Money is also a kind of indicator of how serious someone is.
It's one thing to message Stinger on ICQ and suggest playing a casual game, and another to make a $50 bet.
In the first case, he might only agree if he has nothing else to do, but in the second, the priority will probably increase.
And in general, playing for money is always more serious, less risky, and more exciting.
PS
I remember when I was a kid, I used to pester my dad and uncle to play chess with me. But what's the point of playing chess with a child? You don't even have to look at their moves – just play your own game. When we played for something (not a bet, but a prize in case of victory), I didn't run around or act silly; I learned. It takes time, but raising children always requires it.
Time is money. And while time is equal for everyone, "money" means different things to different people: for some, it's a rating, for others, it's a trophy, for some, it's cash in their pocket, and for others, it's experience or education.

"Одержать сто побед в ста битвах — это не вершина воинского искусства. Повергнуть врага без сражения — вот вершина.
"Сущность войны — обман. Искусный должен изображать неумелость. При готовности атаковать демонстрируй подчинение. Когда ты близок — кажись далёким, но когда ты очень далеко — притворись, будто ты рядом."
