English term or phrase: "ante up" bingo

This pay-per-draw style of play is called "ante up" bingo.
After a set of numbers is drawn players must press a "Daub
Cards" button ("daub button") to "cover " the called numbers on the cards. When a player presses the daub button, the computer automatically covers corresponding numbers on the player's cards.

It deals with an electronic game of bingo. I'd like to know the meaning of "ante up" bingo.

bingo con depósito inicial

Explanation:
I really am not sure about the translation, but here is the concept, from the link below:

To begin playing, a player opens an account with a cashier at a pointof-sale station. The player is then given a specific account number that permits him to track his funds and to log on to a MegaMania terminal. The current balance in the account is displayed at all times on the terminal while the player is in the game. The 25 cent payments are deducted, and any prize money won is added, automatically to the player's account.
