What it is and who needs it.
What the performance bond covers
Maryland legalized sports wagering and licenses operators through the State Lottery and Gaming Control Commission. Facilities are tiered by size — and the Class B-2 license is the smaller-operator tier, for applicants under the Commission's size thresholds (broadly, fewer employees or lower gross receipts than the larger classes).
Every facility license requires a performance bond, and the Class B-2 amount is $150,000. The bond runs to the Commission and backs the operator's compliance with Maryland's gaming law — including the payment of taxes, fees, fines, and obligations tied to the license.
It is a compliance and performance guarantee, not insurance for the operator. If a licensee fails to meet its obligations under the law, the Commission can recover against the bond, and if the surety pays, the operator repays the surety. The bond must stay active for the life of the license. We issue the $150,000 bond for $1,500.

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 $150,000 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.
How to file it
E-sign & file with the Commission. Pay online and receive the executed performance bond ready to file with your Class B-2 facility license. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the Commission insists.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $1,500 at the $150,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
One soft credit pull, never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
One application, one soft pull.
