Before you start

You will need:

  • Your Iowa Lottery retailer location or sales agent information
  • gemRetailer portal username or login instructions provided by Iowa Lottery
  • Owner, manager, or authorized contact information for the store
  • Access to the email inbox tied to your retailer account
  • Any official instructions from Iowa Lottery regarding reports or portal access
  • If gemRetailer credentials, report access, or the correct account contact is unclear, contact Iowa Lottery support before attempting repeated logins or creating duplicate access requests.

Active retailers should only use the official Iowa gemRetailer portal and instructions provided by Iowa Lottery. If credentials are missing, expired, tied to a former employee, or report access is unclear, contact support before proceeding.

For active Iowa Lottery retailers

  1. Go to the official Iowa gemRetailer portal at iaret.sgretailerportal.com/faces/login.xhtml?dswid=-7388.
