Would a fraudster actually need to know the card's PIN?

Not for online transactions...the house number and postcode of the address the card is registered to and the 3 numbers on the back of the card will be enough.

Personally, when adding a new gambling site I have an account with a zero balance for this. I'll transfer the right amount of money from my day to day current account seconds before clicking deposit so that's all they can have if the details were to be accessed by a rogue individual at the company.

Actually no, they just need the last 3 digits of the card once you have registered the card

You haven't mentioned that you asked Barclays to stop your card, in order to prevent further unauthorised use of your card. Did you omit to mention this?
