Security

PaddyPowerBingo.com recognise that online security is an area of vital importance for all our clients. It is imperative that you should be fully satisfied that your personal details are 100% secure before you commence playing.

Windows XP users

Microsoft has just introduced a new service pack (SP2) for Windows XP. One of the new features of the service pack is an Internet Explorer Pop-up Blocker which should make browsing the internet more enjoyable. Unfortunately, you might experience problems with using PaddyPowerBingo.com.

Using Pop-up Blocker

When you install SP2, Pop-up Blocker is turned on in Internet Explorer and set to the medium setting, which means it will block most automatic pop-ups. The default settings for the pop-up blocker allow you to see pop-ups that are opened when you click a link or button on a Web site. Pop-up Blocker will also play a sound and show the Information Bar when a pop-up is blocked. You can adjust these settings so that Pop-up Blocker works the way you want it to.

To change Pop-up Blocker settings

• Open Internet Explorer.
• On the Tools menu, point to Pop-up Blocker, and then click Pop-up Blocker Settings. 
• In order for you use PaddyPowerBingo.com you must select the Medium setting.

For more information on how to adjust the security settings please visit http://www.microsoft.com/.

Tip: To temporarily allow a site to display pop-ups, click the Information Bar when it notifies you that a pop-up has been blocked. Then click Temporarily Allow Pop-ups.

Encryption

A key area of online security is encryption using the SSL mechanism, that is to say that information you provide us with is encrypted so that it cannot be read across the Internet. 128-bit SSL Encryption is used on all pages of our payment system.

Firewalls

Another key measure of online security is the Firewall. This sits between the PaddyPowerBingo.com Web server and the Internet, providing further protection against non-authorised access. Access to the server is strictly controlled by the firewall, ensuring maximum protection for the website.

Added Security

If you are logged into your account for some time without using it the system will automatically log you out for security reasons.

Credit Card Verification

Once we receive your Card details we carry out a check of your Card with our credit card checking facility. This ensures the number you entered actually corresponds to a real credit card number and is not one that has been made up.

We also do random security checks on a continuous basis to ensure that no fraudulent use is being made of a Card. This verification of your details is carried out over a secure line to the bank. Card data is, at no time, sent over the Internet during the validation process nor does the bank give out any details to us over the phone, we simply state what information we have and they will let us know if it is correct or not.

Incorrect details associated with your card will result in your account being suspended for security reasons.
