The game has a referral system with decent rewards, including achievements that can only be completed through referring other players.
However, all odds are disclosed.
Some creatures are exclusive, which means they're only available via special events (uncommon), caring for them in sanctuaries (slow), or buying incubator bundles.
There is a (rather expensive) VIP fee, and the game will soon be introducing paid "passes" with three different levels.
The PVP arena and the weekly tournaments are the main draw of the game.
Almost every update (every one or two months) brings new creatures, so while you can complete your dinodex, it's short-lived. Additionally, many new creatures are exclusive, so leveling is slow.
You can pay varying amounts of cash to open incubators immediately instead of waiting 3, 8, 12, or 24 hours.
Absolutely. Each raid boss is only available one day per week, and it takes a year of weekly raiding to max out an Apex.
All incubators are on a timer, and sanctuary interactions only give max rewards every three hours.
You are able to donate DNA to others.
