Do you mean "VIPGold" or Gold VIP, or even "Golden Gate".

They are prolific spammers, and many of these names go to fake landing pages which all divert to the real casino.

If you can download the casino (or have found the webpage if non-download), then logging in is a matter of entering your account number and password. The exact mechanics of this process depends upon the software used by the casino, as do login errors.

One main login error is where you enter your account and password, but you get booted from the connection before seeing the lobby and your account balance. This is a connection issue, could be either end. Microgaming is particulary prone to this, but RTG have recently been suffering similar issues. If this is the case, try again, and again.

If the problem is down to an incorrect login, contact support for help. On no account try to fix the issue by registering another casino account at the casino - this will be seen as fraud, and winnings will be confiscated.

I think OP refers to thegoldcasino.com, casino that accepts only e-gold as payment and where bets are measured not in $ but in gold grams. I used to frequent the place because their multiplayer's BJ was fun, but gave up on it long ago. Lost a fortune there, too...

I have never heard of them. Sounds like a dodge around tax and/or gambling laws, since you gamble with gold (the metal) rather than the actual dollars deposited.

I sure have my doubts about this spot. The only really good aspect with them was instant withdrawals.

The Gold Casino is an independent merchant which uses the various popular Digital Gold Currencies (DGCs). The Gold Casino is unrelated to DGC operators or the independent DGC exchange providers. The Gold Casino offers all the popular casino games such as Blackjack, Slots, Video Poker, Roulette, and multiplayer games. NO downloads are necessary with The Gold Casino, which uses the popular Macromedia Flash web interaction system. At The Gold Casino you wager, play and win in actual grams of solid gold. You can always withdraw your entire balance of gold (including any and all winnings) at any time, in real time, instantly. It is commonplace for players to withdraw kilograms of gold (tens of thousands of Euros worth of gold) in realtime, instantly. There are no restrictions whatosever on withdrawls at The Gold Casino. All withdrawls are instant and performed in realtime. © The Gold Casino 2000. All rights reserved. Phathash® and Ringmaster® are trademarks of The Gold Casino.

Note an interesting term, too:
from http://www.thegoldcasino.com/rules.html
16.) Dormant Accounts Forfeited: If a Player's account has a credit balance and remains inactive for six (6) months, then the Casino reserves the right to close such account, and the balance of the account shall become Casino's property, provided, however, that prior to such termination and forfeiture, Casino will attempt to return Player's funds by contacting the Player at the e-mail address provided for by the Player.

This sounds fishy I have a feeling this casino must have a very strong connection to (or even own) whatever web wallet they send the "gold" to. It's not very common to let players withdraw tens of thousands of Euros instantly. No casino in their right mind would hold those kinds of amounts in any web wallet (for obvious reasons), at least not risk that any single customer cleans it out in an instant.

They can ensure it never happens by not allowing any single customer to win "kilograms of gold"

I've seen loads of spam posts from these e-gold scammers on loads of forums.
It's blatantly a con because they claim to have games with 10-20% PLAYER advantage!

If anyone ever sees anything about playing or getting paid in e-gold in any casino (and I think there's quite a few), my advice is stay far, far away.

I do not recall such statement, though if I saw one I'd start doubting them sooner than I finally did.
TGC was one of the first online casinos I signed up with, and it is only now, with shame, I realize that I never did my homework, and never even tried to research them...

From press-release: ABOUT THE GOLD CASINO
The Gold Casino (http://www.thegoldcasino.com), founded in 2000, is the only online casino offering genuinely instant payouts to players, through its exclusive focus on digital gold currencies. Using the latest server and interactive-client technologies, such as Macromedia Flash MX, The Gold Casino offers a one-of-a-kind play experience, the widest possible platform support, and unparalleled customer service. The Gold Casino is hosted from the island nation of Sealand (http://www.sealandgov.com).

What on earth is Sealand? ("After intensive discussions with skillful English lawyers, Roy Bates proclaimed the island his own state. Claiming jus gentium, he bestowed upon himself the title of Prince and the title of Princess to his wife and subsequently made the state the Principality of Sealand. Roy Bates, henceforth Roy of Sealand, exerted state authority on the island and thus was an absolute sovereign. The royal family and other persons that have declared loyalty to Sealand have occupied Sealand ever since.") Nice

Guess I'd rename this thread to 'not so new cheaters', since these guys claim to be in business since 2002. LOL
