What it is and who needs it.
What the promoter bond actually covers
The Combat Sports Authority of Maine — formerly the Mixed Martial Arts Authority of Maine — is a public instrumentality established under 8 M.R.S. ch. 21 to regulate MMA, Muay Thai, kickboxing, and boxing competitions, exhibitions, and events in Maine. It approves promoters, fighters, officials, and events, and adopts rules governing each.
When the Authority conditions an event on a promoter bond, the bond backs the promoter’s payment and performance obligations — that contracted purses are paid, officials and the Authority are paid, and the event meets the Authority’s requirements. The amount is set by the Authority by rule and by event, not by a single fixed statutory figure, so it scales with the size of the card.
It is a three-party guarantee, not insurance for you: if you fail to meet those obligations and someone is harmed, they can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. We issue whatever amount the Authority named, priced at 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum.

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 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.
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
Deliver to CSAM. Submit the executed bond with your promoter approval paperwork. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the Authority insists.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
