Introduction

Supporters can buy match tickets, Gift vouchers and claim tickets. At the end of each month a winner will be announced for the lottery and they can raise the funds for the clubs they are supporting. Winner will get the amounts and prizes for each month. All supporters will get a chance to win prizes of up to £25,000 for just £1 per week.

Business Challenges

As My Club Lotto is completely a financial platform, it’s a huge challenge to take care of even the most minor calculations. If something goes wrong with the calculation that can cause financial risk and disputes to the organization. Also, the platform needs high level data security.

To integrate the system with the ZOHO CRM to pass the lead and club data on CRM.
To implement ZOHO forms and ZOHO analytics.
To develop a fully automated system to transfer the winning amounts to clubs and winners.
To implement ticket selling module and gift voucher functionality using that supporters can claim the tickets.
To implement high level data security for the clubs and supporters data and to avoid any shell attacks on the platform.

Solutions

As our team have developed many portals regarding finance, we have allocated the same team for the development of this portal and after development we have performed security testing of shell attacks and XSS vulnerability and delivered a fully tested website.

We have used ZOHO API endpoints and created a bridge API to pass all data to ZOHO CRM and store on the CRM only.
We have developed a custom plugins for the different calculation formulation and given a flexibility to admin to change calculation logics anytime from the setting area.
We have used well known PDF voucher plugin for the ticket selling and gift voucher features to achieve both functionality using a single plugin.
We have implemented shell protection on each file upload field and also, storing all clubs and supporters data to ZOHO directly instead of server.
