Reward bribe (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

payoff

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'reward' is the first definition.
(I know that reward can be written as payoff)

'bribe' is the second definition.
(I know that bribe can be written as payoff)

(Other definitions for payoff that I've seen before include "Settlement in retribution or reward" , "profit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
