Chat room Gold is a virtual currency used to buy things in the chat. As of right now, it is primarily used to buy Virtual Gifts for other chatters. But you can also use it to get profile Photo Gallery Slots or Gamble in the Dice Room. If you are a VIP, you can use it to Change Your Username whenever you want.
You earn gold by being in a chat room. You earn 1 Gold every 3 minutes but. If you are VIP you earn 1 Gold every 2 minutes.
You can buy gold by clicking on the top left 3-dashed menu at the top left of the chat window. There you will find the 'Buy Gold' link.
To give a gift or share your gold with another user you simply need to open their profile, then click horizontal three-dash menu at the top right and select the option you want.
To view a chatters gift collection, open their profile then click on the gifts tab. You can view a list of the most gifted chatters by opening the top left "3 dash menu" then selecting "Top Gift Recipients"
As of right now, you can not gift yourself items. We hope to change this in the future, but you can get around this by buying or sharing gold with a second account and gifting your primary account what you want.
