What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Wisconsin regulates professional boxing and mixed martial arts through the Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS). Under Wis. Stat. 444.035, a promoter or club must post a bond of not less than $10,000 with its license application to secure payment of the expenses of an event.
The bond protects the people owed money when an event happens — in the order the statute sets, the department, then the contestants (the fighters), then the officials. If a promoter fails to pay those obligations, they can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you. If the surety pays a valid claim, you repay the surety. Promoters who pay their fighters and officials treat the bond as a license formality — we track it and notify you ahead of expiration so your DSPS license never lapses over a missed renewal.

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 $10,000 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 your DSPS application. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your boxing or MMA promoter license application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $10,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
