It's the real gold. These are bonanza worlds (infrequent high payout competitions that we hold in conjunction with major events). The "standard" competitions feature far lower payouts and fewer concurrent competitions. We certainly don't want people in the game purely to farm gold from competitions, but we do want them to be a fun bonus for the particularly dedicated in any given world.
As for the actual payouts on any particular competition -- we'll vary them a lot depending on a number of factors (number of players in a world, difficulty of competition, number of payout slots, etc.).
We thought bonanzas were a fun way to introduce a feature we put a lot of work into.
