Is it allowed?

What do you mean by gambling? That's probably the biggest thing to know in order to give a yes or no answer.

Taking Nation Gold and placing bets and such. Like poker and black jack.

Considering that we don't have any functions of that sort on the site, the answer is no. Though that doesn't mean you can't use your Nation gold to play poker outside of the site. It's your gold, you can do what you want with it, though I find it pointless to gamble away an artificial currency on a forum when you can just go to a site that's dedicated to poker, and let's you gamble with artificial money there at no cost to you. Then if you want to do like a mini tournament, where the winner gets X% of the gold that everyone that wants to participate in puts into the pot, runner up gets Y%, and so on and so forth.
But since there's no actual poker function on this site, you can't directly use the site's gold as a wager.

But would I be able to host a game on this involving the risk of losing and gaining gold? I think it'd be fun with the community here. Because the games will be different from classics.

If you can figure out a way to have your gold be used up in real time through antes and bets, then go for it. But as I said, there's no function like what you're thinking of on this site, so if you want to use Nation gold as a source of gambling money, then you'll either have to make a tournament where the winner gets a percentage of the total prize pool, or come up with a way for you and everyone participating to bet, and then payout to the winner of the hand.

So I'd be allowed?

Yes, you are allowed, as I said, what you do with your gold is up to you. But we just don't have a function that will do all of this for you, so at the same time, your idea "isn't allowed" due to lacking the ability to do it on the site. Sure, you can make a new account, a "dealer" if you were, where everyone donates their bet and ante to it, then at the end of the hand, the "dealer" pays out to the winner, but that takes way too long, and is much easier to just have a tournament set up with Nation gold funding, and as the reward for the tournament.

Step 1: Write down number of gold for each person.
Step 2: Do poker on a site, but set the chips to the scale of the amount of gold each person has.
Step 3: Set it to private or something and invite said people.
Step 4: ?????
Step 5: PROFIT!

How about a friendly forum Wager Thread o-o
Sorta like a poll with a gold amount deposit next to it. It's more of a special occasion thing, like sports game or fight, or even something like a live feed of people playing against each other at a game while others place bets and root for their favorite.
