Current through Register Vol. 18, September 20, 2024
(1) Sales agents
who sell scratch or terminal-issued tickets are entitled to a 5 percent base
commission of the face value of tickets sold.
(2) Sales agents who sell scratch tickets may
increase the scratch ticket commission up to an additional 5 percent.
(a) Each sales agent is assigned a scratch
ticket sales base. The scratch ticket sales base is determined using the prior
fiscal year's average scratch ticket pack activations minus pack
returns.
(b) For each sales
quarter, the sales agent's scratch tickets are measured against the assigned
base by scratch tickets activated and not returned to the lottery.
(c) For each 2 percent increase in sales
agent's sales over the established base sales during the sales quarter, the
sales agent's commission must be increased by an additional 0.5 percent, not to
exceed a 10 percent total commission for any quarter.
(3) Sales agents who sell terminal-issued
tickets designated in lottery policy may increase the terminal-issued
commission for participating games up to an additional 5 percent.
(a) Each sales agent is assigned a
terminal-issued ticket sales base for participating games. The terminal-issued
ticket quarterly sales base is determined by a sales agent's previous year's
sales performance. Sales agents with quarterly revenue greater than $1,000 are
eligible for this bonus program.
(b) For each sales quarter, the sales agent's
terminal-issued tickets are measured against the assigned base by gross sales
for participating games.
(c) Sales
agents who achieve the minimum sales quarter growth requirement must receive an
additional bonus rate commission for participating terminal-issued games, not
to exceed a 10 percent total commission for any quarter.
(4) Sales agent ticket sales bases, minimum
requirements, and bonus rates may be adjusted annually at the discretion of the
commission.
(5) Annually, the
director's staff shall review the plan for providing additional commissions to
sales agents based on incremental sales and report to the commission. This
review will include a recommendation for maintaining the existing plan or
modifying the plan for the next year.
(6) The sales agent commission for sports
wagers will be set by the State Lottery and Sports Wagering Commission. Prior
to changing the sales agent base commission rate for sports wagers, the State
Lottery and Sports Wagering Commission shall:
(a) provide notice of the proposed change and
opportunity for public comment;
(b)
consider the impact of the proposed change on sales agents, the state, and
other parties involved in the operation of sports wagering; and
(c) ensure the proposed change is equitable
and does not disproportionally impact or burden sales agents, the state, and
other parties involved in the operation of sports wagering.
