This is very unlikely to happen.

Way too much fuzz with security / taxes / legal concerns.

Also it's against what I'm trying to achieve. dominion.games is about fun, and although gambling can be fun it also has a dark side I don't want to be involved with.

You could off course make personal bets, just don't expect the system to facilitate it in any way.

If you want to bet on a personal match against me, I'd certainly be willing to take it :)

I run IRL tournaments with an entry free, and with a prize pool for the top finishers. I'm hosting one in Cincinnati at the end of July. It may not be exactly what you're looking for, but I think in the Dominion world it's the closest thing we have.

Obviously this will never be a feature of the software---far too many legal issues to ever be worth it. Online poker has been trying to solve the legal problems for over a decade now.

As for side bets, it's a bit tricky because there's no mechanism to avoid scams. If I don't know you personally I'm unlikely to gamble for anything significant because I can't trust that you'll actually pay up if you lose.
