I want to run # ##### ######## ## a milestone celebration for reaching 2000 members in my group. The 'raffle tickets' would be Dev Products. The prize payout would be a group payout. Both the purchase and payout would be with ROBUX. Therefore, does the following clause in the Terms of Service prohibit this?

Clause in question: 5.A.iv
"All purchases of ROBUX are final and not refundable or exchangeable, except as required by applicable law. You may not transfer, assign, sell, gift, exchange, trade, convert, lease, sublicense, rent, or distribute ROBUX except through the Service and as expressly permitted by us. Any disposition or attempted disposition of ROBUX in violation of these Terms will be void and will result in immediate termination of your Account and your license to ROBUX. ROBLOX does not recognize or condone any third-party service that may be used to sell, exchange, transfer, or otherwise dispose ROBUX. We do not assume any responsibility for, and will not support, such transactions."

I would argue that is does not, as the clause prohibits "transfer[ing], assign[ing], sell[ing], gift[ing], exchang[ing], trad[ing], convert[ing], leas[ing], sublicens[ing], rent[ing], or distribut[ing] ROBUX," but it also says, "except through the Service." As this potential raffle would be completely contained within "the Service" (within ROBLOX, no outside contact or currency, all purchases and payments would be with ROBUX), is it prohibited or not?

Okay, let me rephrase the first sentence. "I want to run a ROBUX raffle as a milestone celebration for reaching 2000 members in my group."
