Missouri combative sports promoter bonds.
$250 flat.
Missouri requires a promoter of boxing, martial arts, or wrestling exhibitions to file a $25,000 bond with the Office of Athletics under Chapter 317, RSMo. Ours is $250 flat — the price you see is the checkout price. A quick soft credit check may apply; the bond is issued when you pay.

Three steps to licensed.
Your promoter license is waiting on this bond. Here’s the entire process — no broker phone tag:
Apply once, online
Business details, owner information, effective date. That is the application — the only extra step is a one-time consent to a soft credit pull.
Approved
Most are approved as soon as you apply. The credit check is a soft pull that never affects your score. If it needs a second look, one to two business days at most.
E-sign & file with the Office of Athletics
Pay online and receive the executed bond, ready to file with the Division of Professional Registration’s Office of Athletics. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the state insists.
What it is and who needs it.
What the promoter bond actually guarantees
Missouri regulates professional boxing, sparring, wrestling, kickboxing, full-contact karate, and mixed martial arts through the Office of Athletics within the Division of Professional Registration, under Chapter 317, RSMo. House Bill 1388 (effective August 28, 2018) expanded the definition of a combative sports promoter and added the bond requirement.
A promoter must file a $25,000 surety bond (or an irrevocable letter of credit) as part of licensing. The bond guarantees the promoter pays all athletic taxes and license fees owed to the state, and the expenses of contestants and officials for the events it puts on — if a promoter stiffs the state or its fighters and officials, they can recover against the bond.
It is a three-party guarantee, not insurance for you: if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The state uses fixed renewal dates (July 1), so your term aligns to the statutory cycle.
