+## BET command
+
+The `BET` command lets the currently logged-in player place a bet in the ongoing game for their lobby.
+
+### Required pre-execution checks
+
+- [`UserLoggedInCheck`](#userloggedincheck)
+
+### Request Parameters
+
+| Parameter Name | Type | Optional | Description |
+| :------------- | :--- | :------: | :---------- |
+| `GAME_ID` | `int` | yes | Numeric id of the lobby/game to target. If omitted the server resolves the lobby by the requesting session's user. |
+| `AMOUNT` | `int` | no | Amount the player wants to bet |
+
+### Implementation notes
+
+- Parser: `PlayerBetParser` — reads `AMOUNT` and optionally `GAME_ID`.
+- Handler: `PlayerBetHandler` — validates the session, lobby (by id when provided or else by session), player's turn and balance and forwards to `GameController`.
+
+### Success Response

+No additional response fields. Server replies with `+OK` on success.
