Redeem your 
Early Access is all about taking Pogo into the future, but we set aside a place to showcase your history of winning on Pogo Classic.
On March 10, look for the new Classic Library tab in your profile on Early Access to…
- Check out your final token count and see just how many you racked up over the years.
- Access your Mini and inventory of items.
- View your collection from Badge Central.
- See all the Ribbons you earned in Club Pogo Tournaments.
- Redeem older EA Game Cards for Pogo Gems or Club Pogo subscriptions.
Here’s how you can always get to the new Classic Library tab:
Click your avatar in the top-right corner of Early Access.
Select the “My Profile” link.
Look for the “Classic Library” tab, located next to the “About Me” and “My Rewards” tabs.
You can also follow the link below to your profile and select the tab from there.
We’re continuing to expand Early Access with more games and features, so stay tuned!

Early Access is for children. Everything from the games, to the way too cutesy graphics in this blog post, suggest to me that after 20+ years of Club Pogo, it is simply not for me anymore. There is nothing about early access that strikes me as interesting to those over 12 years of age. One more reply of mine that will obviously be removed. You only post the positive replies. So after 20+ years of clubbing with Pogo, my last reply to a blog post will be deleted. How sad.
Hi ChillyBT,
Thank you for being a part of Pogo for the last 20 years. I appreciate your feedback and your comment has not been deleted.
It is my hope that you do not cancel your Pogo membership. You’re an appreciated part of the Pogo Community and it would be a heartfelt loss to us.
Thank you
What a great feature. Love the set up. Great job Pogo staff!!
Wonderful! But I also have a question – where will we find “in-game” badges? They are not technically “challenges” but some games have a major volume of them. Jewel Academy for example as well as many others. In the Classic Pogo format they are included in the column on the right of the game page .
Thank you for giving us a path to our historical events. Exciting!!!
Hey Pogo Team,
GBU all 2.
Well done. Love the idea of our “private library.” Hint: My preference on books, would be some Louis L’aMour and Jean Aul, prehistorical ice age books, which I own all of his (100), and have 14 different ice age authors. Love the idea of our “mini” still being used in our profile.
Looking “forward, this weekend, 3/7/2020, “spring forward”, to what is coming to Pogo.
GBU and yours.
Glad to know that all is not lost. You did well to preserve my earnings and my history from years on Pogo. I am looking forward to all the new developments coming to the game site. I’m having fun playing on early access. Thank you.
Thank you, Willowrn44!
I don’t like the new pogo not going to rejoin
Hello,
It is my hope that you do not cancel your Pogo membership. You’re an appreciated part of the Pogo Community and it would be a heartfelt loss to us.
I appreciate your feedback on Early Access. Thanks again for reaching out. I am here for you!
I need to amend my question about in game badges (like jewel academy and others – I know there is a massive library album that includes them (and the few hundred HOG game episode badges) but I specifically mean on the GAME page – not a massive album of thousands of in game badges. When I look on the right side of the Jewel Academy game page – I see all of them, and rank badges, in the right column. So where will that info be found on the individual game page?
To find Challenges on Early Access, please select “Challenges” from the drop down menu and then scroll down to the “browse all challenges” feature and you can filter out to exactly what you’re looking for. You can also view your Badges under My Profile and then select My Rewards.

it looks wonderful : )
and looking forward to seeing how
it all comes together!
Pogo needs to make ALL the games available to be played in the Classic Mode. I think it’s ignorant of Pogo to force us to go into the new mode to play the new games.
Things like that will make members like myself either withdraw or just not renew our membership.
What this means is that you need to change your ways or fold your division.
Hello LckyBck7,
The Pogo team and I understand you are upset due to some of your favorite Flash games retiring. This decision was made as Java and Flash are being phased out across the Internet. While the retirement date of Flash is stated as end of 2020, please understand that the makers of Flash, Adobe, are retiring features within Flash prior to that. These features may be needed to play Pogo games. The Pogo team is working overtime to transfer over player-favorite Flash and Java games before this happens. This also means they need resources to do so and supporting Java and Flash games are not conducive to that.
The even better news is your favorite Java or Flash games may not be gone forever. The team and I are here listening and reading your game requests for potential future HD transfer. Games like the player favorite, Jungle Gin, which was released last week. We also have a number of new and transferred games in the works including Canasta, Spades, and Dice City Roller. I will always keep you posted on the Pogo Insider with all game developments.
Thanks again for reaching out to me about your feelings on the Flash game retirements. I am here and listening to you all.
This announcement has really turned me around. I’m so glad we’ll be able to view our old albums (and hopefully Premium albums as well). I hope this means that we can see the badges in their original sizes, and not thumbnails, though.
The Tournament ribbons are important to me since my team and I worked hard every week for 2 years to earn them.
Like everyone else, I also love my Mini closet! I’ve accumulated quite a collection over 10 years. When I was a little girl, my parents got me a Green Acres paper doll book, and I played with it all the time. The Minis are kind of like that, but way better. I’m so glad my Mini will be with me through all the changes.
