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 your price, from $100, appears at the application — 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 Lottery Commission. Submit the executed bond with your lottery retailer license application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the Commission insists.
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.
