About this bond

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.

ORC 2915.081 / 2915.082 (Charitable Law Section)Ohio Revised Code 2915.081 (distributors) and 2915.082 (manufacturers) require an applicant for or holder of a bingo-supply license to file with and have approved by the Attorney General a $50,000 surety bond, with the applicant as principal obligor. The bond runs to the state and to any person with a cause of action for a violation of ORC Chapter 2915 or its rules; the surety’s all-time aggregate liability is capped at $50,000.

FAQs

Common questions.

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

How much is the Ohio bingo manufacturer/distributor bond? +
The premium is $1,500 — a flat 3% of the fixed $50,000 bond amount, the same for every supplier. The $50,000 is set by statute, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $50,000? +
No. You pay $1,500. The $50,000 is the surety's maximum aggregate liability if valid claims are made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Who requires this bond? +
The Ohio Attorney General’s Charitable Law Section requires it as a condition of a bingo-supply manufacturer or distributor license, under ORC 2915.081 and 2915.082. No approved bond, no license.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Fixed-amount license bonds like this one don't need one.
When does it renew? +
The bond must stay active for as long as the license is valid. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available, so your license never lapses over a missed email.
