About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the lottery retailer bond actually covers

The Missouri State Lottery is administered by the Lottery Commission under Chapter 313, RSMo. A licensed lottery game retailer sells tickets and collects proceeds that belong to the state — so under RSMo 313.255, the Commission may require every retailer to post a bond, bonding fee, or letter of credit in the amount it sets.

The bond is a financial guarantee that the retailer will account for and remit the lottery proceeds it collects, and otherwise comply with the lottery laws and the Commission’s rules. If a retailer keeps or fails to remit ticket money, the Commission can recover against the bond.

Retailers approved for the Commission’s self-bonding program may not need a surety bond at all; those who don’t qualify commonly post a $30,000 bond per terminal location. The exact figure is set by the Commission — enter it and we issue the bond at a flat 3% with no credit check.

Retailers approved for the Commission’s self-bonding program may be exempt; others commonly post a $30,000 surety bond per terminal location. Confirm your required amount with the Lottery Commission.
