In search of a new term

There is a movement afoot (in different parts of the world) to increase the popularity of backgammon, including attracting young people and getting backgammon accepted in schools as a learning tool.

Although most/all of us have no desire to hide the fact that backgammon has been and continues to be played for money, at the same time we know that money is not a requirement for enjoyment of the game.

As such, can we find a different term for "money game"? Suggestions?
