Belleville raffle manager bonds.
$100 flat.
A nonprofit organization licensed to run a raffle in Belleville has to name a single manager, and Illinois's Raffles and Poker Runs Act requires that manager to carry a fidelity bond — in an amount the city, as licensing authority, sets. Belleville's figure for a standard raffle license is $1,000, and ours is $100 flat. The application collects no credit information.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Under the Illinois Raffles and Poker Runs Act, the operation of a licensed raffle has to sit under a single, named manager — and that manager has to carry a fidelity bond conditioned on their honesty running the game. Unlike most bonds on this site, this one doesn't run in favor of the city — it runs in favor of the licensed nonprofit organization itself, protecting the group's members from a manager who mishandles ticket sales, prize funds, or proceeds.
Belleville, as the local licensing authority under the Act, sets the bond amount for the license it issues; $1,000 is the figure that applies to a standard raffle license, distinct from the larger $25,000 fidelity bond the city's separate Queen of Hearts raffle ordinance requires for that different game format.
It is not insurance for the manager — if the surety pays a claim to the organization, the manager repays the surety. State law requires the bond's terms to give the city 30 days' written notice before it can be cancelled, so plan renewal ahead of your license's expiration.
