Noble Poker

Summary (6.8)

Noble Poker is a solid poker room. First of all, the software is very good and above the average, packed with some features that you won't find in common poker software. On the other hand, you might have some issues with the graphics. The promotions are usually very good. You can play in massive tournaments ranging up to $100,000 in cash prizes as well as jackpot games, Sit'n'Gos with $200 buy-in fees and so on. The site is not very trafficated, but if you play Texas Hold'em, Omaha or just want to try out Black Jack or any other casino game, this is a good choice. Not only because we like the software, but also because the competition is usually very soft. Don't be surprised if you spot a poker rookie even at higher stakes.

Software (9)

PlayTech develop the Noble Poker software. This is - in general - a well above the average piece of work. First of all, there is a good amount of very useful options, such as sounds, music, all-in button disabler, hand strength checker and alike. As for the functionality, Noble Poker has a very clear and easy-to-use client with great overview. Stability has improved in 2006 and today there's only a low number of hickups. As for the visuals, you're better off deciding on your own here. Some people love it, others don't. We believe the colors are a tad too saturated, and this is one of the few reasons this software gets a less than perfect score. We would also like to see a visually improved table.

Traffic (7)

It's not a huge poker network, but since its launch in 2004, Noble Poker accumulated a respectable amount of poker players. Approximately 3500 players are connected simultaneously and during peak times, you can count up to 5000. About 40 percent of the players can be found in ring games. The rest are to be found in tournaments.

Tournaments (8)

The tournament traffic is usually very good. There is a decent variety of games with sit'n'gos ranging up to $200 buy-in. Unfortunately, there's also a bunch of $1 buy-in tournaments, which unfortunately opens up a lot of gaming at low stakes as well. Besides all that, you can gain entry to World Series of Poker and World Poker Tour. If real life poker isn't your cake, then you can always apply at one of the hundreds of special tournaments ranging up to $100,000 in guaranteed cash prizes.

Game Variety (7)

There is nothing outstanding about Noble Poker in terms of variety. The network offers the regular Texas Hold'em games, Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo and tournaments, such as Sit'n'Gos, jackpot Sit'n'Gos, heads-up games, satellites and scheduled games. The games go from low stakes at $0.02/$0.04 up to $5/$10, which is a bit low. As a Noble Poker member, you are also -besides poker - introduced to the world of casino gambling. EveryPoker.com is focusing at online poker. Therefore, we are excluding black jack, craps, roulette and the other games from the final result score.

Soft Competition (9)

Noble Poker is usually a fish tank. Many of the players come straight from casinos and are introduced to the world of online poker. Additionally, there's a bunch of casino games available directly through the poker software. As with most other rooms, you will find soft competition in No Limit games, preferably at mid stakes but sometimes even at high stakes. The EveryPoker.com staff knows of many stories about players who have gone all-in with $1000+ pots with absolutely nothing on their hand.

Sign Up Bonus (6)

The strengths of Noble Poker is the soft competition and the many promotions. If you use our Noble Poker coupon code and deposit for example $100 to your account you will get a $100 bonus. To get this money, however, you must gain 500 crowns per $10. The bonus is paid out in increments of $10 and this happens normally within half a day. To gain a crown, you must participate in a $0.25/0.5 ring game. You get up to four crowns, starting at $1/$2 games and up.

Loyalty Rewards (7)

Noble Poker offer a Player Crown Club system. The basic idea is that the more you play at ring games and tournaments (i.e. the more rake you generate), the higher your Player Crown Status will be. This grants you entries to Crown Club tournaments and freerolls, special promotions, gift shop items and strangely, a faster e-mail support. But the best part is, you can convert your Crowns into real money. To earn a crown, you must generate a rake of at least $0.25.

Promotions (8)

There's usually a comprehensive list of tournaments and promotions alike. For example, Noble Poker has a $1 buy-in satellite tournament with entries to World Series of Poker. Several jackpot Sit'n'Gos add up to $100,000 of cash and of course daily freerolls as well as weekly $1000 freerolls for depositing members. The most talked about freeroll is of course the $100,000,000 freeroll, although specific terms and conditions apply. Freerolls aside, there's also a $100,000 GP tournament, monthly $25,000 guaranteed tournaments and much more.

Support (7)

The customer support at Noble Poker is decent. There is no live chat. Telephone support is good although wait times can be a bit too long sometimes. E-mail support is fast and reliable.
