Rule in gaming over non-members (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

govern

'rule' is the definition.
('govern' can be a synonym of 'rule')

'in gaming over non-members' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'GOVERN' is hidden in the letters of 'gaming over non members'.

(Other definitions for govern that I've seen before include "Rule with authority, perhaps a country" , "Control, determine" , "Exercise authority over a people" , "Check; rule" , "Run" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
