For Retailers

Retailer Renewals

As required by North Carolina general statute chapter 18C, an applicant to be a retailer must undergo background investigations to include: criminal background review, tax filing status review, and a financial credit review. As part of the renewal process, the NCEL may perform these reviews and any unsatisfactory issues will need to be resolved in order to continue as a lottery retailer. Upon approval, your contract will be renewed for a period of three (3) years and a new Certificate of Authority will be issued.

Contract Renewal Application

In support of the NC Lottery’s Responsible Gaming program, we desire that at least one representative from each store location complete the responsible gaming training via the website once every three years.
