This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I won a jackpot which was doubled since i have been a member for 4-5 years now. Finally after doing all the links and giving them all the info needed the page said to wait 60 days well 60 days went bye and i emailed them which took at least 6 different times because all they had was some crazy automated email reply then then send me email saying i wont get the money that at some time during my member ship i have cheated, and that it may not have been me but maybe someone using my acct. thats a dang lie and they don't have to prove it they said. I like to play games on the site and never played for the jackpot. If they aren't gonna pay people when they win then don't have it.

I have an unauthorized charge of $39.99 on my credit card. I joined for one year. After joining, the web site would never let me play chess. The web site worked great until I joined. I never gave permission for my credit card to be left on the site nor for any more charges to be put on my card. The credit card has an expired date on it but the company Intrust allowed the charge. I will never pay it. Glad to see that I am not alone in dealing with this company who seem to be scamming people.

I have played as a member of ClubPogo.com for a few years. In the lst 5 months, I cannot stay connected to the site or it's contantly freezing. I pay good money to play these games and it sure rubs me the wrong way when this system fails. I've tried to register complaint on their web site and I haven't recieved a single answer. I've updated the Java and I make sure that my popup blocker is disabled. Other game sites aren't effected. I've had it!

I did not authorize Pogo to charge 39.99 to my credit card. My contract with pogo expired in July, 2008. It was renew without my knowledge.d1

I started an account about a month ago and forgot my password. I gave you the wrong e-mail address and have been trying for 3 days to find out how to contact you with my correct e-mail address of nyc11671@verizon.net to obtain my password so I can continue to play on club pogo. I am aggravated that I have not been able to play for 3 days but had to pay for these days. My account name is CarolynDomin47 and I enjoy playing. Can someone please contact me and give me my password so I can get back on to play games. For some reason my account does not appear when I get into the club pogo icon and I cannot ask it to go into my account because I forgot my password and gave you the wrong address to send me my password so I can continue to play. Please, please get in touch with me ASAP at the correct e-mail and give me my password so I can continue to play. I have missed a lot of badge bonuses because of not being able to play for 3 days. If this cannot be rectified immediately, please refund my money and I will discontinue club pogo. Thank you.

My payment for one year from my checking account was charged without my approval which caused me a problem, It was my understanding that it would not be charged to me until April 1, 2009. Pleased correct this and if it is not then my pogo account will be closed . Please notify me quickly or I shall notify my bank not to accept your payment.
Thank you Mrs. Barbara M. Ronaldo

well this happened to me ...I was in a room playing with another person who was being harassed, we both reported the harraser and then the next thing I know I am banned from playing...I am like wtH? and in regards to your jackpot problems, lemme tell you how they know if you have used a program because pogo OWNS BADGEHELP.COM if you use anything from there they will know it they have trackers on the website, so there ya go, they set you up so they don't have to pay, crappy I know but I am begining to think these people are crooked in every sense of the word!

We were playing free games on Pogo. We really liked one of the games so I decided to join Club Pogo for $29.95. After I gave that information, we can't get on Pogo any more. The site just freezes up so we can't get on. I have sent many E-mails to them trying to stop the transaction as I didn't want to pay for something I can't get. The only way we can play the game any more is through an E-mail that they had sent us and that is it and sometimes we have trouble getting that. Of course they already took the money out of our account. Any information on how to get ahold of them would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

I received an unauthorized charge of 40. 39 for pogo online games. I did not order tjis and i would like this credited to my account immediately. This does not make me happy knowing someone just charges me thinking i wouldn't notice. Please make the correction or i will take this further. Thank - you

This complaint is against a pogo employee who goes by the name beta_pogo. I beat him in a game of 8 ball pool, and instead of taking it like a man...he started to cry about it. He called me a coward after i decided to leave to continue to watch my football game. I wasn't happy with his ignorant comments and decided to go back in and call him out for another game...He [censor]ED out! He reset my points and hid from me like a coward.

Is this what pogo employees are all about?
I have never had a single problem with this company or its employees till now.
I want him removed and stripped away from his title.

Regards,
Abel

Open-beta testing (OBT) of Warhammer Online : Age of Reckoning in Russia was announced to begin on Jan 22, 2009. Company has failed to make it smoothly and client-friendly. Besides, it requires registration to participate, which includes the receiving of the registration key.

The key distribution system is not transparent. Many players have been unsuccessfully waiting for more than 14 hours. Most respective complaints and questions on the official forums are either deleted or banned by the company employees.

As of now some people are trying to sell OBT registration keys. Advertisements were published on the game official forums. One may suspect some employees of the company are involved, as it's quite obvious that OBT key distribution system is vulnerable for fraud and corruption.

I won the pogo jack pot in Pogo Bowl on 10-23-08. It took me faxing my w-9 to them 3x and countless e-mails to receive my check on 1-23-09. I was not happy with the customer service I received from Pogo/EA sports. I think if I would have not been on them daily with e-mails I would have never received my check.
At one point they told me they mailed it but could not provide me with a tracking number, then told me they stopped payment on that check and was sending another.
If you won KEEP ON THEM! BTW I have been a long time pogo clubber and was on a free pass with a new screen name when I won. Makes me wonder why I paid for all those years!
I got a check from them for $2347.50...and it cleared! LOL
