    HI,

    When I play with my family in the real world we tend to bet quarters for long drives in the fairway, greenies, chippies, birdies, etc.

    I would love to have the same ability to make little wagers when I am playing private matches. Is this possible?

    thats gambling part of the game where US Law will have issues with you.

     

    not only it would come in as $ value, therefore taxable, but you probably need special licenses for it

    so, it ain't gonna happen!

    Three Points:

    1) What about those of us outside the US that arent subject to archaic, puritanical laws regarding small wagers between two men?

    2) Income below $600 is not taxable by the IRS

    3) How about wagering in game credits. So you go in and buy a pot of credits and bet them amongst friends. But there is no cash payout

    The answer to #1 is that they are based in the States.  Our laws govern their business, thus even international players would not be allowed to wager legally.
