You can reproduce this with

wine iexplore https://www.gamersgate.com/account/register
or
wget https://www.gamersgate.com/account/register

To get the ca cert that site uses, do

wget
'https://knowledge.rapidssl.com/library/VERISIGN/ALL_OTHER/RapidSSL%20Intermediate/RapidSSL_CA_bundle.pem'

To verify this works without installing it, try
wget --ca-certificate RapidSSL_CA_bundle.pem
https://www.gamersgate.com/account/register

Then (at least on Ubuntu) to install the cert so wine (and wget, and firefox) 
can use it, do

$ sudo bash
# cp cp RapidSSL_CA_bundle.pem /etc/ssl/certs/
# cd /etc/ssl/certs
# c_rehash

After doing this, 
wine iexplore https://www.gamersgate.com/account/register
works for me.

See also https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/701015

So, IMHO, this is more of a platform issue than a wine issue, since wine
uses the platform ssl.  

We should probably mark this bug invalid, but I hesitate to do so, since
wine could potentially work around this (Chrome does), and since closing it
will make it more likely people will file duplicate bugs...
