Got expelled from a game that never started.

This was very frustrating. I hit accept in a simple game (not arena) along with 2 other players. I see the click ticking on thec4th guy but I wait until it hits negative 2 minutes befire doing anything. ai had internet the whole time. I figure he isnt going to show so I hit the cancel game button. Nothing happens. I clise the window and reopen it. I see a message that *I* have been expelled. I hate to say it, but your interface is getting very shaky. Most times, cancel in Areana does nothing but kind of grey out. Then if I try and switch to Simple it tells me I am waiting on a game. Now this.
Oh and no bug report option? I guess they were getting to he to much?

Whenever something on BGA takes long: press F5 (or swipe down or whatever does refresh on your device)
Don't wait 3 minutes with trying that

There's a lot of misinformation and misunderstanding here.

Yeah, that happens. It stinks. Just manually refresh the page if you've been waiting for 15 seconds and it'll work.

This is a user forum, so you're just conversing with other users. It's not so much our interface as
the interface.

You cannot cancel out of arena games once they've found a match. It's not uncommon to find a match while you're thinking of hitting cancel and it may appear as though your request was ignored. In actuality, your cancellation request simply arrived too late.

Unfortunately it happens often. Don't think there's much that can be done but sometimes I noticed that an Arena match was somehow cancelled after being matched with an opponent. Maybe there is a way to verify the activity of the user before starting a game
