The monetization aspect of the game has received significant criticism due to the frequency and intrusiveness of ads, which appear after nearly every hand and can even crash the game. While players acknowledge the game's free-to-play model, many find the monthly fee of nearly 5 euros to remove ads to be excessively high. Overall, the presence of ads detracts from the gaming experience, despite the game's otherwise good features.

- “Only 4 stars since removing the ads requires a monthly payment of nearly 5 euros, which I consider ridiculously expensive.”
- “Lots of good features and polish, but ads are a little intrusive at times.”
