ahhh that is sad to know. I wondered about that. I ran a cheat one time about 3 years ago.
So this means my dreams of one day winning a big jp are all up in smoke?
  I will never be able to claim a prize?

If you've used an auto, you have violated Pogo's terms of service.  Not only will they not give you the prize (tangible prize, that is - eg money, mugs, shirts, etc), they may suspend/eliminate your Pogo account.  It's best NEVER to submit a claim to Pogo for any prize whatsoever.  Prizes that do not require a claim form don't count.  I won something in Pogo and they sent me a claim form.  I deleted the form.  If I didn't claim the prize in 7 days, I forfeited the prize.  No problem here.  I wouldn't want to risk my account and badges.

For those interested... I think my prize was a mug or something.  It was small.

You can never claim a prize if you have run a cheat program on your account.

I've never won anything but those pesky desktops and screensaver. They just show up automatically.

I won two free weeks of pogo when I was playing ACES UP. Boy ,was I running scared,but no one contacted me or I didn't have to do anything to claim it- It just showed up on my account page. I play very carefully .Don't really want to win anything except for a few gems, they would be nice tumbsup.gif

Silly question, and not that my chances are high, but if a prize is won while not using a cheat, is it claimable?  Or does using cheats mean that you can never claim a money or merchandise prize?

NP, hon.  The only things I've gotten in prizes are wallpaper, screensaver and gems.  All of those DO NOT require a claim form.

But what happens to his account if he wins something big and doesn't claim it?  Anything at all?
No, they don't check unless a claim is submitted.  No claim, no checking.

Ok so just to be sure, I can claim anything minor and I will be ok...but if I try to claim a big prize like a t-shirt or money I will get found out?

If you claim ANYTHING but wallpaper and screensavers then you will be found out. Mugs, $5, $50, tshirts, card games (like the monopoly card game they give out) hats and the like they will bust you.

Wallpaper and screensavers are fine to claim.  Anything else-don't.
