Pogo ads bogging down my computer

Pogo game site really slows down my computer with its ads. I'm not ad free, and i dont mind watching ads. But when you cant play for 30 seconds without an ad its annoying. Is there any setting i can use to stop my computer from slowing to a hault while playing. Thank you for your advice.

  • Hey @imakin1 

    If you are playing on a free account, we are unable to get around watching ads as this is a part of playing the games for free. 

    However, if you are seeing your device slow down in performance overall there are a few things you can run through to see if your performance improves. 

    • Check for updates on your web browser
    • Check for device and driver updates
    • Allow your browser and Pogo through any security you have
    • Close any other tabs and closing any other running programs
    • Clear your cache and cookies

    If performance still seems to be slow, let us know and we can try additional steps.

    How can I stop these pop-up ads?  I pay an annual membership fee so that I won't have to have my games interrupted by ads.
