What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Ohio licenses combat-sports promoters through the Ohio Athletic Commission. Under ORC 3773.35, a promoter’s license application (except for wrestling events) must be accompanied by a surety bond of not less than $20,000, conditioned on compliance with ORC 3773.31 to 3773.57 and the Commission’s rules.
The bond is a payment-and-compliance guarantee: it stands behind the people a promoter is obligated to pay for an event — contestants, officials, physicians — and the promoter’s duties under combat-sports law. If a promoter fails to pay or violates the rules, the harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond must stay active for the life of your license, 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 $20,000 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 Athletic Commission. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your Ohio Athletic Commission promoter’s license application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $200 at the $20,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
