When I still had my free account status (up until 7 months ago), I used the 3 daily unlocks when I could to play Mahjong Garden. I found that I was most likely to get them if I tried right after midnight EST, but often they were all used up.
I wrote to EA help after several weeks of no daily unlocks and asked why they were always used up. The answer I got was this-
1) There are only so many allotted per day. Once they are used, they are used. Try to play right after midnight EST, when the new allotment starts.
2) To allow the daily unlocks for free accounts, the games must have a sponsor, the ad you have to watch before you can unlock the game. Sometimes there are no sponsoring companies for the games, so there will be no daily unlocks for some or all of the games if there are no sponsors.
The daily unlocks are not guaranteed by Pogo, so you may find days, weeks or longer where you cannot unlock one of the games on your free account. Which is what led me to Badge Hungry, GiftHulk, Recyclebank and My Coke Rewards, and getting Club status for “free”. I also found InstantGiftCards (IGC), which has no Pogo rewards, but lets me earn money, paid in a check, to get cash to buy gems.
If you look over Badge Hungry, you will find links to RecycleBank, My Coke Rewards and GiftHulk to be able to get Club time for just a little time and work, no credit card needed. I started using them in October of last year, and am now paid up on Club time until September of 2018, and am so glad I found Badge Hungry and these ways to play my favorite Club games, since the daily unlocks are not always available.
Thank you Batty. I have my KittenTwo5 account so I can play my games as a club member. I was just wondering cause I opened a free pogo account. I’m not staying up till midnight lol just to play a game I can play anytime on my paid account. I really appreciate you taking the time to answer though. Now I have answers for those friends who may ask.
I agree Badge Hungry ROCKS. We find out so many things and get help from people like you and of course, MomsBassettHound. She’s fantastic. Lura who monitors this site is fabulous. What would we do without her? No Badge hungry, I guess.
Thanks….
No Badge Hungry? I shudder to even think of that! Honestly, when my account was free, I played only once in a while. Since finding Badge Hungry, I have become a true Pogo addict, as well as a badge Hungry Fanatic and addict as well! And I agree with you… Lura, Moms, and all the other fantastic people on BH are the best and make it the ONLY Pogo fan site I will ever use!
Glad I could give you an answer. I know how frustrated I was when the daily unlocks were seemingly always used up, even at midnight when they were supposed t roll over. So I am guessing that Pogo is just going through one of their times where they have no sponsors for the games. Hopefully that will change soon for your free account and all the other free accounts out there. It’s hard to get free players to decide to become Club members if they can’t play the Club games that got some of us hooked on Pogo…

Pogo without BH would be like bread without water :)
I get sick just thinking about it.
