Get informed about the importance of this surety bond to your success!

If you are an operator of a game promotion that has a prize value of more than $5,000, you are required to obtain this surety bond.

 

A Game Promotion Bond is a surety bond required of certain operators of game promotions in the State of Florida. Game promotion includes, but is not limited to, the following:

  • Sweepstakes
  • Contest
  • Gift enterprise
  • Game of chance

The purpose of the surety bond is to protect the winners of the game promotion in case the operator fails to give the winner the full amount of the prize. If this happens, the Obligee may withdraw the amount from the surety bond by filing a claim.

 

This requirement is by Section 849.094 of the Florida Statutes.

 

What is the Game Promotion Bond amount?

The bond amount will depend on the game promotion’s prize value. The bond amount should be equivalent to the total amount of all prizes offered by the operator.

 

Your bond premium will depend on your credit score. Those who have an excellent credit score will be able to pay as little as 1% of the bond amount!
