Should chess.com introduce a feature where you add your oppenent can agree on a certain sum of money to bet before a match and the winner of the match gets the money.

That would introduce a bunch of legal troubles.

Not likely to happen, especially since the site is based in the US and would be considered gambling.

Even if that wasn't a problem, guaranteeing all games are fair would be problematic and make the site liable for potentially getting it wrong.
