Full review of Noble Poker


Summary (6.60)
World-exclusive $900 sign-up bonus at 100% deposit match only via PokersListings! Plus a monthly $2,500 private freeroll for all first time depositors coming from PokersListings! Noble Poker is the leading poker room in the new “iPoker network” initiative by PlayTech. The games are very loose with lots of casino players and there are high value promotions (especially considering the moderate volume of players). Noble Poker and the iPoker network has been successful in quickly building a strong network, with the strategic backing from the world’s second largest casino software provider. Noble Poker’s software has an innovative and good interface, with both standard 2D view and 3D view (side view with avatars) and colorful graphics. The functionality is good and the early minor glitches in the software are fixed now. The potential of the software is very strong. There are Holdem and Omaha (High and High-Low) ring games, as well as heads-up, sit-and-go and multi-table tournaments.

Software and graphics (6)
Noble Poker’s software and players base is part of iPoker, which in turn is developed by PlayTech. The graphics are nice and clear and the functionality is good. Noble Poker has buddy list function, game history function, player notes, lots of options for music/sounds/graphics/etc, pot- and no-limit ring games, live floor managers and all types of tournaments. On the negative side, there are some small glitches making the playability less than perfect and the playing tempo is too slow with high time allotment for players. As soon as traffic has been built up and some small software updates are done, this will be a quite nice room to play at.

Ring game traffic (4)
Noble Poker and the iPoker network have about 200-350 ring game players at peak hours in July 2005..

Tournament traffic (5)
The traffic at the tournaments is higher than at cash games when real money traffic can reach somewhere around 400-700 players at peak hours in July 2005.

Game variety (4)
Noble Poker has moderate game variety with Texas Holdem and Omaha Hi-Lo and High, which are available in both limit, pot-limit and Texas Holdem in no-limit as well. Table stakes are from $0.5/$1 to $20/$40 in the fixed games, with $0.25/$0.50 up to $5/$10 in pot-limit and no-limit versions. (The fixed limit Omaha games have a bit lower maximum limits) There are both heads-up, sit-and-go and fixed schedule multi-table tournaments.

Rake (6)
The rake at Noble Poker is actually better than the average online. The general policy is the standard 5% rake taken in increments up to $3. But on several types of tables there are lower max rakes. On fixed limit tables up to $1/$2 there is a $1 max rake. More importantly all tables with 2-3 players have a max rake of $1 and tables with 4-5 players have a $2 max rake – which also includes no-limit and pot-limit short handed games! There is a "no flop - no drop" policy for hands not reaching the flop.

Soft competition (8)
Noble Poker has quite soft games. Most of the volume is in the no-limit Texas Holdem games where the view flop percentage is normally is the 40-ies or 50-ies. The players are also quite passive, so it is quite easy to be a winning player. The potential for the iPoker network to build soft games is very good as they recruit from the PlayTech online casino base and with aggressive marketing.

Sign up bonus (10)
World-exclusive bonus deal to PokersListings users of up to $900 sign-up bonus at 100% deposit match. Bonuses are paid in $10 increments and paid out on a daily basis, which is also very good. Standard promotion is 100% deposit match up to $700 bonus. There is a 90 day time limit to reach the required hands. For each played hand (getting dealt cards) in a raked pot a player earns 1-4 crowns depending on table limits. $0.25/$0.50 blinds give 1 crown and $1.00/$2.00 blinds and up give 4 crowns. 500 crowns will give $10 bonus. Hence in order to clear all of the $900 bonus you need to have earned 45,000 crowns, which equals 11,250 participated hands at a $1/$2 game.

Loyalty bonus (6)
There is a "crowns system", whereby players get entered into special free rolls and can get high value re-load bonus offers.

Promotions (9)
Special $900 bonus at 100% match for our users, see above. Plus $2,500 private freeroll for all new depositors coming from PokersListings, which is held the first Saturday every month for all first time depositors the previous calendar month! Overall there are a lot of promotions at Noble Poker as they are building up volume with their new network. There are quite a few free rolls. There are high hand and bad beat prizes. Recruit-a-friend earns you $25 per qualified friend, which is quite meager though.

Support (8)
Great options with 24/7 telephone support as well as live online and email support at Noble Poker.

Financial security (9)
Should be secure, as this room is part of iPoker, which is backed by the renowned casino software developer and operator PlayTech.
