Entrance fee in poker (4)

I believe the answer is:

ante

(Other definitions for ante that I've seen before include "Money put at risk" , "Fixed stake" , "Each player's initial contribution to the pot" , "Player's stake in poker - a ten? (anag)" , "A neat sort of prefix" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal.
