When I think about again the main problem is cheating and I am sure that if money is involved people may cheat by another program so I think that it is not a good idea. It is impossible to prove cheating in the internet when the cheater does not give a program to play automatically and does not follow always the moves of the same program and in part of the moves does not choose a computer move.
