The problem is that when I play the tournament, no matter how fast I try to do the spins, I am always left with 6000 coins at least when the time runs out. I have a decent computer, a good Internet connection and I shut down all other programs when I start the tournament, and turn off the sounds, so I should be able to do the spins as fast as possible. However, every day I see that some players have managed to play much more coins in the same time period. They probably have faster Internet connections and better computers but this gives them unfair advantage because they have time to play more coins, therefore win more and rank higher on the winner list.
I did a test on a different computer than where I usually play and I was able to play at least 3000 more coins during the tournament when I had access to this fast computer and superfast Internet connection. Those 3000 coins quite often make the difference whether you place in the top 10 or not (therefore win or not).
I am taking this matter seriously because there is real money at stake and it is clear that players joining this tournament don't have equal chance of winning. I have played this tournament now for many weeks and I have gathered sufficient data to prove that players with faster Internet connections/better computers have clear advantage over other players.
I am expecting a full response from Ladbrokes (accredited here) regarding this issue!

You won't get any sense out of support. This issue has been going on for ages, and MG just don't care
It came up soon after these tournaments were launched, and the only fix MG attempted made them SLOWER, not faster.
The obvious suggestion, making them limited to a set number of coins, and forget about time, has been thrown out by MG, yet this would ensure that ALL players would get the exact same chance, as they would all be able to finish all their coins. Players with slower PCs and/or connections would simply take longer.
Bonus rounds are the big problem, they run MUCH slower than normal play, and if you don't get any, you will manage to play many more coins.
