FULL REVIEW - Noble Poker (7.35)

Due to U.S. legislation preventing credit card companies from collecting payments for wagers made by U.S. residents, Noble Poker has determined to suspend all real-money gaming business in the United States.

Noble Poker is one of the more popular poker rooms on the iPoker network, offering relatively loose games with lots of casino players, insane sit-and-go jackpots and good high-value promotions fit for all players. The iPoker network, and subsequently Noble Poker, has recovered well from U.S. online gaming restrictions and is currently one of the five most popular poker networks in the world.

Noble Poker offers their players lots of high value promotions, guaranteed tournaments, sit-and-go jackpots and a nice refer-a-friend bonus. The Noble Poker software offers great functionality, attractive graphics and good security and stability. The games offered are Hold'em, Seven-Card Stud Hi, Omaha Hi and Hi-Lo - in both ring games and multi-table tournaments - and heads-up, full and shorthanded tables are all available.

Noble Poker offers plenty of multi-table tournaments, sit-and-gos and freerolls with great value. The traffic volume overall is in the top segment of the industry. Real-money player statistics as of July 2008 show 10,000 ring-game players at peak hours, and 55,000 tournament players at peak hours.

Overall, Noble Poker offers juicy games and good software that plays well, even though the game pace is on the slow side. The software is updated frequently to ensure safety and stability, with little downtime as a result.
