Hi Kanonathena,

Despite Marius's examples, I can assure you that 'gotten' certainly is not acceptable in British English. Of course, if you google you can find an example of absolutely any and every word in use somewhere or other. That doesn't make it standard. You also have to apply a little thought to the examples and what they mean, for example:
