You will also get either 0.25 -0.5 grams of gold on your birthday
I signed up 2 months ago and can confirm this is legit. It takes 60 days for amount to be confirmed in your account.
They are also rolling out prepaid cards to withdraw funds worldwide

I have still got mine sitting in 'the vault' if you like, could have collected from SG a week ago, but decided that there wasn't much point in carrying physical gold dust around.
By the way, there are some hidden T&Cs so it's not as easy as it may seem:
the signup bonus is less depending on the country you're from.
it can't be withdrawn for 60 days, there's a 1% withdrawal fee, and a deposit must have been made.
the current way to withdraw is by a wire transfer or prepaid card.
you have to be at least 18 and submit a copy of your ID and to a credit check for verification when you withdraw.
there's a $25 fee to reset your password...
no one has reported withdrawing yet or posted such proof ever since this offer was posted on reddit due to the 60 days wait and other conditions.
We were actually discussing this the other day, another mod received his transfer last week.
So are the above steps actually true eg a deposit must be made and ID must be submitted?
No a deposit must not be made, at least not in their case, they had just received referrals via OzBargain and ChoiceCheapies.
For a debit card, the requirement was a number of id forms, but for a bank withdrawal he was required to send a bank statement and no form of id.
Can confirm that I have received a prepaid card. I use the app, I like seeing my gold go up by a few cents everyday :)
