About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Minnesota requires every organization conducting lawful gambling to designate a gambling manager, licensed by the Gambling Control Board under Minn. Stat. 349.167. The manager must maintain a $10,000 fidelity (dishonesty) bond in favor of the organization, conditioned on the faithful performance of the manager’s duties.

Unlike most license bonds, the obligee is the organization itself, not the state — the bond protects the charitable organization’s gambling funds against dishonesty by the manager handling them. The bond terms must provide that written notice be given to the Board at least 30 days before cancellation.

It is not insurance for the manager — if the surety pays a claim, the manager repays the surety. Managers who handle the organization’s funds honestly treat the bond as a licensing formality, not a risk.

Do I pay the $10,000?No. You pay $100. The $10,000 is the surety’s maximum liability if a valid dishonesty claim is made — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Is there a credit check?Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Small fixed-amount fidelity bonds like this one don’t need one.
