Aurora raffle manager bonds.
From $100. Enter your amount.
Every raffle held under a City of Aurora raffle permit must be supervised by a single designated raffle manager, and that manager must post a fidelity bond whenever the anticipated aggregate prize value is greater than $500. The bond equals the aggregate retail value of the prizes up to $15,000; above $15,000 the City requires corporate surety instead. Premiums cost 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum.

What it is and who needs it.
What the raffle manager fidelity bond actually guarantees
The City of Aurora requires a raffle license for any raffle held within the city, and every licensed raffle must name a single designated raffle manager responsible for its conduct. When the anticipated aggregate value of the prizes is greater than $500, Aurora requires that manager to post a fidelity bond — a guarantee of the manager's honest handling of the raffle and its proceeds — before the license issues.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the raffle manager, as principal), the surety carrier, and your organization as the party protected by the bond. If the manager mishandles raffle funds or prizes, the organization can recover against the bond.
The required amount is the aggregate retail value of the prizes, whenever that value is greater than $500 and less than $15,000; above $15,000, Aurora requires corporate surety in place of this bond. Enter your total prize value and your premium is priced from a $100 minimum. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.
