I've never won anything other than wallpaper and screensavers, been playing since day one. I did find something interesting, after browsing through the forum this morning under a thread regarding cheaters ( there were like 8 pages of comments ) what I gather is that the crybabies are more frustrated with those that cheat in word games far more than anywhere else. Perhaps avoiding these would minimize getting caught although as previously stated, just keeping quiet and blocking your profile should cover your butt. I should note that a pogo administrator posted a comment that they don't have nearly the resources needed to follow up on every complaint, as some of these crybabies file multiple complaints almost on a daily basis. These crybabies are probably in fact hurting their cause and helping us. This makes sense, years ago in pogo's infantsy, complaints were followed up on almost immediately and accounts cancelled regularly. I would imagine these days their concern would be more involving complaints regarding real threats, stalking, criminal behavior, ect. and much less involving cheaters after badges and tokens. It would really surprise me, given their resources to police, and the sheer population they've grown to, that they give a rats ass who cheats. Just don't take their money and your safe to go. Just an observation of mine, didn't mean to write a novel.
Do not worry about a novel. Also, Pogo figured out that cheaters in general buy more premium albums and mix badges. Why would they mess with a high-paying customer group that does not tie up admin resources? tumbsup.gif

Don't claim the prize. It doesn't matter if you were cheating at the time or not. If you used cheats even once on your account they will know and deny your claim anyway

Ha ha...thank you all for all the reason why you "cheat"...  tumbsup.gif

I've been playing Pogo for years now and I know what you mean about the chances of winning anything. That said, if you happen to win something do you "just not claim it"?  I don't want to lose my account due to using a cheat so I guess what I asking is how do they find out you are using one.....and what happens if you play something "without using the cheat" and you win something but you've used cheats in other games.....do you still not claim the prize and are you still not qualified?  There are some games I like to play just to play for fun so I don't need to use a cheat. Thanks all for your all your help.

Thanks for the response......next question, what is the point of playing Pogo with cheats if you do not "gain" anything from it?  I guess what I am saying is....I am not gaining any pleasure out of playing the game itself since the "cheat" is playing it for me..........so if I can't claim any prizes other than pogo coins which are really useless....what am I playing for?  Perhaps I am missing something I should know. Just curious and also on the fence as to if playing with a cheat is worth giving up any prize I might down the road win..............if that is even possible with Pogo.

The proper response to the list of questions is answered in my house this way.

I cheat at Pogo because I can. I cheat because I have been a member for nearly 8 years and I do not have time for all the challenges and ranks. I like looking at my badge album and the things I have been able to accomplish with the cheat programs. I can afford Pogo, cheat programs and I pay top dollar for every premium/mix challenge.

Mostly, I cheat at Pogo because it is a healthy outlet. I like watching the cheat program play the various games. So do my boys. It is nice to know the cheat programs are working away on the next goal.

I do not seek approval for my actions and my likes. I cheat at Pogo because it is a healthy habit that does not cost a lot of money. I used to play Pogo when I was getting divorced. Now, I am happily married to a woman that understands Pogo and encourages me to use cheat programs so I can spend time with her. tumbsup.gif

We use the cheats because it's all about the badges. If not for cheats you could spend two or more lifetimes trying to get all the badges manually. There are a few badges that I believe are close to impossible to get manually. The odds of you actually winning a cash prize are so incredibly bad. You are more likely to get hit by a car than win a pogo jackpot. Our website has been around for 6+ years and we have close to 40,000 members and I can count on one hand the number of people who have actually won jackpots.

They can tell if you use cheats but they don't ban people for it anymore as long as you don't talk about it in chat or try to claim a cash/merchandise prize.

The general rules for cheating are:

1. Never claim any cash or merchandise prizes. Wallpapers and screensavers are ok.
2. Don't mention cheats in pogo chat. In fact most of us totally ignore chat period. If you don't say anything you can't get in trouble.

If you follow those two rules you really have nothing to worry about
