"She never once tried to entrap someone."
"And yet, never once did she try to get back at those who deceived her."
Untrue and untrue. Kanzaki Nao has used trickery, lies, manipulation, and careful planning (e.g. trying to get close to Abe in order to derail the Hasimoto group in two games in a row) on multiple occasions to ensure her / her group's victory. Akiyama has employed even more brazen strategies on her behalf.
As for trying to get back at others, she has definitely shown anger and vindictiveness towards many who have just been trying to play the game. She has particularly sought to get back at Yokoya and has said she wants to see him lose out on his winnings. I believe she may have made some lesser comments about a couple others as well.
"If there's one person who would never ever betray them, it's Kanzaki Nao."
Yeah, unless it suits her purpose.
If I was not so close to the end, I would drop this manga.

Entrap someone to make them bankrupt in real life is what he meant, in a consolidation match.
She definitely wants everyone to get out of this Liar Game no worse than they came in, and even get rid of their debts.
PRAISE GODDESS NAO

This just isn't true. Kanzaki will trick the opponent out of money just to give it back in the end like was shown in roulette.

I think that despite the story talking constantly about "honesty" and "lies", words like "selflessness" and "greed" would be more appropriate.
More than honest, Nao is selfless. Before Liar Game, she was honest because she lacks the greed that would make lying useful to her.
Now that she's in the game, she's learning to lie. But while the immediate beneficiaries of those lies are her, her group and her ideals, the ultimate goal of those lies is to arrive at a good outcome to as many people as possible, even at her own expense. And this is what Akiyama is talking about.
The reason why the others can trust her is because even if she does trick or betray them during the game (or tacitly agree with Akiyama underhanded ways), as long as she win big enough, she WILL fulfill the ultimate promise of helping them get out of the Liar Game debt-free. This is where she absolutely won't entrap or betray them.
And regarding getting back at others, I'd say it's in relation to the "ultimate getting back" which would be bankrupting the person. She does want take Yokoya down a few pegs, make him lose the game, maybe even make him lose hard, but she doesn't want to get back at him by ruining his life. She knows he can afford to lose that money and she would return it after the game if he couldn't.
Same with other characters. She will prioritise saving her friends, those in her plans and those that are nice to her, but she will also forgive and save the ones that were terrible to her if she has enough money for it.
