Many people did not settle with just being players of the lottery games operated by the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office or more popularly called PCSO. Some individuals applied for a franchise so they can operate their own authorized lotto outlet or booth.
If you are interested to apply for a lotto franchise, the target area must be at least 100 meters away from elementary and secondary schools and at least 100 meters away from existing lotto outlets (a minimum of 200 meters in provinces). You must also be prepared to pay for the PCSO lotto franchise fee for application.
The PCSO lotto franchise fee for application was set at Php 2,500 per proposed site for the lotto outlet.
Pay for the Lotto Franchise Application Fee
If you are done submitting the duly-accomplished PCSO Lotto / Keno Application Form, the ketch of the Location/Google Map of the proposed outlet site, and the pictures of the proposed outlet/site including its surrounding vicinity, you will have to pay for the PCSO lotto franchise fee for application to push through with the application process.
The application fee for franchise must be paid for to the PCSO Main Office Treasury Dept. or the Branch Office that covers the proposed site location.
Initial Inspection and Evaluation of the Proposed Site
The Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office will inspect the proposed area. Within three (3) to five (5) working days, expect an updated from the lotto-operating body regarding the result of the inspection. Make sure to keep the communication lines open.
Once the proposed area passed the inspection of the PCSO, the next step will be the assessment of the qualification of the applicant. There are varying eligibility and documentary requirements for PCSO Lotto franchise among the individual applications and the applications done by a partnerships and corporation.
