Rules Clarification Pls

Seeking rules clarification pls:

5. Real Money Trades (RMT) are not allowed on Project 1999.

Currency includes all forms of real world OR virtual currency...

Specifically referring to using "bot" currency. Twitch.tv is ever growing, and in my opinion a great way to interact with viewers in many, many aspects.
Any good Twitcher will tell you that interacting with and rewarding your viewers is a great way to maintain viewer loyalty, and simply a way of saying thanks to your viewers.

Now to my point. There are several moderator/bot applications and programming that can be done to have a give-away or raffle. Normally you would want to reward viewers who have spent time in your channel; this can be quantified by having the bot program periodically issue a virtual currency. These programs are highly customizable and allow you to call the currency whatever you desire. You wouldn't want to have a give-away open to anyone who comes into your channel solely for the purpose of attaining an item and never coming back. Thus you want to limit the give-away to those who have accumulated points/money/currency, rather than to some random opportunist.

So let’s make this simple:

Viewer A has accumulated 2000 "points" by simply hanging out and actively participating in the Twitch channel over a given period of time. These points are not purchased or earned in any way other than by simply hanging out. Sometimes mini-games, or trivia, etc., etc can earn a player additional points. Maybe a viewer is very active and helpful and the streamer wants to provide additional points. (I realize you would have no way of regulating someone's channel and verifying the legitimacy of how the virtual currency was obtained.)

Streamer Joe has a few items he would like to give back to his Twitch community by doing a give-away/raffle.

Streamer Joe tells his viewers: "Type in keyword 'raffle'; it will cost you 50 points to purchase a raffle ticket". After entries are compiled, winner is player "A".

In game they meet and the winner receives his the give-away item.

I have been running a bot program for a few months, and regular viewers are currently building up points. I am planning having Steam give-aways for other games, codes, as prizes and rewards.

But wanted to clarify how it would work for in-game items on P99.
Is this legal?

Thanks for taking the time to read and respond.
