What is a New York Games of Chance Bond?

Know why this surety bond matters and how to get one fast!

You need this surety bond if you:

  • Promote consumer goods or services by offering any person the opportunity to receive prizes, gifts, or gratuities through a game or contest
  • The prize is more than $5,000

A surety bond is needed to ensure that the person, company, or business entity who will run the game, contest, promotion, or advertising scheme will fulfill its obligations which include awarding the prize to the winner.

 

Through the surety bond – by Section 369-e of the New York Consolidated Laws, General Business Law – the winner will be compensated up to the penal sum of the bond should the Principal defaults on its obligations.

 

What is the Games of Chance Bond amount?

The bond amount will vary per applicant. The bond amount should be equal to the amount of the prize being offered or advertised.
