Pogo Daily Sudoku locks up on all of my devices immediately when opened. My desktop, laptop, and phone. This has been the case for months. So I turned to Monopoly Sudoku. Now, starting this week, Monopoly Sudoku is full of glitches. It is not giving us the gold when we win a game, and will just deselect a number as you are choosing their placements. The gold, usually given when you play costs real cash to buy it. Maybe that is the point of the glitch, see if players will buy it?
Pogo's solution to everything is clear your cash and check your system. If there are numerous players reporting the same issues, obviously there is a problem with the game. They could say we are working on it, which is better than blaming the players for the problem. I am very disappointed in their ways of addressing problems. We are paying customers and deserve better treatment than being unable to contact them, and receive no solution for long periods of time, except to say it is our problem!
Hello and welcome to EA Forums for Pogo! I'm sorry to hear you've been unable to enjoy Pogo Daily Sudoku for months, and Monopoly Sudoku is now adding to your frustration this week, that is genuinely concerning and I completely understand your disappointment.

"Pogo's solution to everything is clear your cash and check your system."
You’ll hear this often because those really are the two biggest culprits when playing on a browser‑based gaming site.
Why? Technology has changed. Today’s devices, apps, browsers, and drivers update far more frequently than they did even five years ago.
Browsers, devices, and graphics drivers update every 2–4 weeks, and each update can introduce new conflicts with existing files. When old or corrupted cached data sticks around, our browser may try to load outdated game assets that no longer match the latest version. Clearing our cache forces the browser to discard old files and download fresh ones, which helps prevent loading errors, visual glitches, and performance issues. At the same time, checking our system—especially your graphics drivers, browser version, and OS updates ensure nothing on your device is interfering with the newest game updates.
♻️ Temporary files (which are different from cookies and cache): Are system leftovers that pile up. Temp files are created by our devices, apps, installers, updates, and background processes. Over time they pile up, become corrupted, or conflict with newer system updates. This can slow down our device, cause memory issues, or interfere with how games run.
☎️ Internet routers also need regular maintenance. Firmware updates, reboots, and clearing connection logs because an overloaded or outdated router can slow or block games from loading. Additionally, antivirus programs, browser extensions, ad blockers, VPNs, and custom device configurations can all interfere with how games load or run. Any one of these can block scripts, throttle connections, or prevent game windows from opening.
The most crucial point that every player should be aware of, with all these continuous updates in "Modern Technology" to our devices, the updates can reset/change the settings on our device without our knowledge. An update to the browser, device, graphics drivers, or even the router firmware can silently reset permissions, disable hardware acceleration, reactivate extensions, or modify security configurations.
When this happens, we need to reconfigure our devices once again or at the very least, verify what adjustments have been made after any update.
How a game loads and displays on our devices depends entirely on our configuration and our network environment. Pogo can deliver the game files, but our system is responsible for processing them, rendering them, and displaying them correctly.
If any of those pieces are outdated, corrupted, or changed by an update, the game may not load the way it’s supposed to even though nothing is wrong with the game itself. That’s why maintenance on the player’s side is just as important as updates on Pogo’s side.
A browser-based gaming site differs significantly from casual web browsing, not only in its functionality but also in the number of systems it depends on and its sensitivity to changes.
What can cause ONE game not to load?
There are several browser and device configuration settings that can affect a single game from loading because each game on Pogo is designed differently and requires its own individual resources, permissions, and loading processes.
One or a few of these settings can affect how a game loads and displays.
Outdated browser: The browser can’t understand newer game code, so the game never starts.
Corrupted browser cache: The browser keeps trying to load broken or outdated game files instead of fresh ones.
Corrupted cookies: Login or game‑preference data becomes unreadable, blocking the game from initializing.
Excess temporary files: Too many leftover system files slow the device or cause memory conflicts during loading.
Low RAM: The device doesn’t have enough memory to load all game assets.
Outdated graphics drivers: The system can’t render modern graphics the game requires.
Hardware acceleration turned off: The browser can’t use the GPU, so the game fails to render.
OS updates changing settings: Updates silently reset permissions or graphics options needed for the game.
Weak Wi‑Fi signal: The connection drops while the game is loading assets.
Router needing reboot: Overloaded router memory blocks or slows game data.
Outdated router firmware: Security or compatibility issues prevent game files from downloading.
VPN interference: VPN reroutes traffic, causing slowdowns or blocked regions.
Proxy settings enabled: Traffic is redirected through another server, breaking the game’s connection.
Firewall blocking game traffic: The firewall stops scripts or assets from reaching the browser.
Ad blockers: They block the scripts the game needs to run.
Script‑blocking extensions: They prevent JavaScript from executing, so the game never loads.
Privacy extensions: They block cookies or trackers required for login or game sessions.
Pop‑up blockers: Stop the game window or loading screen from opening.
JavaScript disabled: Game cannot run at all without JavaScript.
Third‑party cookies blocked: Login sessions break, preventing the game from starting.
Incognito mode: Temporary data isn’t saved, causing repeated loading failures.
Browser profile corruption: Damaged settings or extensions interfere with game scripts.
Antivirus blocking scripts: Antivirus flags game files as unsafe and stops them.
Firewall rules changed: Updates silently block the ports or URLs the game uses.
Web‑protection features: These tools block the game’s servers or required scripts.
Corrupted local game files: Leftover assets from older versions conflict with new ones.
WebGL disabled: Many games require WebGL to render graphics.
Browser features turned off: Autoplay, pop‑ups, or storage permissions block the game from starting.
