Sweepstakes Bonding & Registration
If your sweepstakes has a prize pool over $5,000 and is open to residents of New York, Florida, or Rhode Island — you're legally required to register the promotion and post a surety bond.
We manage the entire process:
Prepare and file state registrations
Secure and post necessary bonds
File winner lists post-promotion
Ensure timely filing to meet state deadlines
Let us take care of the paperwork so you can focus on the fun.
