The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the overwhelming number of ads that interrupt gameplay and the misleading nature of the advertisements. Players report that while the game initially has few ads, they become increasingly frequent and intrusive as they progress, often requiring them to watch ads to access rewards or continue playing. Additionally, many users express frustration over the high costs of in-app purchases and the lack of functionality for ads that are supposed to provide bonuses, leading to a perception of the game as a cash grab rather than a fair gaming experience.

The game's story is heavily influenced by its quest system, which many players find frustrating due to the prevalence of side quests, microtransactions, and a lack of meaningful progression. Users express dissatisfaction with the repetitive nature of quests, the overwhelming number of pop-ups, and the feeling that success is often tied to spending money rather than skill. While the game is enjoyable and fun to play, the narrative experience is marred by these mechanics, leading to a sense of grind rather than a compelling story.
“One of the funner pool game apps I have used! Easy to play, easy to keep along with playing the missions or quests!”
“Busy with good fun side quests to improve your PvP games.”
“To put it right on the sweet spot, is another story!”
“You're forcing people to grind longer or get them closer to a purchase or increase your sessions as they kill the app and start again...but actually you log them in at the treasure chest again and it's the same story.”
“I like this game but you can't win rankings at some quests unless you pay money, so unless you're willing to spend $$, only play this game if you want to waste time not to get in the ranks with paying competitors.”
“Chest do not hold much gold, the cue upgrades are really rare, and there are not enough quests to keep you interested.”
