The monetization strategy of the game heavily relies on ads, with players frequently required to watch them to progress, often leading to frustration due to glitches and inconsistent rewards. While some users appreciate the option to watch ads for in-game currency, many criticize the overwhelming number of ads and the necessity of watching them to advance, which detracts from the overall experience. Overall, the monetization approach is seen as exploitative, with many players feeling that it hampers gameplay rather than enhances it.
“This game is really fun and allows you to collect money easily, with no ads unless you choose to watch them.”
“The game literally gives you all you need through ads.”
“The video ads don't even make any sense; when you watch them to get a reward (cash, gems, etc.), it will often give you a significantly smaller version of the reward than advertised, and sometimes just wipes your cash balance entirely!”
“This game is just a quick cash grab from its users and barely any effort was put in.”

“Slow progress and very reliant on watching ads for advancement, plus the maximum offline time is 2 hours; yet again, another paywall game.”
