Because things usually start getting ugly (sooner or later) once money/goods get involved. Sooner or later people might start rigging games (horse racing for instance) to go in their favour.
On the other hand, it’s okay if money/goods aren’t involved in your poker night. Card games doesn’t automatically mean gambling, after all.
