The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the excessive number of ads, particularly those that interrupt gameplay or are difficult to dismiss.

In-app purchases are also criticized for being necessary to progress effectively, with many players feeling pressured to spend money to enjoy the game fully.
- “No ads unless you want to add to your rewards. Very addictive! I have enjoyed playing the games, and they do not gouge you if you need to buy coins. They have an extremely affordable coin or gem package. Hats off to the creators!”
- “I have been able to play and have enjoyed doing so without having to buy anything, which is great. However, there are too many attempts to get a person to make an in-game purchase, and earning gems for certain features is not easy to do.”

- “They keep throwing these ads up to buy coins but that hardly works to purchase. You can tell Zynga lacks on updating their software and I end up losing 5 games due to app crashing. A horrible app; the spades are fine, but if you need a gin game, try another game. I uninstalled it; don't waste your money or time on it!”
- “The game was actually fun to play until you started showing ads in the middle of the game and I lose my turn every single time, which is quite a bit.”
- “The sheer amount of side games or mini games it forces you to try out and in-app purchases is attempts to make you buy is crazy.”
