The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the presence of ads and in-app purchases despite having paid for the game.

“You buy an app that includes in-app purchases!”
“What really bothers me is that I paid pretty much for an average game just to continue getting ads and have to pay for tips and loosened rules just as in a free-to-play game.”
