The venue's non-cash play policy
The official FAQ answers “Can I bet money?” by saying gambling is strictly prohibited and that the venue will call the police and refuse future entry if it finds any. Leftover points are held for later games and satellites; the reviewed pages describe no way to turn points back into cash. View the source ↑
