A Minnesota lawful-gambling gambling manager must maintain a fixed $10,000 fidelity (dishonesty) bond in favor of the organization under Minn. Stat. 349.167 — ours is $300 flat, which is 3% of the bond amount. The application is five minutes.
















Fidelity bonds like this are the simplest thing in surety. Here’s the entire process:
Your details, the organization, and an effective date. That’s the application — no financials, no credit check section.
Fixed-amount fidelity bonds like this are among the bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email, in favor of the organization, ready for your gambling manager license file. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$10,000 bond × 3% = $300, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
Minnesota requires every organization conducting lawful gambling to designate a gambling manager, licensed by the Gambling Control Board under Minn. Stat. 349.167. The manager must maintain a $10,000 fidelity (dishonesty) bond in favor of the organization, conditioned on the faithful performance of the manager’s duties.
Unlike most license bonds, the obligee is the organization itself, not the state — the bond protects the charitable organization’s gambling funds against dishonesty by the manager handling them. The bond terms must provide that written notice be given to the Board at least 30 days before cancellation.
It is not insurance for the manager — if the surety pays a claim, the manager repays the surety. Managers who handle the organization’s funds honestly treat the bond as a licensing formality, not a risk.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn’t have one.
