The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the overwhelming number of ads and aggressive in-app purchase prompts. Many players report being bombarded with multiple ads before they can even start playing, leading to frustration and a perception that the game is designed to push users towards spending money. While some appreciate the option to earn coins through watching ads, numerous complaints highlight issues with not receiving promised rewards, making the overall experience feel like a cash grab.
- “This game pushes in-app purchases so much that all you see is buy this or buy that. The game itself is okay, but as a newbie, it makes it hard to come back from a couple of losses.”
- “It does have in-app purchases for more coins, but if you don't want to spend money, there are bonuses you can participate in to get more coins.”
- “Some in-game purchases but not required, which is fun for those who don't have a lot of money to play games.”

- “By the time I'm done exiting ads, I no longer want to play. My brother loves it, but I'm going to uninstall as soon as my coins are gone.”
- “This game has gotten worse; ads won't play and you sit waiting to get the reward and it's stuck, so you have to close the app and lose the reward.”
