Overall, the monetization strategy of the game is generally well-received, with many players appreciating the minimal and non-intrusive nature of ads, which are primarily optional and tied to in-game rewards. While some users express frustration over the necessity of watching ads for upgrades or bonuses, the consensus is that the game allows for enjoyable play without being overwhelmed by advertisements, making it feel fair and not like a money grab.

- “Great gameplay, no ads are great, and I love how you don't have to purchase 'in-app' to continue getting further.”
- “You have to watch ads if you want free tokens for equipment upgrades.”

- “After playing this game for months and spending over $130 on in-app purchases, I have noticed that the app is programmed to give your opponent the advantage when you are on a winning streak, trying to get you to make more purchases. This, in my opinion, is about as greasy and underhanded as it gets.”

- “First off, the upgrades take too long. That's the only reason why I give it a four-star rating. If you have a good club like the Hercules, then you must wait forever before you can get another upgrade for it, and the same story goes for the other clubs.”
