New York Games of Chance Bond: The Amount Required and Purpose of the Surety Bond

The New York games of chance bond must be in an amount that is at least equal to the value of the games, contests, or promotions being offered.

Because the bond is in favor of the people of New York, the surety bond requirement serves as a financial guarantee that games, contests, or promotions won will actually be awarded.

If for any reason the prize is not awarded, the bond allows the winner or winners to make a claim against the value of the prize up to the prize amount.

With these considerations, it is clear, then, that the bond is not a protection for the games of chance promoter, but rather for those who participate and win the promotions.
