What it is and who needs it.
What the lottery bond actually covers
The Department of Consumer Protection licenses retailers — “lottery sales agents” — to sell Connecticut Lottery tickets (CGS § 12-815a). A retailer collects the public’s money on the lottery’s behalf and settles up with the CLC on a regular cycle. The bond secures that settlement.
Under CGS § 12-813, the president of the CLC may require sales agents to provide surety bonds, letters of credit, or other acceptable security to ensure performance of their duties and obligations to the corporation. The bond is what lets the CLC recover ticket proceeds an agent fails to remit.
The CLC sets the amount — typically based on your sales volume and settlement terms — so there’s no single statewide figure. Tell us the amount the CLC named; pricing is variable and starts from $100, and no credit check up to $10,000.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the CLC. Submit the executed bond to the Connecticut Lottery Corporation with your sales-agent license. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is 2% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $10,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
