What does “catch” mean in this sentence?

What does the word “catch” mean in this sentence?

There must be a catch/incentive.

I looked it up in the dictionary the closest meaning to it seems to be

a hidden problem or disadvantage in an apparently ideal situation

I am still unsure if that’s the exact meaning.

Answer

You are quite right. A catch means a hidden trap. It shows that the situation isn’t as good as it seems to be.
