MONOPOLY GO! Ratings and Reviews

Mildly infuriating

This game is wonderful, it’s not like other games you get where they throw a bunch of time obstacles at you and make you wait to recharge because it’s constantly giving you more dice with all the events and the daily challenges and the 8hr regenerative free gift. my problem lies within the stickers, the community chest, the color wheel, and the jackpot boost. Whenever I am using a multiplier and land on a community chest tile, it doesn’t multiply it. this feels unfair and a waste of 5, 10, whatever amount of dice I used. I am not sure how exactly the game decides to give me a color wheel, but it takes 3 of my hotels, which are 15 upgrades, and have costed me millions, and then I only get a sticker pack with stickers I already have from it. That is throwing away so much of the money I earned, especially considering the duplicate sticker box takes a minimum of 250 duplicates to open. As for the jackpot boost, I have earned millions in it and can only claim it by landing on free parking. I was hoping that it would give me the jackpot if the time ran out considering I can’t make my dice roll to ensure I land on free parking to claim it, but no. If the timer runs out on the jackpot boost it throws away all the money accumulated in it. I am still a fairly early player, I am only on board 11, but this is so infuriating to me because as I progress it seems like it’s more difficult to make and keep the money that I earn.

Fun game, but Customer Service isn't so helpful

I've been playing the game for over a year and it's so fun that I haven't missed one day. I love the challenge of trying to collect all of the stickers in the sets to complete the albums to win at least 10K dice. The mini games (partner events, digging events, and Peg-E) and tournaments are very fun and competitive too. My only reason for 2/5 stars is the customer service. I was anticipating my dice birthday gift, but Monopoly Go stopped gifting dice for birthdays before my birthday (March 29th). Monopoly Go replaced the birthday dice offer with Monopoliversary (you receive a gift on the anniversary that you created your Monopoly Go account). I created my account on May 4th of 2023 and I did not receive my Monopoliversary dice. I contacted customer service multiple times between May 4th and today (May 6th), the responses have been subpar to nonexistent, and I still haven't received my anniversary gift that customer service said I would receive. Don't tell your customer they'll receive something if you don't intend on giving it to them.

Edit: I eventually received the 500 anniversary dice after submitting what seemed like my 30th ticket to customer service. Changed my rating from 2 stars to 4 stars since 5-star stickers are very hard to get lol. Also, the game seems like it’s rigged, and the rolls appear to be predetermined.

It was fun now not so much

The game used to be fun and good competition now the developers have nerfed the game so bad. The packs used to be a way for people who did make online purchase to still be able to finish albums now you 95% of the time players only get one and two star stickers. For example, the purple packs used to give you a guaranteed sticker you were missing 1-2 four star stickers and three star stickers now you only get 1 sticker you are missing and the rest are one and two star stickers. To me this is insane to nerf the game so much especially after the game stole packs and dice from people in the last album with the continuous crashing on the community chest. To that aspect as well, players hardly win community chest anymore after the "fix" they made to it. They are making millions off this product so what was the need to take all the fun out of the game? It's giving 'we want our money but we don't want to create an enjoyable product.' The only good feature they added was the safe exchange. They should, however, expand this feature to cover multiple sticker trades i.e. allow players to select all stickers they want to safe trade so people can't run off with extra stars and never send what they agreed to send. They also need to allow senders to cancel the safe trade earlier than 24 hours so players don't have their stickers tied up with a player who isn't answering the trade request.

An addicting game.

