Gated

Answer in brief

A gated GPU is one the provider lists but will rent only after a sales call, an approval or a place on a waitlist.

Gated in practice

Gating is common for the newest cards. The price stays on the page, and the start button is replaced by a form.

A gated listing may become available to you in days or weeks. For a comparison made today it counts as not available.
