjoy the games, the friends I have in there, and the challenges, so all in all, I'm happy. In answer to Pat... all members and guests are eligible for prizes, providing they reside in the USA or Canada, at present. This is due to the American Gambling laws, or so I've been told. I have two memberships in there... one has almost 20 million tokens and the other 71/2 million. When people ask me how I've accumulated so many, the answer is easy... I can't use them for anything. lolol. All I can do is dress my mini and give it an environment, in order to reduce my number of tokens. Ha ha ha ha ha Brightest Blessings.

Yeah... I haven't had too much of a problem with other players... they all seem nice enough, except for one or two tussles with kids who come in and try to cause upset. A few sharp words and they're lost, and leave. lol. I love the games in there, and think I'll be a member forever. Brightest Blessings.
