e-gold how to open account

Hi Friends,
I am a newbee in the stock market. I found that the best alternate to buy physical gold is through e-gold by National Spot Exchange.
Now for this a different dmat account is required because of which I am confused. Is it legal and secondly how to open the account.
Does any one of you have bought gold in this format......
