What the lottery retailer bond covers
Ohio licenses lottery sales retailers through the Ohio Lottery Commission, and under R.C. 3770.05 the Commission may require a retailer to post a surety bond as a condition of its license. The bond backs the retailer's compliance with the lottery laws, rules, and policies.
Its core purpose is to guarantee that the retailer remits the lottery funds it collects. Lottery sales money belongs to the Commission; if a retailer fails to turn over what it owes, the Commission can recover the shortfall against the bond.
The base bond is $15,000, but the Commission can require a higher amount based on your sales volume — a high-volume retailer handling more lottery money carries a larger bond. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Enter the amount on your Commission notice and we issue it at a flat 3%.
