Would this violate Terms of Service??

Gambling for in game items, currency, or otherwise similar products. In game??
Like if I was to do a drawing between numbers 1 and 100. And I charged every person 1k gold to enter. But I was giving something of value in return (let's just say 10 tempering alloys for example) would this violate ToS?
Guilds do it all the time with raffles so I assume no, especially since everything is taking place within game but I was curious.
I would assume however that if I held such a gamble and didn't hold up to my end of bargain (took gold but didn't pay out goods) then I could possible be flagged??
Just curious if anyone knew about this.
EDIT: I should add I read through the ToS and didn't see anything against it, but was curious if I missed it or misinterpreted it.

✭✭✭✭✭It sounds like no matter how honest your intentions are, someone who enters your lottery will end up feeling cheated because they didn't win, and they could cause trouble for you. They could start screaming that you're a scammer in the chat even though you had a valid winner, and delivered the items like promised. If they wanted to get really nasty, they could claim you "fixed" it so one of your friends would win. Doesn't matter that it wasn't true.
Yeah ... not worth the headache that could cause. You know there are people out there who are evil jerks.1 -

Well originally I wanted to do gambling with gold and the engine guardian set. Basically 3 people enter. Each picks a color and the winner doubles their money.
So basically 3k in, 2k out. 1k profit. Simple but effective.PvP needs more love.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Guild Masters have been doing this for a long time now to entice members to donate. Its called Red, Blue, Green. GM wears this set that has a random chance to proc one of three resource buffs with an animation of orbs of the respective color. Players put down gold on a color, then the GM starts spamming skills until the orbs proc. Whoever chose the resulting colored orbs that proc, wins.CP2,100 Master Explorer - AvA Two Star Warlord - Console Peasant - Khajiiti Aficionado - The Clan

✭✭Yeah that is what I read about. Seemed like a neat way to earn some gold. Something I could do while waiting for dungeon queues. But I wanted to make sure it wasn't violating ToS. So do people still do that? Cause I haven't seen anyone do that in my 2 years of playing. I've seen people bet gold on duels but never on RGB.PvP needs more love.0
