What it covers

We pay the prize if a contestant wins

If a contestant wins the insured prize under the contest rules, the carrier pays the prize directly. The same prize indemnity structure is used for half-court shots, putting contests, and sweepstakes. Coverage starts at $499; the actual premium varies by prize value, the odds of someone winning, the contest structure, any promotional requirements, and underwriting review.

  • Hole-in-one prizes on a designated contest hole (cars, cash, vacations, trips)
  • Half-court and full-court basketball shots at halftime or fan promotions
  • Putting contests and million-dollar putt promotions
  • Sweepstakes grand prizes when underwritten in advance
  • Field-goal kicks, baseball pitches, and other on-field fan contests
  • Trade-show and brand-activation prize promotions

What we need to quote

Typical underwriting inputs

These are the inputs we typically review to model the odds and set the premium. They are typical inputs, not a guarantee that we bind; every contest is subject to underwriting review.

  • Number of players

    How many golfers are competing in the tournament.

  • Contest hole yardage

    The distance of the hole where the prize is offered; shorter holes carry different odds than longer ones.

  • Prize value

    The dollar value of the car, cash, or trip being offered.

  • Event date

    The tournament date so coverage can be bound for the right period.

  • Contest rules

    How many attempts, which tee, and any qualifying conditions.

  • Promotional requirements

    Whether signage, witnesses, or video verification are part of the promotion.

How it relates to prize indemnity

Hole in one insurance is prize indemnity

Hole in one insurance is one form of prize indemnity insurance, the coverage that backs a high-value promotional prize for a small premium. The same structure funds half-court basketball shots, million-dollar putts, field-goal kicks, and sweepstakes grand prizes. If you are running more than one contest, or a prize that is not a golf hole in one, our Prize Indemnity page walks through every contest type we back and how the premium is set.
