Person who accepts, eg, a bet (5)

I believe the answer is:

taker

(Other definitions for taker that I've seen before include "(Challenge) acceptor" , "One getting possession (of something)" , "Could be a thief" , "Person accepting an offer" , "one's prepared to bet" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
