The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism, primarily due to the prevalence of intrusive ads, including forced ads and permanent banners that disrupt gameplay. Many players express frustration over the high cost of removing ads, with some feeling that the game has shifted towards a "pay-to-win" model, making it difficult to progress without spending money. While some users appreciate optional ads for bonuses, the overall sentiment leans towards dissatisfaction with the aggressive ad placement and technical issues related to ad functionality.
“Just downloaded and bought the no ads version and spent way too much on the special events!”
“Good time killer, would be nice with a few less ads but is what it is.”

“Game has been ruined by forced ads, and the lower screen is now an ad banner.”
“The game is fun to kill time when you actually get to play... the amount of ads is ridiculous. You literally get to play for 5-10 seconds and then have to watch another 30-second to 1-minute long ad or double ads.”
