How do I become a Lotterywest Retailer?

You can become a Lotterywest retailer in one of two ways:

1. Purchase a business with an existing Lotterywest outlet.
When an application is received to purchase an existing business, Lotterywest assesses the suitability of the applicant together with any proposed changes to the current business.

2. Submit an Expression of Interest for a new outlet at a location predetermined by Lotterywest.
For a new outlet, Lotterywest will advertise new location opportunities, generally on a quarterly basis. Expressions of Interest applications need to be submitted by the deadline and assessment of these applications begins.

All prospective retailers are required to apply to Lotterywest, and are assessed against the following two key criteria:

• The suitability of the business type and site location.
• The suitability of the applicant.

Business plan assessments, site visits and face-to-face interviews with prospective retailer owners and managers are conducted with the shortlisted candidates to assess the suitability of the site and the applicant.

The chosen applicant will be required to have owners and managers of their store successfully complete complete the Managing a Lottery Outlet (MALO) Program, consisting of a 3-day competency-based training program, prior to the commencement of selling authorised lottery products.
