The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with players expressing frustration over excessive and often malfunctioning advertisements that fail to provide promised rewards. Many users report that watching ads frequently results in errors, leading to a lack of compensation, while others feel that the game is rigged to favor those who make in-app purchases, creating an unfair playing environment.

- “No ads, clear communication and the developers offer good support.”
- “Very interesting game with no ads and wonderful support from developers.”
- “Easy to use, no ads, coins and gems easily available too.”
- “Honestly, the game is awful. Most of the rewards aren't given to you after watching an ad, the dice rolls purposely roll bad to make you spend the gems. 'Something went wrong' with most of the ads and you can never recover gems. They have you watch an ad and it constantly spins and never gives the gems back. Pathetic game, pathetic company, don't waste your time on this garbage.”
- “The reward ads suck! I watch full and long ads and at the end I get only 'something went wrong' and they don't give me any reward. It's very annoying to play.”
- “This is just speculation on my part, but I have a gut feeling after playing this game a bit that if you do not make in-game purchases or burn through gems (to re-roll dice), you will lose a majority of the time.”
