It means when you make a mistake, the Devil will punish you later. That's how my Christian Ancestors intepreted it.
Example: The Devil tempts you by giving you temporary pleasure. Today cocaine is that way. It is extremely pleasureable the first few times you try it. And, then you are addicted and it works the other way. You are extremely sad unless you dope back up; and then you are not happy, you are just not sad.
Now, the Devil seems to laugh at how he tricked you into getting addicted. (He seems to get pleasure from your pain)
You fell into his trap and you are giving him what is due to him for tricking you. As long as you stay hooked you can avoid paying him your pain. (you can stay out of pain while taking cocaine)
When you are breaking the habit, you abstain from cacaine, and you go through Hell -so to say. You are giving him his reward for successfully tricking you into taking cocaine in the first place.
People often said it as they were in pain because of a mistake they had earlier made. If you don't exercise for a while, then your muscles will get weak. To strengthen your muscle, you must start exercising again. Those first few times of exercising are very painful and ... you are giving the devil his due-- for the mistake you made earlier of quitting exercising.
It's not what most Church Folks say today. They say God punishes you for mistakes (sins).

Short answer, it means you play, you pay.
The long answer is that it comes from the old story of Daniel Webster having "sold his soul" to the devil. In the story (and in the movie) there was this big courtroom trial and the devil (as plaintiff) was demanding Webster's soul. Dan (the defendant) was pleading extenuating circumstances. The devil was coming to collect what was rightfully owed him -- his "due." After all, a deal's a deal!

Paying the devil what you owe him for your debt, because you sold your soul to him for a good time.

The devil is due nothing. So pay him what he is due. Call the devil "dead".
