play for love
играть не на деньги

On the seventh night of cribbage, when Mrs. Todgers, sitting by, proposed that instead of gambling they "should play for love", Mr. Moddle was seen to change colour. (Ch. Dickens, ‘Martin Chuzzlewit’, ch. XXXII) — На седьмой вечер игры в криббидж, когда миссис Тоджерс, сидевшая рядом, предложила им, вместо того чтобы играть на деньги, сыграть "из любви к искусству", замечено было, что мистер Модль изменился в лице, услышав слово "любовь"

...of course we played for love, when my aunt and I lost I used to retire under the dining-room table and cry. (W. S. Maugham, ‘Cakes and Ale’, ch. IX) — ...играли, конечно, не на деньги, но, когда мы с тетушкой проигрывали, я забирался под стол и давал волю слезам.
