I make $10.000+ on a solitaire website called https://online-solitaire.com/, that I made a while back.

The default autoplay option is too eager, I had ace of spades but 2 of spades was hidden. I couldn't move 3 of spades anywhere to reveal the card under it as the other stacks were autoplayed up to 5 already.

Thanks for the feedback. You can change the autoplay option under settings.

Do ads show up after you play? I don’t see how it’s monetized.

This is a solid, great-looking website! 10k is an impressive number. How old is this website?

The website is 3-4 years old now I think. I implemented ads around 1.5 years ago. I really didn't think there was money in banner ads anymore before then actually. I sure was wrong!
