What it is and who needs it.
What the raffle manager fidelity bond covers
Illinois's Raffles and Poker Runs Act (230 ILCS 15/5) requires the manager of a licensed raffle to give a fidelity bond, in an amount determined by the licensing authority, in favor of the organization conducting the raffle, conditioned on the manager's honesty in performing his or her duties.
The Village of Frankfort, acting as the licensing authority, implements that requirement in Village Code § 135.06: a raffle license application must be accompanied by a fidelity bond in an amount equal to the aggregate retail value of all prizes to be awarded in the raffle. All operation of a licensed raffle is placed under the supervision of a single manager designated in the application, and the Village Clerk serves as the raffle administrator.
The bond protects the organization itself — if the manager mishandles raffle proceeds or prizes, the organization can recover against the bond. It is not insurance for the manager: if a claim is paid, the manager repays the surety. We issue the bond at the prize value your raffle license application states, from a $100 minimum, and the application collects no credit information.
