playing for money
That would be the more natural way of asking the question in EN:
"If so, were you playing for money or not?"
"If so, were you playing for money or not?"

Thanks, David! My only concern with your modification might be that it could suggest 'large sums of money', as distinct from small ones???

: I'm not sure we say 'bet' when it's poker, do we? I'd have thought perhaps 'to stake' (but see my own suggestion for a possible alternative way of expressing it) / Fair enough, you know best!

They have a specific vocabulary for poker while playing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betting_(poker). But "miser de l'argent" is to bet money. Although, I agree with you for that dialog. It didn't come to my mind at first.
