Noble poker review

Summary

Noble Poker is a promising and emerging poker room in the 'iPoker network' developed by PlayTech. The software client is fast, reliable and offers one of the highest levels of security as they are backed by the world's second largest casino software provider. Further they have high value promotions, great bonuses and decent customer service.

Software and Extra Features

The recent update in the software has made it more innovative with good interface, and colorful graphics. My favorite features include player notes, hands history and buddy list. Other functions that have been incorporated are dual viewing modes, full screen options, iPoints (Under development), real-time game history, live support and refer-a-friend. So, overall the functionality is great and the games run smoother and faster.

Sign up Bonus

We have a great sign up bonus offer of up to $300 sign-up bonus at 50% deposit match exclusively for Pokkercards visitors. The bonus is not automatically transferred to your account but paid in $10 increments on a daily basis. The time period to finish the raked or required hands is 90 days. Now how the bonus is paid out? For every raked hand played you earn crowns aka points depending on table limits. So for example $0.25/$0.50 blinds give 1 crown and $2.01/$3.00 blinds and up give 8 crowns. Every 500 crowns earned will give you $10 bonus.

Player Traffic and Competition

Due to great promotions we are seeing a major influx of new players with loose games. Since the client is backed by a casino provider you will see a lot of casino players trying their hand in poker providing further loose action. So, the overall competition is soft with flop percentage around 45% and no-limit Texas holdem game being the major traffic puller. The traffic in tournaments is higher with anywhere around 2,700 tournament players live during peak hours than around 1,500 ring game players during peak hours. The rake at noble is standard with 5% taken in increments up to $3 and have a general "no flop - no drop" policy.

Game Variety

They offer ring games, as well as heads-up, sit-and-go and multi-table tournaments. The only games offered are Texas holdem in all forms and Omaha hi and hi/lo available in only limit and pot-limit games.

Promotions

On the promotions side they are offering $500,000 in a freeroll and a whopping $100 million for anybody who hits a royal flush of spades at the final table. Further any new depositor is eligible to play in the big tournament above and will also qualify for the $1000 weekly freeroll.

They also offer an exclusive WSOP qualifier for $1. A $15,000 guaranteed prize to any player who wins 5 consecutive 10-players sit ‘n’ goes tournaments and $25,000, $100,000 is guaranteed to any player who wins 6 consecutive 6-player sit 'n' go tournaments. Further the top 2 finishers in the six consecutive sit ‘n’ goes will also be awarded an extra $300.

Customer Service

They have a pretty good 24x7 customer support including toll free number and e-mail service. The customer support staff is not that knowledgeable but very fast. There is also a live help feature which is just a click away for instant response.
