i've used it twice and it worked well for me, just ignore the gold part and just treat it like a regular e wallet, the price of gold is a matter of a few pennies , for or against you, don't worry about that part, I like it because you can load with ** or **,

i thought the whole gold part was weird at first , but it really is no big deal, the real test will come on how well they work on payouts, but so far so good

I think the gold is just a marketing ploy, the money is probally backed by shredded paper

this thing works. It is the same as the gold exchange system that was shut down 2-3 years ago in US. But this one is in CR. It will be around for some time, at least a few years I guess...

******* is in CR? It would be nice to have SBR visit with the principles and maybe give us a little clue about what they've got going on.

I dont know if it's a marketing ploy but it could protect them from the USjd. They don't process gaming transactions they process gold payments.It's the same kind of run around they do in Japan were gambling is illegal. The people pay cash for ball bearings that they put in these slot machine type things that spit out tickets. You then take the tickets to cash in for gold coins which you then take next door and sell for cash. This is what you will be doing in the US in like 5 years.

i agree, i think the gold part is for legal purposes or some other reason to say we aren't part of online wagering, but it is just like a moneybookers or neteller, i hope they work out,
