Pogo.com started out in 1996 as the Total Entertainment Network (TEN) at the domain Ten.net. The name and domain changed to Pogo.com on September 1, 1999.

While the site originally featured hard-core violent first-person shooting games like Quake and Unreal, it was unable to produce a profit.

After the make-over, the site was transformed into a composite of more family-friendly games. Pogo.com has successfully taken off as a membership driven site under the guidance of Electronic Arts.Costik.com: Pogo.com Article

One of the unique features of Pogo games is the ability of the players to win real cash and prizes from the website.

While players must be citizens of the United States and Canada (excluding Quebec) to win, they are not required to purchase a membership on the site.

There are daily, weekly and monthly cash drawings. In order to enter a drawing, players collect game tokens by playing games online and then submit them once they've gathered enough to enter.

Winners are notified via e-mail when they win.Official Site: Prize Rules
