Can I still redeem Clams from my BTC wallet or it's over ?
Yes!
Clams do not expire on your BTC, LTC or DOGE address. They will be there for ever if you don't go pick them up! (Like kids at day care!!!)
Thx.
Did someone tried this ?
Dig CLAMs on Just-Dice.com
On Just-Dice.com you can type "/dig ADDRESS" to check if an address can be dug for clams. If you find one that is diggable (make sure you move the coins to a new address for your own protection) then you can dig the CLAMs by typing "/dig ADDRESS PRIVKEY". Make sure you don't use quoatations. The PRIVKEY must be in bitcoin-qt format. It will take about 10 minutes (10 confirms) for the CLAMs to show up in your balance.
Do this mean that I don't need to bother downloading the whole damn BTC + Clam blockchain ?
yup it works.
A couple important notes:
The above method does indeed work well.
It also makes it very easy for users to claim their CLAMS given they have their privKey.
It is important to note, however, that most users will receive more CLAMS if they use the conventional claim method. The reason for this is that very few users have a deep understanding of what are called "Change" addresses. This means that very often there are additional CLAMS associated to addresses that users have no idea that they control and own.

There is no need what-so-ever to sync/download the BTC chain, as there is no interaction between the chains.
In addition, the CLAM chain must only be sync'd to block 10k in order to see your claims/CLAMS.
For the sake of completeness:
THE CLAIM PROCESS:Always back-up any wallet.dat files before moving, copying, or fiddling.
Optional(but recommended) Preparation: Empty the claim wallet into a new secure wallet.- Download and run the CLAMclient.
- Click "File"->"Import Wallet", Browse to the wallet.dat file (BTC/LTC/DOGE).
- Wait the client to automatically rescan the chain (may seem to be frozen, be patient).
- Enjoy your CLAMS
