On Pogo’s home page, there is a banner near the top that advertises the GSN game website that reads: “DOUBLE YOUR MONEY AND GET 30,000 TOKENS AND A UNIQUE MINI ITEM.
Does anyone know what this mini item is, or even if this is for real? When I clicked on the GSN website, there is no mention of a “mini” as far as I can tell.

quite confusing to say the least.. pogo stopped using tokens for chances to win jackpots.. also the large jackpots in the spin.. confused as to which was due to gambling laws.. but now to get an item for our mini.. we are to put money in an acct elsewhere.. isnt that gambling…smh
No, it’s a sponsored mini item….just like the ones I have from helping Haiti and the American Heart Association.
Yes, this IS Gambling! And the mini item is just an enticement to get you to sign up and join a money making, GAMBLING website! It is in NO WAY the same as making a DONATION to a legitimate cause to HELP people in NEED!
But it’s still a sponsored mini item, which was my point. It’s not available from Pogo directly.
There was another large sponsored promotion from Dr. Pepper a few years ago. There were multiple mini items and even a Clue episode that wasn’t available to anyone else.
Yes, there was, and I got all of the items, BUT, they were in NO WAY connected to a GAMBLING website which is the point luvtewplay2 was trying to make.
Is actually a restricted sponsored item, for new accounts only – per Bret, anyone who created and added money to a GSN account prior to October 21 is ineligible. Therefore is only available to a certain subset of Pogo members. In the past, members could participate in mini item sponsored promotions regardless of prior history.
I thought her point was about the changes made on Pogo b/c of the gambling laws. This is for a link to a totally different site (b/c it’s sponsored) and has no bearing on the Pogo site and gambling laws.
Flower – In addition to that there are many that can not participate due to where they live.
If you don’t want to pay money to a gambling site, then don’t. I am intrigued by them dangling a mini item in front of my nose, lol. I only deposited 10 dollars and I can get no “deal” confirmation, so I created a ticket in GSN. If I learn anything I will share it. Has anyone else that IS a cash player ever redeemed an offer for tokens before? Did you get a confirmation or did you have to keep a close eye on your Pogo account to make sure you actually got said tokens? They make it difficult by making this offer to “new” players. I have NO idea what to expect or how to get what they advertise.
I have the offer, but have no intention of spending $10 for a mini goodie.
I hope you are able to get the item.
Thanks Moms. Have you seen what I’ve posted in the forums in Bret’s thread? When you say, you have the offer, does that mean you have a page open that will accept your credit card info and displays the details of THIS promotion? When I did that, it only gave me some bang up spiel about me being a first time depositor and “here’s your 15 dollar game credits!” lol. I just want confirmation. I plan on winning the ten dollars back! ~*winks*
I didn’t go further than the page with the mini offer in red, other than to read all the rules for the site.
Thank you for answering me Suz! Much appreciated!
little – You’re very welcome! Let me know if you are able to get the mini item.
Good Luck!!
im not a gambler.. so i wont be taking advantage of this offer.. i spend enough for gems to buy mini items …i wonder WHY would i spend good money to join a gambling site to get a mini to add to my closet of things that i will probably never use and never find again.. i already have items i just had to have and not only havent i ever used them.. i forgot more than half of what i already have..but yes i had gotten the dr pepper items.. that wasnt gambling that was saving bottle caps was it not..so i had my friends and family save me the caps.. wonder why pogo is going this route..
beyechonjr..One reason I play on GSN at all..is that I was a huge Boggle Bash addict. That’s what got me on Club Pogo in the first place to avoid the ads in Boggle,,BUT when they converted that game to Flash, they even reconfigured the game play and it totally ruined the game for me. When I play Scrabble Boggle on GSN, it doesn’t lag and the letters don’t stick and I actually get to enjoy the game again even though I still miss the element of team playing. I had been playing the free games there, but yesterday I was winning my money back from my deposit for the mini item. I just want to have fun! The mini item, if I get it, is just a bonus!
Update~I just received an email from GSN regarding the ticket I opened yesterday concerning this promotion. Apparently they don’t understand what I’m asking for. When I clicked on this offer and then made a deposit, ALL I wanted was a message from them saying THIS: “Congratulations! You will be receiving your tokens and mini item for making this deposit and upgrading your account! Now enjoy the games!”
What I got from them today was just a reiteration of the “terms of the offer” which anyone can see regardless if they redeem the offer. NOT the same thing and NOT what I was asking for, but..it it what it is.
