    CD WOW sells games and accepts Debit cards. They are a good site with a decent selection and fair price.

    Gamesnash also accept debit card.

    Is it still the case that debit cards aren't insured against internet fraud when used online?

    Take a look at the "Your opinions of gamesnash" thread in this forum. They are well worth the extra few euro.

    As far as I know you are correct.

    Laser cards transactions do not have as much anti fraud tools / systems in place as Visa / Mastercard. However should your card be used fraudulently your bank will charge back the retailer on your behalf.

    That's why you have so much trouble finding a site outside of Ireland where you can use a laser card online.

    OP see can you get a visa electron card from your bank. I think halifax do them. UK sites all accept them. They're treated like a visa card except its a debit instead of credit.
