Can we use 3rd Party websites or Apps to conduct a lottery for an in-game item?
HyperNet Relay is terrible.

I don’t see why not.
Make sure you demand PLEX as entry fee.

Sorry but that’s against the EULA.
…You may not use, transfer or assign any game assets for games of chance operated by third parties…

Trading in-game assets for other in-game assets…
Lotteries happen, but youd have to see how they run things. In particular the BIG Lottery

before starting something like this… I would definitely get an official response from CCP not a bunch of sea lawyers.

I was looking for proof that lotteries are not totally against the rules but that also the BIG lottery still exists as thats a most recent forum post for it

The BIG is free to participate, basically it is a random giveaway among people who sign up each month. That is why it is legal as the person running it earns nothing, just gives away stuff. The “lottery” in its name is from old times when paid participation lottery was still allowed (as far as I recall).

Why waste your time. Just host an ISK doubling service run by a bot. Best ROI of anything you can do in the game.

It is an old thing, it was prominent in Jita local even before the new blocking feature was added. 
I even have it as part of an illustration for my EVE guide:

I offer a fun game.
Send me one billion isk.
I will flip a coin, 50% odds either way.
If it’s heads, I send you ten billion isk.
If it’s tails, you get your money back.
The “princess of highsec” turns out to be just another scammer… I might’ve known.

It’s not a scam.
It’s a giveaway.
10 billion isk to the first lucky winner.
Tell that to the judge, crook.

That is correct.
Everything else in this thread has already been discussed to death back then when CCP added my first quoted part into the EULA and with that banned any form of “games of chance” that isn’t conducted by CCP themself.
If someone gives something to get something in return and is there some form of chance element involved, then it’s in CCP’s eyes gambling and therefore prohibited. If you like it or not.
