I don't know about the getting kicked out part. But the time to wait for a game if you're not a premium (paying) member is ridiculous.
I quit my premium membership for a few weeks to save money while I didn't have much time to come here and play. When I came back, it would be 5-10 minutes to find a game every time. As soon as I started paying again, I find games in 15 seconds every time. If anything, it's faster to find a game now as a premium member than it used to be a month or two ago.
Premium membership doesn't give you priority on joining tables.
I'm guessing you use the 'automatic' table selection settings?
While every game on bga is free to play, for some games, including TTR, only premium members can create new tables. Meaning non-premium players can still play for free, but only by joining an existing table.
So what's happening here is that there's simply way more players searching than there are tables available, causing long wait times.
When you were still premium this wasn't an issue, cause when you started search a new table was automatically created for you, and you only needed to wait for players to fill it up rather than waiting for a table to become available in the first place.
