While labeling any online gaming site as “the best” is bound to be met with objections, there is one site that ranks among the very best the internet has to offer.  Pogo. Com just celebrated their 10th anniversary and is still going strong with over a million paid subscribers. But the best news of all is you don’t have to pay a dime to play over 100 games, varying from card to puzzle to casino to arcade and sports.  Pogo also offers all it’s users the chance to win prizes using tokens won from the games.

What’s the catch? There isn’t one.  Anyone can register to play – it’s free – or play as a guest without registering at all. Pogo offers a large variety of games to it’s non-subscriber members that are divided into applicable categories, making favorites easy to find. Some of the free games include:

The above list is a small sampling of free games available at Pogo but showcases the wild appeal of the site to people of all ages and either gender. But that’s not all.  When you register, you are given a “Mini” – a small animated portrait you can dress up in various outfits or costumes, change the background, add pets and other items to customize any way you chose, though profanity is strictly prohibited and everything offered is family friendly.

There are also badges for each game to earn as an extra incentive to playing well and often.  The badges are displayed in an album, available for purchase, or on a separate page.

Chat options are available in each game, allowing users to communicate with each other and keep in touch with the friends they make on the site.

In addition, Pogo offers two ways to win prizes daily. One is by entering the drawings, held daily, weekly or monthly with the tokens won after playing games.  The second way is to play any game with a jackpot. After the game concludes and a spin is earned, a prize or tokens is won.

And that’s just the free stuff.

So what is the benefit of being a member?  Access to over 40 premium games for one, allowing the user to play any game offered on the site. There are also no add interruptions, double jackpots, exclusive mini items at discounted prices, private chat and game badge challenges. You can pay for a membership one of two ways.
