TX bingo conductor bonds.
From $100. Enter your amount.
A Texas organization licensed to conduct charitable bingo furnishes a bond or other security under the Bingo Enabling Act (Occupations Code Chapter 2001, §2001.514) — since 1 September 2025 to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, which took charitable bingo over from the abolished Texas Lottery Commission. It backs the bingo prize fee the conductor collects and remits. The agency sets the amount; premiums start from $100 — your exact price appears at the application, priced at 2% of your bond amount, with a $100 minimum.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bingo conductor bond actually covers
Texas charitable bingo is governed by the Bingo Enabling Act — Occupations Code Chapter 2001 — and administered by the Lottery and Charitable Bingo division of the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, which took the program over when the Texas Lottery Commission was abolished on 1 September 2025. An authorized organization licensed to conduct bingo furnishes a bond or other security as part of that license.
The bond backs the bingo prize fee: conductors collect a statutory fee on bingo prizes and remit it to the state, and the bond stands behind that remittance. If a conductor fails to pay the prize fees it owes, the agency may forfeit all or part of the bond — §2001.514(c).
The amount is set by the agency and scales with the volume of prize fees your operation handles — there is no single statewide figure, and §2001.514(b) caps it at three times your average quarterly amount due. This bond follows statutory renewal dates rather than your purchase date. Enter the amount on your license — premiums cost 2% of your bond amount, with a $100 minimum.
