Only 4th and 5th get gold. It's GLUs way to keep cheating down. You didn't wonder why no one was trying to pass you? Just take 4th or 5th. Ties will reward you too so don't screw other people. Props on taking first tho.
More on this issue and discussion in another thread. Yes, as for gold, currently 1-3 don't get paid. ONLY 4th and 5th, and all cash rewards beyond that. I've been 3rd a few times just by playing my games, no bonus etc. Not going crazy, and nothing.