Thank you!!
Hi greentwilit,
I’m so happy to hear this! You honestly made my day. Please that the Pogo team really is listening and working on so much for y’all!
Take good care.
Bring back Bowling I am going to miss my friends Bring back the chat bar and the faces. They don’t move at all on Gin which is awful
Any chance of cribbage or dominoes returning to Pogo?
Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I have been a Pogoist (is that a word – lol) since 2000 and am glad all my hard work (cough cough) has been documented in the new Pogo.
Absolutely. Thank you, Btns5!
We thank you for bringing more games to early access . and i hope we can play rated in some games and please pogo keep in mind we do not like our avatars i watch in lobby as i play what people say I think they hate them as much as i do . please change them we loved our mini so much
You’re very welcome, Passion226!!
Great job Pogo! Thank you for continuing to expand all the features and games on the New Early Access Site! Good things come to those who wait :)
I love all the new changes keep up the good work 🌵
but are we going to be able to wear our minis?
Sounds good!
But I have a couple questions.
Points 2 & 3, When you say we can “Access your Mini and inventory of items” and “View your collection from Badge Central” it means we will be redirected to Pogo Classic?
And if yes, what happens in the future when Pogo Classic disappears for good or are you keeping Pogo Classic up and running for ever?
Hiya Vane!
Good to see you over here.
Yes, that means you’ll be redirected to Classic. I do not have the answer to your second question at this time and oh how I know many are wondering. So I promise you that once I know, I’ll let you all know.
Thank you!
What happens to all our minis? Anybody will answer to me? Took years and years to make the screenshots using our hardworking tokens and spending gems to get some extra nice things.You said earlier that you know how much they meant to us but now with this avatar setup I can’t see it. Please reply, I’m not negative, but desperate to find this out.Thank you…
Hello,
I have great news for you as Minis are a part of Early Access. Minis are still fully available on the classic site. Please click here to learn more about Classic Library and how you can use your Mini as an Avatar on Early Access. Thank you!
I am SO HAPPY to see the details in our profile’s. Maybe I’ve previously missed that you can select a favorite badge(s) again!? The fact that we will/do have access to all of OUR hard earned badges is ONE of the many cool aspects of YOUR hard work in creating a new Pogo experience!! Can’t wait to see all my mini items in the new Pogo! So glad you have listened to your players and incorporated a way to save most of our concerns! We may have lost some much loved games, but I have a feeling that many will return. Please, KEEP UP THE AWESOME WORK!
Thank you thank you thank you, wrghtshrry1!
i look forward to checking out the library. sounds like a good bridge from info on classic pogo to early access. thank you.
like i said before, you only reply to povitive reactions!
Hi rightontime500,
I like to have a good balance, actually. Thank you!
when I commented before it was not on here, because it was neither bad nor good but depressing about all my friends quiting, and I have lost 3 more, especially after the LONNNNG tourney which they gained nothing and no Kudos at all! Whats up with that? Well I will be the next one after allot of years!
Hi again rightontime500,
I do love and appreciate your comments so much! They are an excellent source of feedback and I love interacting with you all through these comments. However, I do receive hundreds (yes, hundreds) of comments and I do like to take my time and read each one.
This means that blog comments do take some time to be approved, however, as it takes a lot of time for me to read through the comments that I receive.
Please have patience and understand that I will get to the blog comments each week, though not always on the same day that the blog is published as I need to take time to go through all of them, on top of my other work tasks.
Also of note: I moderate blog comments just as all other blogs moderate comments, from major publications like national news outlets – and Pogo is no different. Moderating comments allows for a safe space where people can share their thoughts without threat of repercussion. Additionally, moderation also ensures content published is of high quality and is helpful in nature. From there, I strive to do my absolute best to represent a balanced perspective (both positive and negative). Repetitive comments (meaning multiple players are posting the same comment), or unhelpful commentary (meaning it’s not actionable and no good can come from it), are not publicly shared. Again, I do read each and every comment that we receive as I go through to moderate them.
Thank you again for all of your feedback. It’s a pleasure to have the opportunity to hear from you, and I really look forward to reading your comments on the blog each and every week.
N o W you are taking all badges and scores away? I cant do this anymore after all these years ! I am using my gems tonite, excluding my money and am gone!
Hello Rightontime,
Your Badges will remain. To find Challenges on Early Access, please select “Challenges” from the drop down menu and then scroll down to the “browse all challenges” feature and you can filter out to exactly what you’re looking for. You can also view your Badges under My Profile and then select My Rewards.

are we going to have a new picochle game coming
what ha[happens to my club membership? Im not happy with this change
Hello RedLadyBug,
I’m not sure I understand your question. You are able to keep your Club Membership and renew as usual. Can you please let me know what changes you are not enjoying so much? Thank you.
i would hope most of the games you are taking off come back in HD form. the premium badge albums we have purchased will we lose those or keep them
I dont even know how the hell to get on the early feature and i have tried, maybe cause Imiss many of the card. at least i have a cleaner house then when i stayed on pogo most of my time. have a great night.
