What it is and who needs it.
What the games-of-chance bond actually covers
New York lets charitable and nonprofit organizations run licensed games of chance — casino nights, Las Vegas nights, raffles, and bell-jar tickets — under General Municipal Law Article 9-A. The license is administered by the New York State Gaming Commission’s Division of Charitable Gaming, with local clerks issuing many of the permits.
A surety bond can be required as a condition of that license. The bond runs to the People of the State of New York and guarantees the licensee handles the proceeds properly and complies with the rules governing the games — that prize money and net proceeds go where the law says they must.
The requirement can attach to the organization conducting the games or to a licensed supplier or manufacturer of games-of-chance equipment. The penal sum is set by the Gaming Commission for your license class — enter whatever figure your paperwork states and the quote updates.
