About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the sanctioning entity bond actually guarantees

New York does not let anyone sanction a combative sports match on their own say-so. 19 NYCRR 214.3 bars an entity from sanctioning or holding a match or otherwise overseeing a combative sport without authorisation from the New York State Athletic Commission, and Part 214 sets out how an entity becomes a licensed Authorized Sanctioning Entity (ASE). The Commission may license an entity for wrestling, kickboxing (including muay thai), amateur mixed martial arts, and the single-discipline martial arts of Judo, Tae Kwon Do, Karate and Kempo.

This page covers the first of the two bonds in 19 NYCRR 214.4(d): a $10,000 bond, approved as to form and sufficiency of sureties by the Secretary of State, conditioned for the faithful performance of Article 41 of the General Business Law and the Commission’s rules. The companion bond — $20,000, covering purses and the legitimate expenses of printing tickets and advertising material — is a separate filing, and we write that one too.

It is a three-party arrangement: the entity (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State (the obligee), with combatants and the public as the protected parties. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Both bonds must be in effect on the date of licensure, and the rule is blunt about lapses: any lapse or expiration during the licence period is cause for immediate licence suspension until the bond is renewed or a new one is filed and approved.

19 NYCRR 214.4(d)Under 19 NYCRR 214.4(d), an applicant for an Authorized Sanctioning Entity licence seeking to oversee and conduct an authorized professional combative sport shall execute and file with the Secretary of State a bond of ten thousand dollars ($10,000), approved as to form and sufficiency of sureties by the Secretary of State, conditioned for faithful performance of Article 41 of the General Business Law and the Commission’s rules — and, in addition, a twenty thousand dollar ($20,000) bond guaranteeing payment of professionals’ purses and the legitimate expenses of printing tickets and all advertising material. The ASE licence is biennial and expires two years after issuance (19 NYCRR 214.5(b) and 207.4(c)); a renewal application is due not less than 30 nor more than 60 days before expiry, and the Commission has 120 days to act on a complete original application.

How much is the New York sanctioning entity bond?The premium is $100 flat — set by our carrier’s rate book for this bond, the same for every applicant. The $10,000 amount is fixed by 19 NYCRR 214.4(d), so there is no quote process.

Do I pay the $10,000?No. You pay $100. The $10,000 is the surety’s maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.

Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information, and most applications approve instantly. If a check ever runs on this bond, it is a soft pull that will not affect your score.

Do I also need the $20,000 bond?19 NYCRR 214.4(d) requires both from an ASE that oversees an authorized professional combative sport: this $10,000 faithful-performance bond and a $20,000 bond guaranteeing purses and the legitimate expenses of printing tickets and advertising material. They are separate filings, and both must be in effect on the date of licensure.