Pogo has done it again folks ! Great games as always ! thank you Pogo for giving us a wide variety of games to choose from! I haven’t had any issues with any of the games I have played ! Loving how they all load so quickly!
Hiya justplainkrazy!
A very big thank you for the feedback on great games! Which are your fav?
WILL EA GAME CARDS BE COMING TO AN END? OR CAN WE STILL PURCHASE THEM AND USE THEM ON THE NEW ACCESS WHEN IT STRTS ON MARCH 13TH? THANK YOU:)
Hi BOWLINMAMA,
EA game cards are still happening and you can still purchase them and redeem them on Pogo Classic. Thank you for asking and for your support of Pogo.
All I’m going to say is.. if it costs me a fortune even after I pay for a membership to play pogo I probably won’t stick around. After 14 years or more I won’t pay for gems and power ups just to be able to play pogo. I can see that’s where you’re heading with the changes. Too bad.
Cautiously Optimistic
So here goes my 1001 letter to you. Why do you have me under the name Weebuns when I last was KT Pardy? Even more so why do you keep taking money out of my checking for my yearly fees but won’t let me in to play ????????????????? This is the biggest rip off I have ever come across. I will never ever tell anyone to pay to play this game. What gives you the right to just take money out of my account anyway? Stop it !!!
Hello Weebuns,
I am so sorry to hear you’re experiencing this with your accounts. Unfortunately I’m unable to troubleshoot here on the blog. Please reach out to EA Help and they will be able to assist you. Thank you!
Are our Minis (carefully collected over many years) going to show anywhere? I love seeing holiday costumes on fellow players.
so, will we be able to use our minis instead of avatars? If so, will all the mini items we purchased still be available?
I really like most of the things about POGO. But the one thing I cannot handle is the background music on most of the games. I can’t listen to the sound effects of the games because I have to mute the sound of the music. Some of the games you can mute the sound and still listen to the sound effects but not many. Please get rid of the music it is horrible to listen to.
IS THERE GOING TO NE CHAT WITH ALL THE GAMES? WILL IT BE ON THE SIDE? I SURE HOPE SO AND GOT MY FINGERS CROSSED YOU BRING BACK OUR DOMINOES GAME SO WE CAN PLAY WITH OUR FRIENDS. GIN IT IS SO HARD TO FIND FRIENDS ON THERE.
Hi Louiemu,
Yes, chat is on the way!
really going to miss all the games upset but I guess I have no choice going to have to give it a try but still sad miss all the games I have played over 15 or more years
Hello nikitatye,
Thank you for being a part of Pogo for 15 + years.
It is my hope that you do not cancel your Pogo membership. You’re an appreciated part of the Pogo Community and it would be a heartfelt loss to us.
I appreciate your feedback on Early Access. Thanks again for reaching out. I am here for you!
Dont like it will never like it.I`m losing to many games I do like for games I could care less about. I just want my pogo bowl back ugh

Are we gonna loose our Premium Badge Albums we have? If so that is not right. I know thee won’t be any more. But to take away what we have payed for with a lot of gems. Just isn’t ! We worked hard for those for those and payed a LOT OF GEMS!! We need to be able to go back and look at what we accomplished.If is same as stealing from us.
Hi Tweety,
No you will not lose the Badges you have. All will remain in your collection. Thank you.
I can’t wait until this feature comes out on the 10th of March now that
is going to be way cool and exciting to see this go back in time lol .
Thank you so much Pogo and the Forum Mods you do so much for the members
of Pogo and we appreciate that. ♥♥
Sadly the past is not the future.
How are we suppose to get the LAST RANK BADGES in Solitaire Gardens ? We should be able to start the Games from the Ranks we are on.Paying for our MINI Items many want their Mini & Backgrounds we buy Gems for money & many bought MINI ITEMS Losing them is unfair as we bought them for GEMS.Find Friends isn’t easy on early access . Jungle Gin needs fixing have no control over the cards in our hands . When trying to arrange them .
That’s wonderful that we can view our old minis. I was afraid they would be lost forever. I’ve enjoyed dressing up my mini and giving gifts to others. Is there any way we can copy and save our minis? Keep up the good work and keep the new games coming. Thank you.
You say our minis are being moved over to the new side but my question is are we going to be able to USE our minis over there or are we going to only be able to use your avatars?
I am looking forward to all the changes. I am having a positive experience so far and having a fun, relaxing ‘me time’ while playing my favorite games.
I’m getting better at navigating the new Pogo site!!!! Hoo-ray for me and everyone else Hurry with the Pogois!!
This is excellent news, jzz4u! Way to go on mastering Pogo Early Access!
Sounds like a great idea. Thank you guy,s :-)
I do not care for the new pogo It is childish in looks and in the game changes……As an older adult, I prefer games that challenge me, not entertain me…….I have been with Pogo a long time, but I do not see a renewal in the future
