Club Pogo Complaints - Wrongly suspended!

Review all Club Pogo complaints

Wrongly suspended!
Complaint Rating:  100 % with 6 votes
Company information:
Club Pogo
United Kingdom
http://uk.pogo.com/action/pogo/login/entry.do?parsid=3850164

I had my Pogo account suspended as it was said that I had used an inappropriate word. The word was incorrectly spelled and was not one I have ever used. Either this was an accidental typing error (I don't recall exactly) or the person who reported me was being malicious. I contacted EA games to explain and only got a standard reply with no evidence or a full explanation. I was a member of Club pogo for some time and even set up a league a few times, but due to one nasty and disruptive pogo player (non-member I might add) I had to shut them down. Pogo did nothing whatsoever about this player, who had spoiled everything for a lot of my league members, this person had used foul language on more than one occasion, but nothing was ever done about this. Due to all the above, I decide that I would not renew my Club Pogo membership as I feel they failed to listen to me several times and did not answer me fully or try to rectify any of the situations. I had made many friends on Pogo, and sadly I have lost contact with quite a few due to this dispute I have with Pogo. I don't feel that I should pay for a service that treats you so badly, yet allows non-members to abuse and disrupt an otherwise pleasant place to meet new people and have fun.

In closure, I strongly recommend Club Pogo, find someway of making sure they look after their members properly and provide proof of any given complaints.

I totally agree with NOT support Club-Pogo any longer! I was being harassed in a game and I told the player to STFU... I got barred from pogo for my language, yet they get to keep their account? After maliciously causing havoc and making hate remarks against Gays/Blacks??? Ironic eh?

Well I have been a paid member since 2003 - until today. I canceled my account along with the other 4 account in which I pay for (My little brothers, my little sisters, my moms, my brother in-laws and my own) Thats over $350.00 in account fees not counting the hundreds in which we would spend for Gems, that POGO will no longer get from us. In all actuallity - For barring me for such small stuff compared to the greater threats and curse words used on Pogo's site by many members.... In a 5 year span looking on at those rates, Pogo will lose approximately $3,000.00 from my bank account alone... Not counting the 17 friends I referred... as they have canceled their accounts as well..

Here's a note to those of you who work at Pogo - Good word of mouth from one person will gain you gain you 10 new accounts in a 6 month period... Bad word of mouth from one person will lose you more than 200 potential customers per year... - National Statistics of Business Reviews 2007

Thanks to those of you to whom I've made friends with on pogo - but no thanks to you (rosenthalles & orcardlily) for reporting me after you continuously bragged about hating gays/blacks on the site.

the week of May 4th I ordered a slingo to go game from pogo, I paid with credit card, sale went through and now I don't know how to access it, especially when I'm offline, I should be able to play offline. My money I paid ($19.95) was taken and now I want the game. I've paid for other games that I never did receive, and is there some way you can check that? games I've paid for and didn't receive? my offline games I have are peggle, and mahjong deluxe. thanks, Patti Kuka

I see some many complaints on Club Pogo anymore and alot about players winning the jackpot and Pogo saying they cheated and that player not getting their money. Pogo has to make so much from all the people who may for the service and yet to get out of paying out they use the same old line "you cheated", myself I have so many problems with paying my service and then all of a sudden not being able to play games and of course they would try to say it was my computer. Calling them other than emailing them is worse every person I talked to was rude and didn't seem to concerned about my problems, so I have decided to not renew when it expires and I have about 10 other friends doing the same thing as I.

pogo does not protect the club members. my account was just suspended today and i was the one that made the complaint about vulgarity in the lobby. this irks me as pogo is not listening and ignoring the issues at hand. when you want to contact them they dont even have a telephone number that you can call which stinks. i have been a paid member for five years and i will not give pogo another dime for this gaming site again. i will inform others about the recent pogo escapades. pogo has now become as bad as msn zone.

if anyone has the pogo telephone number i would like to have it

I completely agree with Peter. My mother won a prize (ipod) through Pogo and was accused of cheating in Word Whomp...a game which she is particularly quick at.
My partner also won an Ipod a few weeks beforehand, just after Pogo UK began, and sure enough, we got an empty box through the post, which no-one seemed to be able to do anything about, either Pogo or Royal Mail. I've seen so many comments and had so many discussions with other players regarding this situation that I'm starting to wonder if anyone actually receives prizes or whether an odd few are sent out just to keep things ticking over?
I've given up on entering the prize draws and such now, as I expect, like my mother, I will also be accused of cheating in word games.
Congratulations Pogo. Somehow you still manage to keep going strong, even though, if you audit yourselves, you might find some "cheating".

I have not been able to get any of my pogo games for the past 3 days. WHY?

Well pogo terminated my account due to my screen name which is ICantGetCrabs due to it being innapropriate and vulgar which regardless of what it means there is nothing about it being that way to terminate my account. I sent them an email stating there was nothing wrong with my name and that I had the account for more then 5 years. If it was innapropiate or vulgar why didn't they terminate it 5 years ago. They sent me one back stating they reviewed my case and it was going to be terminated. I found there number called them told them I wasn't going to change my name I've had it for 5 years either they will let me keep it or they will give me my money back. The guy on the phone said he didn't see anything wrong with my name and didn't know why they wanted to shut it down. He said he would review it and send me an email back on what they had decided. In less than 10 hours, which I'm sure it was less then that it just took me that long to check my email, it simply stated they were sorry for the inconvenience and the account is turned back on. What gets me is even after I sent an email back to them for the situation they still tell me it's terminated. It took me calling them to get any result so maybe thats what you all need to do to get something done about it. Here is there information and this is the number to call 650-628-1500. Hope it helps you resolve your matter. Ask to speak to someone with pogo.
