Hi,
oh shouldn't have bought it again cause you were sure that you already had paid for it once, it's obviously a bug in insider builds.
are you using Xbox app beta or Xbox console companion beta? if you are then try using the non-beta versions of them,
also try posting this as problem on feedback hub app, attach a problem repro to your feedback that shows how and where this problem exactly happens, hopefully it will capture the necessary data for Microsoft to find out and solve it, don't forget to put a link to it here to upvote 🙂
with that said, there are workarounds to get rid of the ads, one of them is to add the addresses for ad servers to Windows hosts file, something like an adblocker to prevent seeing those ads.
you can easily find out what those addresses are for your Sudoko game using tools like Fiddler, or you can grab a long list of all ad servers from the internet and add all of them to your hosts file.
