As past participles of get, got and gotten both date back to Middle
English. The form gotten is not used in British English but is very
common in North American English, though even there it is often regarded
as non-standard.

In North American English, got and gotten are not identical in use.
Gotten usually implies the [punctive act /] process of obtaining
something, as in he had gotten us tickets for the show, while got
implies the state [durative] of possession or ownership, as in I haven’t
got any money.
