SECTION 429:10-1-4. Retailer selection criteria

  In addition to the retailer selection criteria in the Act, OLC will consider the criteria enumerated herein:

(1)   It is the intent of OLC that all retailers sell both instant and online (computerized or pick-you-own numbers) games, thus retailer selection criteria for retailers of instant tickets and retailers of online (computerized or pick-your-own numbers) games are identical.

(2)   Retailer applicants shall, at the time of application, consent to the requirements of the Act and the requirements enumerated herein, which may be revised and/or amended by the OLC subject to Board approval and notification to retailers.

(3)   Persons applying to become lottery retailers shall be charged a uniform application fee of $95. The OLC may designate a portion of this fee as a non-refundable application fee and the remaining portion to cover the retailer bonding requirements;

(4)   All lottery retailer contracts may be renewable annually from the date of issuance at the discretion of the OLC, unless sooner canceled or terminated.

(5)   No certificate of authority to act as a lottery retailer shall be issued to any applicant doing business or who holds a license to do business as a pawnbroker, supervised lender, or deferred deposit lender, also known as a payday lender, or whose primary business is categorized as a check casher.
