$4,500 flat. Soft pull.

A Maryland Class B-2 sports wagering facility posts a $150,000 performance bond with the Lottery and Gaming Control Commission. Ours is $4,500 flat — 3% of the bond amount, the same for every B-2 operator. One soft credit pull may apply; it affects approval, never the price.

About this bond

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 at a flat 3%.

COMAR Title 36, Subtitle 10 (Lottery & Gaming — Sports Wagering)Maryland sports wagering is regulated by the State Lottery and Gaming Control Commission under the gaming provisions of the Business Regulation Article (the sports wagering subtitle, §9-1E) and COMAR Title 36, Subtitle 10. A facility license requires a performance bond in the amount set for its class; the Class B-2 (smaller-operator) facility license bond is $150,000. Confirm the current amount and form with the Commission.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Maryland Class B-2 sports wagering bond? +
The premium is $4,500 — a flat 3% of the fixed $150,000 performance bond, the same for every B-2 operator. The $150,000 is set by the Commission for the Class B-2 tier, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $150,000? +
No. You pay $4,500. The $150,000 is the surety's maximum liability to the Commission if a valid claim is made — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
What makes a facility Class B-2 rather than another class? +
Class B-2 is the smaller-operator tier — applicants under the Commission's size thresholds (broadly, fewer employees or lower annual gross receipts than the larger facility classes). The class your facility qualifies for sets the performance bond amount.
Is there a credit check? +
There may be — a soft credit pull can apply to a $150,000 gaming performance bond. It never affects your credit score, and it informs approval, not price. The rate is a flat 3% either way.
When does it renew? +
The performance bond must stay active for the life of your facility license. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available.
