What it is and who needs it.
What the lottery bond actually covers
Colorado licenses lottery retailers through the State Lottery Division, part of the Department of Revenue. A retailer collects money on the Lottery's behalf for every ticket sold, so the state requires each retailer to be bonded before activating sales.
You can satisfy the requirement two ways: let the Lottery self-bond you for an annual fee, or post your own surety bond in the amount the Lottery sets for your account. The bond is payable for the benefit of the public and the Lottery, and protects against a retailer failing to remit the proceeds it owes.
Because the required amount is set per account, you enter whatever figure the Lottery asks for and we issue at a flat 3% with no credit check. The self-bond option is commonly modest — around $2,000 per location — so for many retailers this lands at our $275 minimum.
