RESOLVED: Allow paid users to invite free players to games

Hi, 

IIhaven't been able to find an answer to my specific question in previous posts. I want to get together with friends to play online. Before I pay for an account, I would like to know if I can start a game and invite my friends with free accounts to play with me. I have no problem paying for an account, I already have an EA pass for my Xbox. What I don't want is for my friends to have to pay for an account to play with me. 

Can a paid user invite specific free users to a game? If so, how would I go about doing it?

    @Kel_Theem_al 

    Thank you for clarifying! apologies for the information I provided, you will be able to get them on premium games/features through a feature Pogo has called "Club Pogo Guest Pass".

    We have a walkthrough guide on or help site here, that will walk you through sending it to them, and how they can access it. Please keep in mind it is timed, and you will get a new one to send out after each month. 

    If you have further questions please let me know!

    Regards,

    @Kel_Theem_al To confirm are you asking in regards to Club Pogo or EA Play on Xbox?

    If your asking for Club Pogo, then it would depend on the game, Free Users will not get access to Premium Games without joining club pogo.

    Thank you for your reply. This is completely separate from my Xbox gaming. I only mentioned EA Play for reference and to give an example that I have purchased a memberships in the past. I am more than willing to purchase a Pogo membership in addition to my EA Play. We will be playing on our respective computers, not the Xbox. 

    Spades HD is the only game we will play on Club Pogo. They will only play if it does not cost them any money, so I volunteered to incur the cost.  Is Spades HD a premium game?

    If my friends ( who are all non-gaming, not the most computer literate bunch of middle age card players) can't play with me for free, then Pogo does not meet my needs. 

    Sincerely,

    Synkai Harrison
