Connecticut Lottery Sales Agent Bond
Overview
Approved to sell Connecticut Lottery tickets? Before you can activate your sales agent account, the state requires a surety bond. This bond guarantees that you will handle lottery proceeds, unsold tickets, and related funds according to Connecticut's lottery regulations. It protects the state against financial loss caused by mishandling, non-remittance, or failure to comply with your agent agreement.
Who Needs This Bond?
Retail store owners, convenience store operators, and gas station proprietors who have been approved — or are seeking approval — to sell Connecticut Lottery tickets all need this bond. If Connecticut Lottery has notified you that a surety bond is required as part of your sales agent agreement, this is the bond you need. It applies statewide to any individual or business entity accepting a lottery sales agent license.
What is this Bond For?
Connecticut Lottery Corporation is the obligee — the party protected by this bond. As the principal, you are bonded to ensure that all lottery ticket proceeds are properly accounted for and remitted on time. If you fail to remit funds, misappropriate ticket stock, or breach your agent agreement, Connecticut Lottery can make a claim against this bond to recover those losses.
When is it Required?
During the lottery sales agent application or renewal process, Connecticut Lottery will require you to submit proof of this bond before your agent agreement is executed or your account is activated. You cannot legally sell lottery tickets in Connecticut under an agent agreement without satisfying this bonding requirement first. Have your bond ready before your agreement signing date.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is a statewide Connecticut requirement enforced by Connecticut Lottery Corporation. It applies at any retail location in the state where you are licensed to sell lottery products. There is no local or county-level variation — the same requirement applies whether your store is in Hartford, Bridgeport, New Haven, or anywhere else in Connecticut.
