Yes — "max" is a playable Scrabble word. It's listed in the major Scrabble dictionaries and is accepted in both the North American and international word lists.
Scoring: In standard Scrabble scoring, "max" is worth 12 points (M=3, A=1, X=8). Players often use it when the X is awkward to place.
Betting
Notes on usage: "Max" appears as a verb (to reach the upper limit) and as an informal noun (short for maximum), so it's treated like other short, common words that are acceptable in tournament and casual play. If you play different editions (e.g., tournament NWL/TWL vs. Collins), it's still valid on both.

Tip: If you're ever unsure during a game, the Collins or Merriam-Webster Scrabble checkers are good authoritative references to confirm validity.
