Polish term or phrase: ryzyko może być \"grane\"
Liderująca w sondażach antyeuropejska Syriza opowiada się za poluzowaniem polityki fiskalnej i wyjściem Grecji ze strefy euro.
O ile te populistyczne hasła mogą zostać redefiniowane po wyborach na mniej radykalne, i tak ryzyko Grexitu może być „grane", a to dodatkowo będzie ciążyć euro.

Póki co roboczo przetłumaczyłam zwrot "grane" jako 'used' (być może powinnam dodać 'by political class'), bo wg mnie o to tu chodzi - o wykorzystywanie argumentu Grexitu na własne potrzeby, ale nie jestem przekonana czy samo 'used' oddaje w pełni sens tego zdania.

Czy mogliby mi Państwo podpowiedzieć, czy idę w dobrym kierunku?
Będę ogromnie wdzięczna za każdą podpowiedź i sugestię.

I think you are on the right track. USE is a safe option. USE A MANIPULATION TOOL, USE AS A FORM OF MANIPULATION might be worth considering, too.

the risk [of Grexit] may be used as a bargaining chip


Explanation:
After failing to win support in Syriza’s six-strong inner cabinet to use the “Grexit” threat as a bargaining chip for a better bailout deal, Varoufakis resigned in early July. - http://www.marketwatch.com/story/secret-plan-b-for-greece-re...

-----

The truth of the situation is that the threat of the Brexit is far more valuable as a bargaining chip than as the cornerstone of a long-term economic strategy.

---

British leader's use of Brexit as bargaining chip for a better EU membership deal is a high-risk gamble that puts the economy in grave danger. - http://www.scmp.com/business/global-economy/article/1813370/...
