The monetization strategy of the game primarily relies on optional ads, which players can choose to watch for rewards like pets, money, and gems. While many users appreciate that the ads are not forced and are relatively unobtrusive, there are mixed feelings about their frequency, with some players expressing a desire for fewer ads or an ad-free purchase option. Overall, the game's monetization approach is seen as a double-edged sword, enhancing gameplay for some while detracting from the experience for others.
