Is this allowed?

Such a thing is against TOS, but certainly if you do it in private, nobody is going to stop you.

Where is the clause where it states this isn't allowed. Not saying I don't believe you just would like to see.

I think it goes under/along with scamming, or prohibited forms of marketing/trading gold/items.

How does it go under scamming? There's been numerous tourneys in the past with buy-in fees, and the devs never said they had a problem with it. If people are willing to trust him, they're on their own. Devs have said before, if you give someone gold, and they don't commit to their end of the deal, they can't help you. You hit accept, thus it's your problem.

Never had I read anything that said something like this is against the TOS. Could be wrong, but I highly doubt the devs will have a problem with someone wanting to host this kind of contest, they'll just probably advise players to be cautious and smart with their gold. If they choose to trust this guy with their gold, that's what they choose to do with it.

I don't think it is against TOS, but most of players consider it as a scam. So, even if it isn't a scam, you still get reported^^
