I think if you are relying on a timer other than one on your server the prizes should not be very valuable! I think the security should be in the timer on your server. I would suggest maybe everybody could be on the same timer and so you might have to be logged in as long as 59 min. before you become eligible (in the next hour). You could display "next giveaway begins in..." A local timer is too easy to defeat, just by switching computers for example.
You mean if I click on something that says free gift I might really get something besides a virus?![]()

I log out in 59 minutes with one minute left till the first gift will be available. I log back in and there should be 1 minute left. But lastGivenTime is still null. Now you have to do extra work to find last login time, and use that in the calculation too.
I really just kind of throwing out random thoughts here. You've probably thought through all this already, but I do find this to be kind of fun.
