The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the frequency and intrusiveness of ads, particularly after hunts and during navigation. While some users appreciate the option for a membership to remove ads, others feel that a one-time payment model would be more favorable.

“I rated 5 stars because I love Offroad Outlaws and this is the same developer; great game with pretty much no ads.”

“Now they are pushing ads more, making the game unenjoyable so I uninstalled.”
“But the thing that really gets me is forced ads; don't care if they are 5 seconds or a minute, they are stupid popping up every time you try and navigate through something, with no rewards for watching them either.”
