The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the excessive number of ads that disrupt gameplay and lead to freezing issues.

- “I loved this game at the beginning it was so realistic and fun to play but when I reached level 12 it won't let me play; it said no advertisement, come back later, and for the past week it's been the same. I have been trying to play but it's useless.”
