Your insistence on using Coca-Cola as an example is bad,
because Coca-Cola is a "famous" mark. Under the Lanham Act,
the holders of famous marks only need prove someone causes
"dillution" to the mark, they have no litmus for proving alleged
infringment leads to consumer confusion.
E-Gold(R) is *not* famous, until they prove it is, and to simply
assume all marks are famous is rather broadly expand the scope
and intention of trademark law.

If E-gold Ltd ever does pursue UDRP arbitration against one
of my domain names (which are very much like e-gold-casino)
I will gladly place a wager with you. In fact, I will even make
whether I win or lose a wagerable proposition on the site so
anyone can take me up.
