The monetization strategy of the game heavily relies on frequent advertisements, which players find excessively disruptive to gameplay. Many users report ads appearing every few minutes or even during active play, leading to frustration and a diminished gaming experience.

- “If I could purchase no ads for a good price, I definitely would.”
- “I bought the premium version for no ads so I could maximize my earnings, but that was a while ago.”
- “Fun game, however I paid for no ads and still get ads at the end of each game.”
- “The biggest gripe I have with it though is not about ads, because I know you can't play games for money without the ads, but rather that every ad break terminates the sound of my Spotify or if I'm listening to a YouTube video while I play, and with the ad breaks being so frequent, I don't play it nearly as much as I otherwise would.”
- “Was fun at first but then the ads started coming in constantly and making the game unplayable. This app is now just a cash grab; don't waste your time on it.”
- “I paid for no ads before, and now there are ads. It's frustrating to have to deal with them after making a purchase.”
