The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players finding the ads intrusive and disruptive, particularly with loud ads playing even when muted and frequent crashes during ad loading. While some users appreciate that video ads can be skipped and find the overall ad presence reasonable, others feel that the game is not truly free due to the overwhelming ad experience, especially after purchasing it.
“Used to be great, now inserts asinine 30-second ads after every hand.”
“Good game, but very intrusive ads.”
“Shows intrusive ads when you open the app even after paying for it.”
