About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the lottery agent bond actually covers

New Hampshire's state lottery is run by the Lottery Commission under RSA 284, and the retailers who sell tickets are licensed as lottery sales agents. A retailer collects lottery proceeds that belong to the state, so the Commission protects those funds — and a surety bond is one of the tools it uses.

The bond is required mainly when a retailer does not meet the Commission's creditworthiness standard. Many retailers with strong credit are never bonded; the bond steps in as security for the retailer whose credit doesn't satisfy the Commission, guaranteeing the lottery proceeds are remitted.

The amount is set by the Lottery Commission as part of licensing — there's no single fixed statutory figure. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Enter the amount the Commission set and we issue it at a flat 3%, no credit check.

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

Do all lottery retailers need this bond? +

How much is the New Hampshire lottery agent bond? +
The premium is a flat 3% of the bond amount, with a $275 minimum. The amount itself is set by the Lottery Commission as part of licensing, so enter that figure and the quote updates.
What does the bond guarantee? +
That you remit the lottery proceeds you collect to the state. The proceeds belong to the Commission, and the bond is its security if a retailer fails to pay them over — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.
Is there a credit check? +
No — the lottery agent bond is issued with no credit pull. Larger bond amounts may get a quick soft-pull review, which never affects your credit score.
