New Hampshire Lottery Agent Bond
Overview
Retailers authorized to sell New Hampshire Lottery tickets must carry this surety bond before they can operate as a licensed lottery agent. It guarantees that every dollar collected from ticket sales is accurately accounted for and remitted to the New Hampshire Lottery Commission. If a retailer fails to turn over sales proceeds or otherwise breaches their agent agreement, the bond gives the Commission a financial remedy. This is a state-level requirement tied directly to your lottery agent license — not a local permit.
Who Needs This Bond?
Convenience store owners, gas station operators, and grocery retailers who want to sell New Hampshire Lottery tickets all need this bond. Any individual or business entity applying to become a licensed lottery agent in New Hampshire must secure this bond as part of that application. If the Lottery Commission has told you that you need a bond before your agent number is issued, this is the one.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects the New Hampshire Lottery Commission by ensuring lottery agents fulfill their financial obligations under the agent agreement. Specifically, it covers the proper collection and remittance of ticket sale proceeds. If a licensed agent pockets sales revenue, fails to remit funds, or otherwise defaults on their financial duties, the Commission can make a claim against the bond to recover those losses. The bond holds lottery agents accountable and protects the integrity of the state lottery program.
When is it Required?
During the lottery agent application process, the New Hampshire Lottery Commission will require proof of this bond before issuing your agent license or authorizing ticket sales at your location. You will need to have the bond executed and submitted alongside — or as part of — your completed agent application. Do not wait until after approval to secure it; the bond is typically a condition of approval, not a follow-up step.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is a statewide New Hampshire requirement and applies to any location operating as an authorized lottery agent across the state. It is governed by the New Hampshire Lottery Commission, not a city or county authority. Whether your store is in Manchester, Concord, or a small town in Grafton County, the same statewide bond requirement applies.
