   Color Philosophy:
   - Deep slate-blue backgrounds for authority (#0c1222, #162032)
   - Bright cyan for trust, ratings, active states (#06b6d4, #0891b2)
   - Hot orange for CTAs and conversion (#f97316, #ea580c)
   - Cool whites with blue tint for cards (#f0f4ff, #e8edf5)
   - Sports-energy feel: bold, fast, confident
   
   Distinct from poker-affiliate sites: no emerald/gold combo,
   no casino-premium aesthetic. This is sporty and sharp.
