Someone who collects and pays out on gaming bets (8)

I believe the answer is:

croupier

(Other definitions for croupier that I've seen before include "Manager of a gambling table" , "Leisure worker" , "Casino dealer" , "rakes in the money" , "Gaming table worker" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
