How Does a Texas Bingo Manufacturer Bond Work? 

A Texas bingo manufacturer bond creates a financial guarantee between three parties: 

  1. Principal: The bingo manufacturer 
  2. Obligee: The Texas Lottery Commission, Charitable Bingo Operations Division
  3. Surety: The underwriting surety provider

In this contract, you , the principal, are responsible for upholding the bond terms to the obligee. If you break state rules or regulations outlined in the bond, you become liable for bond claims. 

The surety will validate and pay claims up to $10,000, but then you must reimburse the surety in full. 

Who Needs a Bingo Manufacturer Bond? 

Any individual or business that is licensed to manufacture bingo supplies, equipment or devices in Texas must file this bond. The bond requirement helps ensure adherence to Section 2001.204 of The Bingo Enabling Act.
