Gold gym question.
So I got gold in a gym near me. Do I only get the benefits if my team is in control of the gym or what? How does that work? I'd like to build up another gym to gold now. Don't want to put any of my Pokemon in that gym, if I can still get gold benefits if it's a rival gym. Thanks in advance!

Gold is nice. But nothing more - you get an extra item every time you spin, whether you hold it or not. Some people think it might actually make it more likely to get a higher number of base items from a spin, but I don't think that's been proven.
Raids? F*cked if I know. I got the "Gym Control" bonus on a Valor gym once, and I'm Instinct. I've never gotten it for an Instinct gym, even when I was one of the trainers currently on the gym. So damned if I have any idea if Gold does anything for Raid Battles.
