Placing an order
We accept Visa, Visa Debit, Mastercard, Switch,
Solo and Amex.
|
Click on any items that you wish to buy and
put them into the shopping cart. After you have
finished your selection, click on "Checkout".
You can enter a separate delivery address, but
the invoicing address MUST correspond to the
address at which your card is registered - otherwise
your bank may not authorise the transaction,
or your order may be delayed whilst security
checks are made.
After entering addresses details, you will progress
to a secure area on PROTX's (Lloyds bank) computer
to enter your card details. Please DO NOT hit
the "Back" button after this as the
secure connection will be severed and the computer
will think you are a hacker!! In this case,
you may have to start all over again. You will
see the "Golden Padlock" symbol in
your browser while you are on the PROTX
server.
We are also able to accept orders by fax on
01423-526035. Please remember to include all
of the following: details of what you want to
buy, invoice and delivery address, card type,
card number, expiry date, issue number if switch,
and CVV number.
If you would prefer to order by cheque, please
make payable to "World of Gambling LLP " and
send to World of Gambling, PO Box 200, Harrogate
HG1 2YR.

Security
We know of no documented cases of credit card
fraud using our shopping system over the Internet.
All credit card numbers are encrypted in the
software when the order is placed using 128
bit encryption on a PROTX (Lloyds Banks) secure
SSL server (note: you will only see the golden
padlock symbol on the page where you enter your
credit card number). The number then goes straight
to the processing bank where it is authorised.
No human will 'see' the numbers and they are
not held in clear text on any web site. Click
for more details.
Whilst this is undoubtedly very secure, Gamble.co.uk
do not receive your numbers so we are unable
to add items to the order once it is placed.
Internet Fraud in General
Unfortunately, certain self-interested sections
of the Internet industry have induced a form
of ignorance-based paranoia in the minds of
the media. The media moguls then go out and
write reams of scare stories to fill their newspapers
and magazines (What better way to sell your
security software?).
While we are not denying that some fraud has
and can take place, it is extremely rare and
is far outweighed by the fraud which takes place
in 'real' life. Apart from the encryption routine
detailed above, we have had to satisfy all the
credit card companies that our security routines
are robust, otherwise they wouldn't deal with
us. Even then, they insist that we use a dedicated
line for Internet orders, which is completely
separate from our normal mail order transactions.
All of that is after our own bank has gone through
our processes with a fine toothcomb - simply
because the words "credit card" and "Internet"
scare the wits out of all of those in banking.
Compare that if you will, with the fraud that
takes place when you buy something in a shop.
Who is looking over your shoulder when you sign
your credit card slip? Have you ever thought
about what happens to the carbon sheet between
your copy and the shops? It goes straight in
the bin to be picked up by anybody who wants
to, either in the shop or in the outside bin
at night. And what about the shop assistant
you are dealing with? You know, the one who
is only there part time on a Saturday. When
you last placed a phone order, did you ask who
was listening when you read out your number?
Did you know that by far the majority of card
fraud is perpetrated by those who were supposed
to see your card details in the first place?
That is why, here at TTL, only two people will
ever see your details, both of them have worked
at the company for 14 years, so we reckon they
are pretty trustworthy.
