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. While some users acknowledge the necessity of ads for a free game, the frequency and intrusiveness of these ads have led to frustration and a desire for a more reasonable ad-free purchase option.
- “Love this game, but no ads is way too expensive.”
- “The only thing keeping me from giving it 5 stars is what they charge for no ads.”
- “Many games charge for no ads permanently, but this game charges for no ads for just one month.”
- “The game would be enjoyable if they didn't shove multiple ads in your face after every single hand.”
- “You spend more time watching unskippable ads than playing gin rummy.”
- “The constant bombardment of advertising is truly annoying.”

Overall, the graphics of the game are generally well-received, with many users praising their quality and smooth performance. However, some players noted issues with pop-ups and ads that can detract from the experience, as well as a design that may appeal more to younger audiences.

- “Best graphics of any game I have ever played.”

- “Its graphics seem that of an early Windows XP card game.”

Players appreciate the game but express frustration with the frequent interruptions caused by ads, which pause their music. Many find this aspect a significant drawback, as it disrupts their overall experience and enjoyment of the game. Reducing the number of ads could enhance the gameplay for those who wish to listen to music simultaneously.
- “If there were half as many ads, the game would be fine but I can't even get through half a song before it's interrupted...”
- “I don't mind the ads, but if they stop my music (even when the sound is off in the app), then it's a no-go for me.”
- “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.”

grinding

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.
- “It does get to be a bit of a grind around the 'gold 3' tier, so much so that I'll uninstall but reinstall straight away as starting over afresh gives a greater sense of achievement than grinding away endlessly just to get 1 place up on the current tier.”
- “Ad after every game, so tedious.”
- “Can become tedious; after playing for some time, one gets the impression it is somewhat rigged.”
