Why do I need this bond?
By posting a Washington lottery bond, principals (lottery retailers) pledge to comply with all provisions of RCW 67.70.040(l)(i), WAC 315-06-035, and WAC 315-30-070. Specifically, these bonds ensure that principals handle all revenue earned from lottery ticket sales appropriately and in accordance with the laws of the state of Washington, provide all payments owed to the Lottery for lottery products, display responsible gaming informational materials at their retail location, maintain funds to pay lottery prizes in amounts less than $600, and notify the authorized vendor and the lottery district sales representative to report any malfunctioning equipment as soon as possible and more.
If the principal fails to adhere to these terms, the bond protects harmed parties from financial loss up to the full amount of the bond.
What’s the fine print?
Lottery bonds in Washington are continuous until canceled. The surety can cancel the bond by sending written notice of cancellation to the principal and Washington’s Lottery stating the date of termination, which must be at least 30 days after the notice is received.
