The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the overwhelming number of ads that interrupt gameplay and hinder the overall experience. Many players express frustration over forced ads after matches and during critical moments, leading to complaints about latency issues and game freezes. While some acknowledge the necessity of ads for revenue, the consensus is that the current implementation is excessive and detracts from the enjoyment of the game.
“Good game, no ads!!!”
“No ads”
“Love it.....prefer online no ads”
“Forced to watch ads after every match, and you only win 150% of your bet, meaning, unless you have above a 65% win rate at all times, you will have to watch more ads or pay to get more coins.”
“The ads that come after your VIP access has expired will cover your hand and sometimes there are ads that pop up over the entire screen while you are actively playing.”
“Solid spades game that often seems to care more about pushing ads to the user than providing the best possible user experience.”
