About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the promoter bond actually covers

Washington regulates professional and amateur combative sports — boxing, martial arts, wrestling, and amateur mixed martial arts — through the Department of Licensing under chapter 67.08 RCW. Every promoter must file a surety bond as a condition of the annual promoter license.

Under chapter 67.08 RCW, the bond is in an amount the department determines, but not less than $10,000, and it covers all of the event locations applied for during the license period. It guarantees that the promoter complies with the chapter, pays taxes owed, pays event officials and contracts, and observes the department’s rules.

It is a guarantee, not insurance for you: if the promoter fails to pay officials, taxes, or contractual obligations, the harmed party or the state can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. We issue the department-set amount, priced from $100 with no credit fields in the application.
