Pogo.com 2

2 stars are for the games: GREAT! BUT, every time they anniounce the winner of a jackpot, I posed the question: "Has anyone here every won a prize on Pogo?" Answers are: "Wallpaper - YES; CASH - NO!"
I pay money to play, but others who do not pay also play, and have a chance of winning money. This does not seem fair.
MY SUGGESTION: Only let non-paying players play for 2 weeks, then decide to join, or stop their playing. That way the paying members will BE ABLE TO GET ON TO PLAY, WILL NOT BE BUMPED OFF, MAY WIN A JACKPOT!
Otherwise, why am I paying? It is just as well to save the yearly fee and play for free...

sounds like a ripoff to me.

You're paying for a bigger selection of games. And why pay anyway. From what I here on my research of the Pogo site is that when someone wins a cash prize, they never receive the cash. Sounds like a scam to me. Go back to the free version and put the money back in your gas tank.

If anything, it would be a scam to make it seem like anyone (subscribers and non-subscribers) can win, and then to only give prizes to the ones who pay for their account. As far as I can tell, everyone has an equal chance of winning. To answer your question "why am I paying," you are paying the money through your own choice. Or, to put it into 6-year-old terms, YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY TO PLAY. Like you said, "it is just as well to save the yearly fee and play for free." So if you feel that way, do it.
