What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Maryland regulates sports wagering through the Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Commission, under State Government Article Title 9, Subtitle 1E and its implementing regulations at COMAR Title 36, Subtitle 10. An applicant for an online sports wagering operator license — the mobile license — must provide evidence of a $1,500,000 performance bond under COMAR 36.10.06.02.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Commission (the obligee), standing behind your compliance with the sports wagering law and regulations. The bond must be renewed for each license term, per COMAR 36.10.06.02.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond amount is fixed by regulation for the mobile license class; a sports wagering facility applying under a different license class carries the performance bond amount tied to that class instead.

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 $1,500,000 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.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
