Looks like you only get a set number of free games. I got on yesterday to play and last night it wouldn’t load. Then I saw a message saying you 5 free games and then you have to pay! I live the game and started to enjoy playing until I say that message. I’ve found another Mahjong game to play. I’m done with this one.
