Virginia Skill Game Machine Distributor or Owner Bond
Overview
Get bonded as a Virginia skill game machine distributor or owner and meet the state's financial responsibility requirement before you place a single machine in operation. Virginia regulates skill game machines at the statewide level, and this bond is how you demonstrate to the Commonwealth that your business stands behind its obligations. Without it, you cannot lawfully distribute or operate skill game machines in Virginia.
Who Needs This Bond?
If you distribute skill game machines to locations across Virginia, or if you own skill game machines that are placed and operated at businesses in the state, this bond is required of you. It applies whether you are an established operator expanding your fleet or a new entrant setting up your first machines. Both distributors and owners fall under this statewide bonding requirement, and the obligation is yours before you begin operations.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects the Commonwealth of Virginia by guaranteeing that skill game machine distributors and owners comply with the state's regulatory requirements governing the placement and operation of these machines. It gives the state a financial remedy if a bonded distributor or owner fails to meet their legal obligations. Think of it as your pledge to operate within Virginia's rules — backed by real dollars.
When is it Required?
Renewal and ongoing compliance are central to this bond — it must remain active for as long as you are licensed or authorized to distribute or own skill game machines in Virginia. The requirement is triggered at the point of initial licensure or registration with the state and must not lapse at any point during your active period of operation. Letting the bond expire while your machines are still in the field puts your authorization at immediate risk.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is a statewide Virginia requirement and covers your activities as a skill game machine distributor or owner anywhere in the Commonwealth. It is not tied to a specific city, county, or locality — it is issued to satisfy a state-level regulatory obligation. No matter where in Virginia your machines are placed, this single bond supports your statewide standing.
