Game sucks
It’s rigged it’s obnoxious get it through your heads I don’t want to buy things
Scam
Rolling died in the game it's "chance" based. Mini it's not true that they manipulate that that rolls in order to get you to spend money on the game if you're far away from getting an event they'll give you good roll if you're close to getting an event pay out they will make your rolls worse so you don't land on the properties or spots you want. And then... you'll get a pop up to spend money....
ForSome reason because the game isn't technically gambling, so they're allowed to cheat your dice rolls...

Money hungry
Ain’t no way I had 3 points to get those dice with 3 min left and yall really tried to make me spend money when I just spent $12 less than 3 days ago. Money hungry makes the game not fun and I’ll be deleting the app!
Game rigged
I recently returned to this game after 3 years and then remembered why I deleted the game the last time. RIGGED.
Devs will say it’s “chance” at rolling
In all reality there’s no chance. You will ALWAYS land short of what you need unless you pay for more rolls etc. card packs are bs and you get duplicates. Trash game. 0 stars if I could
Scripting
The disrespect with the scripting is getting boring. Just all geared towards that need for revenue
Bad
Worst game EVER
Worst customer service
The horrible customer service is cause to delete the app. There are so many glitches and they will not remedy issues that are on their end.
Peg game
I feel like the peg game is rigged because every single time I’ve played it since I got the app I’ve never once had the chips go into the really big prize slot no matter what I do I think it’s rigged
Begs for Money
Never seen a more rigged game that blatantly begs for money more in my life
Game use to be fun before all of the updates.
Game is VERY rigged and a money grab. As soon as you get close to completing an event, all of a sudden the landmarks you need become out of reach. And the amount of duplicate stickers you receive is absurd. The blue and purple pack of stickers mean nothing the further along you get. Spending money doesn't guarantee anything either, this game is a joke !
One star
1,600 dice rolls and not once did I land on a corner tile to collect pieces for helpers hustle this is ridiculous.
Not Good
Really wild how you take the fun out of monopoly somehow, it doesn’t even feel good to play really. I’ve downloaded and deleted twice now so I tried
Different than real monopoly
Fake monopoly
They changed the whole game
They want you to pay 5$ to play the game when it used to be free this new game sucks
Even AI can sense the scam
1 star. This game is a straight-up rigged cash grab. The dice magically turn to trash when you actually need to land on something, sticker packs are nothing but useless duplicates, and every event is designed to leave you just short so you’ll cave and buy more dice. It’s not about luck or fun - it’s about frustrating players into spending money. Even AI can see how obvious the manipulation is. Trash game.
Scam! Customer service lies
My game glitched and then wouldn’t load so I could continue playing. I ended up missing the mini game because I couldn’t get it to load. When it finally loads they ask for screen shots of it glitching. As if that’s the first thing you do when a game messes up. I just restarted the app and it wouldn’t load pass the first screen. Because I didn’t screen shot it and they said I didn’t log in (because I couldn’t) they couldn’t help me with the mini game I already won. SCAM. I’m deleting the app, it’s a money grab.
Rigged
Game is terrible. They make it impossible to play without spending money.
Deleting this
It frozen I can’t spin the dice it stuck on one spot for a month I did everything to try and fix it but nothing is working
Designed to become addicting for profit
Monopoly GO! may look like a lighthearted, modern take on the classic board game, but beneath its colorful graphics lies a gameplay loop that feels deliberately engineered to keep players spending. The game’s dice rolls, event structures, and album completion mechanics often seem to be tuned so that players fall just short of achieving goals without purchasing extra dice, stickers, or premium items.
This pattern creates a cycle where progress feels tantalizingly close but rarely attainable without opening your wallet. Events and rewards are structured in a way that maximizes urgency and fear of missing out (FOMO), encouraging repeated spending to “finish what you started.” While this approach may be profitable for the developers, it can leave players feeling manipulated rather than rewarded.
Bottom Line:
Monopoly GO! is visually appealing and socially engaging, but its core design appears to prioritize monetization over fair play. For players sensitive to addictive mechanics or those seeking a balanced, skill-based experience, this game may be more frustrating than fun.

Prizes are never achievable
This game is so frustrating. I’ve been playing every day for months and can never get the good prizes no matter what I do, especially the dice rewards. You HAVE to pay money if you want anything good from the game so knowing I’ll never get the top prize is extremely discouraging. Please look into making the challenges achievable for regular players.
Glitches and updates
Every time I update on I phone 16 Pro Max i constantly get this message and because I’m not facebook junkie I wind up uninstalling the game loose data and have to start over well this was the last straw I’ll find another game. When it works for me it’s nice.
This Sux!!
I been playing Monopoly for over 2 years. One time it charged me money for something I never asked for, then came the Glitches, now I can’t even get on. I go to Monopoly everyday & I can’t roll, can’t built, can’t make money, NOTHING!!! I go back everyday but it tells me, you’ve been gone & I get DAY 1 bones although I come by everyday. FIX THIS, PLEASE…
