" If you have a Bitcoin (BTC) balance on Bittrex during the BTG snapshot block 491,407 occurring approximately on October 24, 3am PT (10am UTC), you will be additionally credited the equivalent amount of Bitcoin Gold (BTG) on a 1:1 basis. i.e. 1 BTC on Bittrex held during the on-exchange snapshot will get you 1 BTG. BTC held on orders will also be credited. Only the BTC held on your account is eligible for BTG. Full details below."

https://support.bittrex.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002320451Thanks for sharing. I didn't know that about Bittrex. I was going to start to move my BTCs to another exchange. Nice!
"Bittrex will make all reasonable attempts to credit our users BTG but until we have a fully supported wallet, we can neither guarantee tokens or consider creating a market. We will continue to monitor the state of the codebase and network."
This bit is also on that article. Personally, I would use a wallet that only I know the private keys (paper or electrum) and then when BTG goes live, use it on the first wallet/exchange that fully supports it and sell if need be. This way, I'm in control of everything.
