Money put right into a game (6)

'money put right into a game' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'right into a game' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'right' could be 'r' (common abbreviation) and 'r' is found within the answer.
'game' could be 'fives' (fives is a kind of game) and 'fives' is present in the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?
