I just signed up for pogo today. Have any of you been here? Everytime I run out of the $50.00, they give me another $50.00. I am in a room with someone that has 3 million tokens. It also says you can win cash prizes. What do you think of this? Nobody asked for a credit card and it isn't real money. Why do they advertise real prizes? Is this a ploy to get to you to online gamble for real?

It's an online game?

I would think it'd be keeping you away from real gambling, no? You'd get addicted to playing this, trying to get more tokens to get a prize, instead of something with real money.

Long time since I visited Pogo
I was up to over 50,000 playing Blackjack and Word Whomp? also roulette
That was before I discovered the Answerpoint site
I always look for the freeplay area on these sites.
Try www.simslots.com and you can "donate" some of your winning towards a $500 prize monthly(also other prizes). They also have a pay section but the free section is good value SmileI'm up to 21,000 credits (few jackpots in here) Wink More with submitted entries for draws. WinkLinks to similar sites.
Several Lottery sites have gaming sections attached,but again check the eligibility ,and some don't like visitors from abroad Confused MadBut if they let you play for free that's OK Wink
Tip The chat on Pogo is rather poor .Just lurk!

It is an online casino game site but you use chips they give you and not real money. I haven't paid real money (nor would I) for any of it.

Are there real prizes with the fake money they give you? Why or how could they do this? What are the drawings for?

They're probably real prizes. They get you coming back to the site which is good traffic. I'm guessing they have a lot of ads around the site, right?

You just brought back a memory the very first person to say Hello to me on any site was on the "Chat" the Slingo game room at AOL
I think this is a good target to aim at if you want to find people like ourselves and throw some invites? Wink
There is also the main site with all free games
www.slingo.com. I expect the Slingo Area to be quite busy (Must register to play)

I am really getting addicted to euchre over there. This is sooooo cool. There is a little spot on the screen to chat with your partner and the people playing. The people there are really nice too. Smile

P.S. I do just HAPPEN to mention AP when I am there. Roll Eyes Wink

I used to play Triviathon when it was there - gone the last time I looked.

"I am really getting addicted to euchre over there...''

What IS it about Michiganders and euchre? The Wife's family (Detroit, Marine City and thereabouts) all play; the first time I heard about it was from an ex-Michigander down here.

I use to play euchre on pogo a long time ago, until I discovered MSN's gaming zone:

Click Euchre

The setup requires a passport, but if you use msn messenger you just use your email address, and create a nickname. Have fun, euching!
