How much does an Ohio mobile management provider bond cost?
$5,000 at the $500,000 amount, the same for every applicant.
Three steps to bonded.
Your Casino Control Commission license needs this bond on file. Here’s the process:
Apply once, online
Company details, ownership, effective date. The only extra step is a one-time consent to a soft credit pull.
Reviewed & approved
A half-million-dollar bond gets a real underwriting look — expect to share company financials. An underwriter works with you directly; the soft pull never affects your score.
E-sign & file with the Commission
Pay and receive the executed bond, payable to the State of Ohio, ready to file with the Casino Control Commission. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the Commission insists.
What it is and who needs it.
What the MMSP bond actually guarantees
Ohio authorizes sports gaming under ORC Chapter 3775, regulated by the Ohio Casino Control Commission. A mobile management services provider is a company that contracts with a Type A (online) sports gaming proprietor to operate the sports gaming on the proprietor’s behalf, and must be licensed under ORC 3775.05.
As part of that license, an MMSP must post and maintain a $500,000 surety bond payable to the state. The bond backs the operator’s compliance with Ohio’s sports gaming law and the Commission’s rules — it stands behind the integrity of the gaming operation and the operator’s obligations to the state.
It is not insurance for you — if the state recovers against the bond, you repay the surety. Because the amount is large, the bond is underwritten on your company’s financial strength; the soft credit pull informs that review and never affects anyone’s personal score.

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 $500,000 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
E-sign & file with the Commission. Pay and receive the executed bond, payable to the State of Ohio, ready to file with the Casino Control Commission. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the Commission insists.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $5,000 at the $500,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
One soft credit pull, never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
One short form to start the file.
Submit the application with a one-time soft-pull consent. A $500,000 bond is underwritten, so expect to share company financials — an underwriter works with you directly.
