If I play the card game 'Gwent' in the beginning of the game (Lvl 3 or 4), what exactly can I gain or lose?
Will I gain or lose money?
Do I have to pay for a lost round or game?

What is the impact on the further story?
Best Answer
As far as I know there is no big impact on the storyline.
At the beginning of most games you can bet your money and if you lose you will lose all the money you bet, if you win you will get double of the money you bet.
You can never lose cards, you will only gain cards by beating opponents. Some opponents will say they like only to play on high stakes but it is only them who take the risk since you will never lose cards.

Do you lose anything for losing Gwent?
If you lose you just lose the game basically, you don't lose card or Orens. There is one case however that some people make a huge mistake. The Gwent Tournament in Novigrad seems just like a Quest where you play a tournament of Gwent. If you actually win every game you will be facing a guy in a fist fight.What do you lose in Gwent?
You don't lose any cards when losing to your opponent, only coin. Your first win against any opponent gives you a card, every consecutive win gives you a random crafting material and coin, of course. Playing with a NPC not related to a Gwent quest can make you maximum of 10 crowns per won game.Is Gwent a good way to make money?
Especially at higher levels just running around the map doing quests, killing bandits, wolves, and selling loot at the right vendors, gives significant amounts of money. You can make a gwent deck where you reliably win more than 95% of the matches, so you can use gwent to make money.How do you always win at Gwent?
