MomsBassetHound says
Multiple games – 20 in each of 10 games will do it.

Cher says
Anybody else having problems getting in to poker? Only 2 rooms available and both full! Not happy! 🙁
PattiJean53 says
Yes, Cher, I am also having trouble getting into rooms under tabs ‘limit games & ‘just for fun’. Guess I’ll just wait…..
peekay725player says
Yes. I’m having problems getting into a room.
MomsBassetHound says
Make sure you go onto Pogo and post this or go to customer service. That’s the only way you will get more rooms.
Good Luck!

I thought they automatically added rooms for Wednesday challenges. And I’m having trouble getting into a room selecting “Play Robots”. Keeps coming up “There Was An Error Loading Your Game Room”
MomsBassetHound says
And that’s why I told people to notify Pogo. It looks like they forgot.
Suz
Jan says
Happened for both challenges. Didn’t see much improvement later in the day either
sharon says
Under “just for fun”, I show no rooms at all. Have been trying since 7 am (now 9 am) and no luck.
sadie says
yes i am
kathy says

taffy-999 says
I try to play robots in poker since 7am but says not available..
stephanie says
i got in and won two of the hands they did not count ugh
MomsBassetHound says
You have to have a straight or higher for it to count.
Suz
stephanie says
yes i know they both were
mbchiquet says
Very excited I was able to activate 4 badges at once on Yahtzee Party. That’s what I call stacking! Happy badge day everyone!
Gene Starwind says
Someone didn’t do any real thinking about this week and laid on no extra rooms for people to play against the bots.
I managed to slip in, but not before 1000EST. Took me 2 hours to get in. Got the badge and left so someone else could get in.
There is no excuse for this sort of thing. EA seems not to understand the “7P Rule.”
MomsBassetHound says
I know that EA has owned Pogo for about 15 years now. But I don’t think they have much to do with the day to day things on Pogo. Pogo is the one that needed to schedule the extra rooms.
Suz
Curiouskas2 says
Same here, took about two hours of constant checking before I got in, took about an hour to get the badge, and I immediately exited so another player had a spot to get in to play. I feel bad for people who work and will be competing all week to gain entry in to a room unless Pogo adds more rooms that don’t require other players to sit and play with them, or are rated.
Richard Imel says
Noon est. and still no extra rooms in the poker challenge.. Calls to CS are going totally unanswered, so our complaints are like talking to a wall.
Lura says
PSA:
There’s no way to call Pogo customer support. The only way to talk to them on the phone is through their “Call Me” feature, which can be requested for certain issues here:
https://help.ea.com/en/contact-us/new/?product=pogo&platform=pogo
Anyone giving you a number to call for Pogo customer support or Pogo tech support is likely trying to separate you from your money.
Richard Imel says
Sorry, I chose the wrong word, I didn’t mean actual ‘calls’, I meant our complaints to them.
Lura says
Glad to hear it — but I’m glad you used the word “calls” because it gave me another opportunity to give out that really important information. 🙂
kathy says
i did talk to live chat bout the problem with just for fun rooms. he or she said to post the problem in the forums…. so i did gl
kathy says
i managed to get in no limit tournments tab and playing in there . you can play the robots
Joe C says
Hooray!
Two new badges!
pas9156 says
I still can’t get into a room to play robots…There was an error loading your game room
blah blah blah
kathy says
just in pogo has added just for fun rooms yea thanks pogo
Wannabewhizz says
Lura knows best:
“Make sure you go onto Pogo and post this or go to customer service. That’s the only way you will get more rooms.”
I posted in the Forums regarding the lack of rooms.
It’s now 12 noon on a Wednesday and I started at 7:30 am. However, the sun is shining and BadgeHungry has my back. Life is good.
Lura says
That was MomsBassetHound who said that earlier, not me.
Wannabewhizz says
Thank you, Suz. You and Lura are the best!
Wannabewhizz says
At 12:45 pm, Pogo has just opened up more rooms.
Susan says
I got in a “Just For Fun” room and made a private table. This is gonna be a dilly of a badge to get, I’m guessing! All chance, no skill…… = (
PrairiesDweller says
For Poker you have a very good chance to win if you get a straight or better.
My strategy is simple: Play it like it is a slots game – just click on Call/Check while I do something else.
Note: No credit for the badge if you win a Split Pot!
virgonana says
Got the Poker badge in about an hour, once I got in a room. You DO get credit for split pots, as I had 3 of them and received credit for each one.
PrairiesDweller says
Glad to know you got credit for a Split Pot. I played a hand where the 5 face up cards were a full house so the 3 bots and I all won. But the “win” didn’t count towards the weekly for me.
Jon C says
Yahtzee finished about 2 hours and No Limit Poker finished about 1 hour