So I do enjoy this game very much…why did I leave the 3 stars??? ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1. I have informed them I cannot add someone as a friend, so in order to share stickers, I have to have them as a contact in my phone or Facebook. So although they have Facebook groups to exchange stickers… you can’t unless your friends in the game and I’m not about to add a bunch of people to my personal Facebook just for stickers ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 2. Speaking of stickers…. You end up for 6 to 10 extra stickers on one sticker and barely get new ones, so to finish that challenge is extremely hard and most times not able to. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 3. They will do team builds, you have 4 days to build 4 things with one other person per build. Sounds possible, but never once have I gotten all 4! I got 3 done, but unless you drop a crap load of money for extra rolls you aren’t getting it done. They need to give you at least a week to accomplish the goals. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4. I am pretty high up on the map, this is the main reason for the 3 stars.. I’m bored! They stop putting new cities up and start repeating… like I did Philadelphia twice and it’s the exact same thing. ⭐️⭐️⭐️So why do I still play??? I wanna try and get them darn stickers 😂😂😂 I am determined. Just wish they would fix the issues that have been addressed in a private message….. and no the adding new friends is not a setting issue with my phone… it’s an app issue.

Game has been wrecked by greed

I used to love this game. It was similar to another board game app I used to play until they tightened it so much that it was aggravating. I’m afraid the same has been done to Monopoly Go now. Although once I could sit and play for long moments at a time that’s impossible now. I would win more dice and more money at a level 10, then be able to increase it to 20, winning more dice and money, then increase that level etc. I could actually finish building each property in a group. Now, the rewards have been reduced. I’m lucky to get to a level 10 before running out of rolls. I have to leave the game with properties unfinished which allows other players to shut me down before I have enough rolls to continue playing. Whereas once I could play non stop for half an hour easily I now run out of dice after about 10 minutes. This isn’t fun anymore, each day’s game is too short, and to get to the next board takes FOREVER. This game has been tightened up too much, the daily dice rewards are significantly smaller.
The money grab game has gotten too easy. I get every bill every time and the amounts of money seem to be smaller. This should be more challenging and a larger reward if one is successful.
I am not going to play a game that takes me a week to advance to the next property level, it’s like crawling to the finish line. I’m deleting this. And the only reason it gets two stars is because it was fun a few weeks back.

Great game, but unfair at times

I love the game. I hated monopoly in life, so ain’t that something lol. Being on level 90-something and strategically trying to get more dice shows my insanity and loyalty to this game. I think the developers need to continue working on a good amount of things. I joined the Facebook trading group as I realized how important it was to complete these albums. However, other people are ruthless and disloyal. They say they’re going to trade with you, but then they ghost you. I was surprised when I traded the first time that it wasn’t really a true trading system within the game, just a way to gift. There’s no way to track your trading either. Just like the history tells you someone shut down your landmark, it should tell you that you traded (blank) card with “said person”. However, I also like the idea of gifting, so I think they should implement both options in the game.

The game is also rather glitchy. I needed 10 more coral to will 1,100 dice in the limited aquatic series, but I woke up this morning to find I needed about 90-sum to get it. Like what??? Oh sometimes my dice roll will have me land on something one more or less than the number I rolled. But maybe that sort of thing just happens. 🤷‍♀️

Also, I hate that my odds are the same when I do high stake rolls. Its great I get more $$$ per the rolls, but at least allow me to have s a higher chance of high value cards.

Fun but hard to get anything

Between 3 and 4 stars is what I would give. I’ve been playing for a while and while it’s a cute and fun game, it’s almost impossible to get all the stickers without spending money. The gifting sites are ok but not great since everybody really needs the same things. It’s been weeks and I haven’t gotten anything new from sticker packs even though it says you will by upgrading boards, completing daily tasks, etc. It seemed like this time with new stickers would be better because there is only 1 gold one in each pack, but it’s so rare to get anything once you’re needing 4 and 5 star stickers. Not only did the up the biggest safe from 1500 stars to 2500 stars, but they also upped the contest that you play with friends. You barely get the wheels you need to spin. Realistically the only way to get anything you need is to spend money. The tasks at the top make no sense sometimes. Ex. You need 35 brooms for 75 dice but then you need 150 brooms for 200 dice. Then they get unrealistic of needing 3500 for a new piece and 300 dice. The plinko game is rigged now to never get to the end. The first couple of times I was able to complete to the end, but it’s about impossible now. They’re baiting people into spending money by making unrealistic goals. That just about takes the fun out of it. Other people may be willing to spend money on a game, but most people aren’t.

