What it is and who needs it.
What the combative sports bond actually covers
Arkansas regulates combative sports — boxing, kickboxing, wrestling, martial arts, Muay Thai, and mixed combinations — through the State Athletic Commission under A.C.A. 17-22-101 et seq., administered by the Department of Labor and Licensing. A promoter must be licensed and bonded to put on events.
The promoter's bond is a financial guarantee tied to your events: it stands behind the gross-receipts tax you owe the state, any fines or civil penalties, and the amounts you owe to officials and contestants — the fighters, referees, and judges who worked your show.
It is not insurance for you. If you fail to pay what you owe and a claim is made, the bond pays, and you repay the surety. The Commission sets the amount based on your events; premiums start at $100, with your exact price shown at the application. No credit check up to $50,000.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the State Athletic Commission. Submit the executed bond with your promoter license application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the Commission insists.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $50,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
