It makes sense if she's the witch, and if the game isn't just about killing people but about torturing and corrupting them. Even the winner loses--the previous winner got his legs back, but it was extremely painful, he sacrificed his brother to do it, and he seemed to be always looking over his shoulder.
Since the dice rolls are chance rather than choice, there's the possibility that the game will turn out differently, and one of the less altruistic players will win, thus opening themselves up for long-suffering corruption instead of death. And there's another shot at corrupting the daft lead.
On the other hand, the cop is 'already dead' and has nothing to lose and where's the fun in screwing with someone like that?
It's just a guess based on the Inquisition back story, how the secondary characters are established as kind of slimy, and the fact that 'corrupt the innocent' is a common theme in horror.
