What is an Arkansas Scholarship Uniform Lottery Retailer License Bond?

A guide to one of the most important requirements for becoming a licensed lottery retailer in Arkansas!

 

How beneficial is this surety bond to a lottery retailer like you? Through this bond, you will…

  • Acquire and maintain your license
  • Gain commissions – which is more than $100 million to date
  • And the most amazing benefit of it all: You will be a part of an industry that has given out more than $600 million worth of scholarships to various colleges and universities in Arkansas!

The surety bond will be required by the Office of the Arkansas Lottery for licensed retailers who are not allowed to participate in the self-bond program.

 

It will be conditioned that the surety bond should cover the licensed retailer’s obligations such as remitting the proceeds of sales, as well as unsold lottery tickets to the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery. In case the licensed retailer defaults on any of the aforementioned obligations, the Obligee will be financially compensated.

 

This requirement is in compliance with Section 23-115-603 of the Arkansas Code.
