Why do I need this bond?
This specific bond ensures that principals (lottery retailers) will pay all taxes and fees owed to the state on time and in full. If a lottery retailer fails to pay all of the appropriate tariffs and a claim is brought against the bond, the surety will compensate the state for all taxes owed. The lottery retailer is then responsible for reimbursing the surety for all amounts paid out.
Specifically, Maryland lottery agency surety bonds require all lottery retailers to abide by the rules and regulations set by the Maryland Lottery Agency.
Our experts understand these surety bond terms and are ready to answer all of your questions. Fill out an online surety bond request, and one of our specialists will contact you right away to begin your bond application.
What’s the fine print?
The bond can be issued for a specific term, or it can be issued to remain in effect continuously until canceled. The state requires at least 60 days notice from the surety company if the bond were to be canceled.
