The game incorporates some mild compulsion-loop design through variable rewards and an infinite play loop, which could encourage extended play sessions. While there are no direct monetization pressures beyond an ad-free upgrade, the presence of ads could be a minor distraction. Competitive toxicity is a potential risk in any racing game where players are trying to beat rivals.
