The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the excessive number of ads that interrupt gameplay. Many players report being bombarded with ads after every hand, often requiring multiple clicks to close them, which detracts from the overall experience.

- “The only thing keeping me from giving it 5 stars is what they charge for no ads.”

Players appreciate the game but express frustration with the frequent interruptions caused by ads, which pause their music.

- “I can even tolerate the ads after every hand, but having to constantly turn the volume back up or press play to restart my music is a deal breaker for me.”
- “Very good game, but ads are incredibly annoying when trying to listen to music at the same time.”

Players appreciate the strategic elements and goal-oriented features of the game, but many find the grinding, especially around the "gold 3" tier, to be tedious and frustrating. The repetitive nature of the gameplay can lead to a desire to restart for a fresh sense of achievement, as the grind often feels excessive and potentially rigged.
