After 4 years of playing Pogo games, I happened upon this site :-* after a hint from another player in a chat room.  I probably use it more than I should, and am slowing down :-[.  I have heard of many people who have lost their winnings and even been kicked out of Pogo and they never used an auto-play.  All they did was use one of the glitches that sometimes allows you to get a badge faster in a challenge.  If I ever get caught, I will have to accept consequences.  >:(  Is it possible to get back into Pogo with another screen name and charge card if you get booted, or must one open a whole new account and identity??  Would appreciate any answers or opinions.  Has anyone heard of anyone getting audited or booted without winning a prize which triggers an audit?

If booted, you are able to get a different screen name and account.
Glitches are not allowed, according to the Pogo TOS.
I hope you never get booted.

I would do the same thing Barb...

Here's how far gone I am:

I had a dream that I got a gold BlackJack on Buckaroo Blackjack. With the Jp at $50.   And was trying to hit the hand to bust it....

No kidding.

I am not bogus enough to even attempt to claim a Pogo prize, if given the opportunity.  I would probably contact them and tell them the truth, ask to be able to keep my account and go back to getting all those pretty pretty badges.

I wonder does pogo use a different jackpot spinner for outside the country that has no cash prizes?
Or does pogo hope someone from another country hits the JP, reset it to $50 and have to pay nothing.
Because I think we the auto players should have an option to opt out of jackpot prizes.
Ok, we cheat, you know we cheat but we still pay our club member dues.
Let us go around hording all the badges and you all can keep your 1 in a gazillion chance of a jackpot.

Hi All
I am in the UK and I too cannot claim any of Pogo's prizes.I don't mind, I knew this on joining, I have some lovely friends on Pogo and have lots of fun.I know of loads of people from the UK who play and aren't eligible to claim..I pay my money to join Pogo anually and get nothing so I figure if the odd person is using an auto and wins a prize then what's the harm? If that's the case then everyone who can't win should get the membership for free because we can't win!! It shouldn't be one rule for us one rule for Pogo..It is unfair.

There's my 2p lol  :P

As an Aussie player I can't win prizes ( apart from wall papers etc) and when Pogo have their donate your token appeals I always donate so it saddens me that players who win and then are accused of cheating ( even if they are not ) are denied their winnings. I am sure there are thousands of Aussies , Kiwis and Quebecians? who pay and play and are not entitled to prizes.I knew when I signed up I would not be eligible for prizes but it seems unfair that those who can win are hampered by red tape

If I ever win a jackpot, (which will be right after I get struck by lightninig twice), and Pogo tries to get out of paying by saying that I use autos, which I don't, I'll see them in court.

I guarantee you this...  If Pogo (or Electronic Arts rather), keeps up this BS about not paying off on prizes, the WILL find themselves on the other end of a class-action lawsuit.  You can NOT conduct business this way, and all it will take is one user with the guts to stand up and say ENOUGH!

"Food for thought"
Did you know if you get struck by lightning, then you have a better % to get struck again, before someone does for the first time.

Really?  I did not know that...  That is some wild and wacky stuff....

My opinion is they only audit your account if you win a cash prize.

Does anyone know what kind of time frame an audit takes? and how far back does an audit of one's account go back to? and will they only audit an account if they win money and or a prize? like if pogo so and so pops in a room where u are and he is looking in your badge collection and sees tons of game badges won all very close in dates do you think they would audit you?
Thanks for any info given

I tell you all something that really sucks also. Is when a friend offers to do a badge for you to help you and they use an auto. Even though it wasn't you and you win a prize you won't recieve it. I think thats just down right wrong. I don't see what the big deal is its just a game. Pogo suppose to be fun so who gives a rats ass if people use auto's. I don't see why people who win jackpots or other things should be denied their prizes. If they weren't using auto's when they won then let them keep it. Pogo just needs a good kick in the ass and someone to stand up to them otherwise they will contiue to RIP off members!!!
ITA. That's exactly what happened to me while entrusting a friend to my account. Ever since I feel as though my account has been tainted. Now days it doesn't feel as though using an auto would change anything one way or another. It's already been done without my permission and there is nothing I can do to change it. The fact is, it should have been my decision to make. Not a rant really. I take responsibility for allowing myself to share my account.
