and this is any different (better) than their GA's? Sigh. I wish they'd just focus on their core business and build good bundles instead of all the extra stuff they think brings buyers in....

Oh, I had no idea about that. I knew about the giveaways but only looked at it once and it was like a joke. I just searched around their site and the support section and this is what I understand:

GalaSilver is free -- everyone gets 240 coins per day.

Giveaways -- cost silver coins to enter. If you lose the giveaway, you lose your coins.

Auctions -- cost silver coins to bid. If you lose the auction, your coins are returned to you.

Gameplay bundle -- costs 10 silver coins to play a game. The result of the game determines how much the bundle will cost. You can play again to try for a cheaper price, but it costs 10 coins each time you play. You are not committed to purchase the bundle just because you played the game.

GalaGold is apparently used for nothing itself. It just sits in your account waiting for you to convert to GalaSilver at a 1:10 ratio.

So, I think I understand it now. Thanks :)
