they actually BLOCK MY GAME for 12 seconds or so. Full screen. For multiple games in a row. Repeatedly.
I think this happens to everyone here, premium or not. When you are premium, you see the page "waiting for other players to accept" - when you are not you see some advertising. So what is the difference? Everyone has to wait

Not true. If there is a premium player on the table, nobody needs to see the advertising.

The extra waiting for non-premium comes after everyone has accepted.

No I'm happy to keep supporting BGA. If you don't like it don't use it. They're offering hundreds of games for free so you don't have much reason to complain.
+1
I would like to live in a palace but paying the price of a 30-meter flat
If there was no difference in service, who would pay for the service? The possibility of donations is great, but do you know someone who has paid to have Winrar?
Even joining a board game club isn't that cheap. Nor does it have so many games. Nor does it give the possibility of playing with so many people 24x7.

Please notice: My comment was not about "seeing the advertising" but about "waiting for the game to start".

I can not quite follow this logic. A game couldn't start before every single player is ready. If non-premiums are among them, premiums have to wait as long as non-premiums. No "extra waiting".
It could be different if only premiums are joining, but this is not my experience. At the start of every game I have to wait for about 15 seconds or more. I never had a game that started right away.
So my conclusion is: The only difference is what you see while you are waiting

As aesche said before, the extra waiting occurs only if there is no premium player at the table.

I thought it was just a premium host that stopped wait times... Any work?
