What the charitable games bond actually covers
Illinois permits qualified not-for-profit organizations to hold charitable games events — poker, blackjack, roulette, and similar games run for fundraising — under the Charitable Games Act (230 ILCS 30), administered by the Department of Revenue. The Act also licenses the suppliers and providers who rent equipment and furnish services to those events.
The Department of Revenue may require suppliers and providers to post a surety bond by rule. The bond is a financial-accountability guarantee: it backs the licensee's obligations under the Act — fees and taxes owed, and honest dealing with the charitable organizations they serve.
Because the amount is set administratively rather than by a single statutory figure, the exact bond will be on your Department of Revenue paperwork. Enter that figure and see your exact price — the application collects no credit information. If the surety pays a claim, the licensee repays the surety.
