Refuse holder a turn in the game (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bingo

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'game' is the definition.
(bingo is a game)

'refuse holder a turn' is the wordplay.
'refuse holder' becomes 'bin' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'a turn' becomes 'go' (a person's move in a board game).
'bin'+'go'='BINGO'

'in the' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bingo that I've seen before include "Game of chance" , "I've completed my card!" , "Voila!" , "Popular gambling game in which numbers are called at random" , "Housey-housey" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
