The monetization strategy of the game primarily relies on ads, requiring players to watch them to earn tickets for making choices, which some users find excessive and disruptive. While many appreciate the option to earn tickets for free, complaints about ad loading issues and the frequency of ads have been common, leading to frustration among players. Overall, the monetization approach is seen as a necessary trade-off for a free game, but improvements in ad reliability and ticket acquisition could enhance the experience.

- “The in-game purchases are optional and don't hinder progress, making it a fair experience for all players.”
- “It's entirely justifiable to need more funds, especially if more underworld content is planned, but having pop-up ads in the beginning, a banner ad at the bottom for the whole time, the ticket system, and ads after every few choices feels honestly a bit scummy.”
- “Great game, but it won't allow me to watch ads to get more tickets, rendering it unplayable for me.”
- “Love the storyline and a great add-on to Underworld Office, but in order to get any tickets, I have to either pay or watch loads of ads, which isn't all that appreciated.”
