How much does a lottery retailer bond cost in Florida?
The Florida Lottery requires lottery retailers to post a surety bond to legally operate within the state.
These bonds are subject to underwriting, which means the amount you’ll pay depends on a review of your personal credit report. Less-than-stellar credit? Don’t worry! SuretyBonds.com has a history of getting 99% of applicants bonded quickly, easily and accurately. Request a free bond quote now!

Why do I need this bond?
Florida lottery bonds ensure that principals (lottery retailers) account for and promptly pay all money due to the Florida Lottery and comply with the provisions of all statutes, rules and regulations of the Florida Lottery. If the principal fails to comply with these terms, the bond protects the Florida Lottery from financial loss.
