What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Ohio regulates charitable bingo through the Attorney General’s Charitable Law Section. A licensed manufacturer or distributor of bingo supplies must file a $50,000 surety bond with the Attorney General as a condition of licensure, on which the licensee is the principal obligor.
The bond runs to the state and to any person with a cause of action against the licensee for a violation of Ohio’s charitable gaming law (ORC Chapter 2915) or its rules. The surety’s all-time aggregate liability is capped at $50,000.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond must stay in effect for as long as the license is valid, so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out.

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 $50,000 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
File with the Attorney General. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your Charitable Law Section license application or renewal. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $500 at the $50,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
