If pogo is gambling, does that mean that we can all claim the cost of membership, albums, gems, etc. on our taxes this year as "gaming losses?" I think we might be on to something here...

DH sez that it isn't technically gambling - it's more like a random drawing...

However, I like the idea of writing it off on my taxes!  VV

Well a few years ago when I was working at a job I tried to get on and my company blocked it, the message it gave was "this is a gambling site" lmao.

If you want to get technical you do pay "real money" to play pogo... at a chance to win a jp.  So that part yes makes it gambling. Even though alot of us could care less if we won or couldn't claim it anyway  :))

There are slots, poker, blackjack.... all require wagering.... hmmmm.... another tax deduction.... think if I bet 10,000 tokens I can count it as dollar and deduct it?

I had an arguement with a friend. I stated that pogo is not a gambling site as we do not make and wager, only get a reward for completing a task. He claims that having jackpots automatically make it so. (even though children can play)
