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.

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 $1,000 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; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renewal falls on the statutory date, October 7, in the year your term ends.
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 City Clerk. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to attach to your organization's raffle license application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
