Code Standards & Theme Guidelines

Engineering

• Project uses PHP 8+, SQLite, and PSR-12 styling.
• Prepared statements and password hashing (password_hash / verify).
• Basic XSS protection via esc(). Enable HTTPS in production.
• No inline secrets in repo; use environment variables for live deployments.

Content & UX (Lottery Theme)

• Bright, festive visuals; mobile-first; animations used sparingly to avoid motion sickness.
• Clear prices in AUD, transparent odds/description on draw pages.
• Show “Responsible Play” links in footer and header navigation.
• Do not use deceptive wording or promise certain wins.

Legal/Compliance (Non-binding)

• 18+ only, demo site, no real-money gambling here.
• Display contact details with Australian format and timezone.
• Use PayPal link buttons or sandbox for testing; real integrations require merchant approval.
