Sub-5 minutes costs a gold ball

This has probably happened to me 3-4 times total in the last month, most recently just now with a L13 Casino. I'll happen to be on when a building is close, click the "Accelerate Free" button in the 4m50s-4m55s time remaining range, and get charged 1 gold ball. Not a big deal, I'm usually rolling in them from tourneys and achievements anyway, but a nuisance all the same.

Likely answer is client side and server side being a little out of sync, I'm probably gonna start refreshing before accelerating from here on out.

I suggest logging a support ticket so they can have a proper look at this. Later on gold balls will become a much more valuable commodity

Yeah, I burned 90 to win a great player recently, gonna not spend again until I'm ready to unlock most/all slots with balls.

Yup! I noticed this awhile ago myself. Very irritating. I no longer click the "free" to finish the final five minutes and just let it run down on it's own. With things taking days to finish...what's another five minutes I say. But, you are right, I have been screwed by this multiple times....NO MORE!