Hi there AGAGC! Thank you for your kind words and for playing Monopoly Go! We are really happy to hear that you enjoy the game! We apologize if our sticker-earning mechanics have caused you any inconvenience. This is one of the elements that needs to be enhanced in the game; our team is constantly listening to player feedback. We hope you enjoy the updates we've made to the game.

Fun but manipulative

Is the game fun? For the most part, yes. Even if the majority of the play features require little interaction (you tap and hold GO for a second or two and it auto-rolls, and everything is pretty much done for you except shut downs and heists), the game is fun. HOWEVER, opening the game requires one to close down at least 4 or 5 sales pitches for buying dice or money or both, which is tedious to me, and pretty much any of the special games (collecting stickers, holiday incentives, etc) are almost guaranteed not to be successful. As soon as you get close, you suddenly don’t land where you need to, so you cannot collect the things you need. The sticker collecting is a joke. And I understand it is all a ploy to entice people to spend money on the game so they get more rolls, but dang! The one time I did spend like $5, I was rewarded with a bunch of rolls and whatnot, but that doesn’t matter because they don’t result in anything. Also, good luck if you have a problem with the game. I have had several instances where I have not been able to get the game to function, and there is no way to contact customer service. I went through the game store but when you tap on “Contact Customer Service” it bounces me back to the main page. I can’t use the in-game because once opened, the entire screen is non-responsive so I can’t access settings. It’s been 2 days since I’ve been able to play, and I’m about done with this game.

Fun game but

I think this game game and know many people who play it too. When I started playing the partner events were only 60,000 points to complete then they changed it to 80,000 and without extra links or spending money you can’t win. The dice links aren’t worth the money for so little dice and the event shouldn’t be so hard in the first place to win. When you get to higher levels you still only get 50 dice for completing a board when you should get more because 50 dice get you nowhere in terms of getting closer to upgrades. Mega heists are glitchy and whenever I have a mega heist, I get it on the very next bank heist and then for every bank heist following that one it’s just regular when the mega heist timer is still counting down. Fun game but could be so much better. If Scopely wasn’t looking to try to force people to spend money to get the same prizes in the partner events. 90% of the spins land on low points. I’d be okay watching ads to earn things like other games have. There are already 4-5 pop ups every time you log in or run out of dice.

Please make the partner events easier or send out links for pieces for spins. Make the mega heist work for the whole timer and once you get to higher levels give us more dice for completing a board than 50. It feels like there is no real incentive in completing a board for only 50. This game could be so much better.

Funnest scam you’ll ever play!!

First off I absolutely love playing this game. It’s a ton of fun and brings you back to your childhood memories of rolling and trying to conquer the board. Unfortunately the game is set up to cost you a ton of money to remotely be successful. Even if you progress through the game you cap at 80 rolls that seem to take forever to replenish. Not to mention that you can’t get anything done with just 80 spins. The creators count on you to get antsy and purchase more rolls at ridiculous prices for the amount of rolls you receive. $20 of rolls is gone in a mere few minutes. The tournaments are a joke as well. Five minutes in and some has person already has 10,000 rolls and can’t be caught. Don’t even get me started on the mini games. The spins are rigged. Takes you forever to build up spins and then you land on the lowest amount multiple times ensuring that you have to keep on spending as usual to level up. Perhaps the worst part of it all the card collecting. You can’t trade the cards you actually need(gold cards), and “card groups” are a scam 75% of the times. You have to try though because in the 70 days you’ll get the same cards literally thousands of times. They dangle this huge amount of spins and money and a new token in front of you hoping you keep on spending just to fall short anyway. If things aren’t improved, people are going to get frustrated and just stop playing, myself included.
