Oregon Lottery Retailer Bond
Overview
Selling Oregon Lottery products at your retail location requires more than a signed retailer agreement — the Oregon Lottery requires a surety bond as a condition of your authorization to sell. This bond guarantees that you will properly account for and remit all lottery proceeds, protecting the Oregon Lottery from financial loss caused by your failure to pay. If you've received notice that you need this bond before your retailer license is approved or renewed, you're in the right place.
Who Needs This Bond?
Retail business owners authorized — or seeking authorization — to sell Oregon Lottery tickets and products are the applicants for this bond. If you operate a convenience store, gas station, grocery outlet, or any other retail establishment that has applied to become an Oregon Lottery retailer, this bond is part of your licensing requirement. It applies statewide, so whether your store is in Portland, Medford, or Pendleton, the same obligation applies.
What is this Bond For?
This bond exists to protect the Oregon Lottery from losses caused by a retailer who fails to remit lottery proceeds as required under the retailer agreement. You, as the licensed retailer, are the principal. The Oregon Lottery is the obligee — the party the bond protects. If you collect lottery revenue but fail to turn it over, the bond gives the Lottery a financial remedy.
When is it Required?
Approval of your Oregon Lottery retailer license is the trigger that makes this bond mandatory. You must have the bond in place before the Oregon Lottery will finalize your retailer authorization. This is not optional — it is a condition of the license itself, not something you can satisfy after you've begun selling tickets.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies statewide across Oregon and is governed by the requirements of the Oregon Lottery. There is no county-level or city-level variation — all authorized Oregon Lottery retailers are subject to the same bonding requirement regardless of where in the state they operate.
