Has anyone here ever one anything on pogo besides wallpapers?
I have been a pogo member for years and never one. The people that I ran into that had one said pogo found some reason not to pay them their jackpot.
For me pogo is lots of fun and worth it because there are so many games avaulable, but I'd like to play somewhere where they actually do pay the prizes won.

I haven't won anything personally, but I have friends there who have. I've also talked to many people while playing games who have won things, and been paid. People who win, but don't get paid, probably have something wrong with their account information. Perhaps they've moved, or changed their email addresses?
If you are wondering what type of company it is, and how ethical they are, you should check the Better Business Bureau. There is a free online website for them. Checking under Electronic Arts (parent company) you will find they have a rating of A. That's almost as high as you can get.

That's good to know that they are rated A. I do like pogo and the amount of games we have available to play there. I was just wondering if in fact they do pay out their prizes.
The people I had talked to said that when they one they had everything ok on their account, but when it came time to receive their prize they were accused of "cheating" using some softwares or something. It's possible as I don't know these people in person so who knows.
Maybe someday we'll get lucky eh :)

A year and a half ago I won $5. I had no problems getting my check and I believe it arrived pretty quickly. Other than that, it's the usual wallpapers and screen savers that I never use. It would be nice to win something different now and then.

I got $5 once but they didn´t pay it as I´m not a US resident. I thought it was not fair. I don´t have access to gems either. Maybe I should be happy though: I would have bought a lot of unnecesary things.
But I do wish we could buy somrthing with our tokens. I have lots and I cdon´t even have anything else to buy at the mini.
Luck with pogo!!!
Luck with pogo!!!

I have been on Pogo for many years and I have only won the wallpapers too. I always read about other people winning actual jackpots.
So people have not received their prizes? I wonder why. Do they have to be a certain age? Maybe live in a certain country? I think I will visit Pogo tonight to see what the rules are and report back.

Many people said they hadn't. They said pogo accused them of cheating and of course they swear up and down that they didn't. It's hard to tell though when you don't know someone personally that was either paid, or said they were scammed but it's good to know that a few people here have received their winnings. It makes me feel much better for sure.

I have heard some stories about the jackpot winners being fake. Someone said once they tried to add a jackpot winner but said winner never did return to pogo. FOr me pogo is a stress releiver. And although I do pay for the year club pogo subscribtion it is so worth it for me.
