What They Say:
Earning the trust and confidence of our members is a primary goal here at Noble Poker and the key to our success. We aim to make everyone feel 100% comfortable playing poker at our tables from day one and have taken every effort to ensure so. From using true random number generators to ensure total game integrity to providing our players with real-time on demand transaction and game histories from within the poker software to securing and protecting the privacy of our players with 128-bit SSL technology - these are the driving forces behind the way we run our business and our daily operations. We have also put in place the most advanced combination of statistical analysis tools and expert vigilance to provide the industry's most effective shield against player collusion. Noble Poker employees and their relatives, including any of Noble Poker's related companies and third party agencies and their employees and relatives, are not allowed to open a Player Account or otherwise enter and play on the Website. Confidentiality Any and all information received from players is held in the strictest confidence by Noble Poker.Player information will never be forwarded to any organization for commercial or any other gain, save that required by law. Read our privacy policy. Game Integrity Noble Poker employs a combination of automated and human monitoring tools to identify and prevent any irregular play patterns or incidences of collusion between players, thus ensuring fair gaming and a pleasant, honest poker environment. Advanced algorithms designed by veteran poker professionals and industry experts are set to trigger system events should any such patterns be identified; all gaming activity - every card, hand, move, win, loss, etc. - is recorded by the system to aid investigation. Player collusion is something that all players detest, and is a form of cheating whereby two or more players are working together to gain an unfair advantage over other players on a table. Noble Poker has enlisted the services of a team of experienced Poker players utilizing a sophisticated monitoring system that automatically detects suspicious play patterns in the Poker tables. Players using Playtech's software can be assured that the game includes a sophisticated suite of analysis tools used extensively by the Collusion detection team, and these tools, together with trained observers/surveillance executives working 24/7 will keep cheats where they belong - well away from our games!! If there are any cheats out there - we are watching you and will have no hesitation in excluding you from the game, and sharing your name with other operators. Although we will always adopt an 'innocent until proven otherwise' policy, the intricate play-pattern analysis and corresponding game behaviour will create the necessary information needed to arrive at accurate conclusions. Depending upon the seriousness of the overall findings, players may be asked to provide valid explanations for their suspicious behavior or, in more extreme cases, we reserve the right to remove players from the site.

Noble Poker and the iPoker network have been successful sincee 2004 in quickly building a strong network, with Noble backed by the world's second largest casino software provider. Noble Poker's software has an ergonomic and easy on the eyes interface, with colorful, pleasant graphics. The functionality is good and the earlier minor software glitches are fixed. There is a good variety of games, with Hold'em and Omaha (High and High-Low) ring games, as well as heads-up, sit-and-go and multi-table tournaments.
Noble Poker Software and graphics:
Noble Poker's software and player base is part of iPoker, which in turn is developed by PlayTech. The graphics are nice and clear and ergonomically easy. Noble Poker lobby stats are plentiful with a buddy list function, game history function, player notes, several options for music/sounds/etc, pot- and no-limit ring games, live floor managers and all types of tournaments. .
Noble Poker Ring game traffic:
Noble Poker has about 10,000 ring game players at peak hours (as of May 2008).

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. There are both heads-up, sit-and-go and fixed schedule multi-table tournaments.
Noble Poker Rake:
The rake at Noble Poker is actually better than the average online. The standard is 5% rake taken, in increments up to $3. On several types of tables however, there are lower max rakes.
Noble Poker competition:
Noble Poker has generally soft games. Most of the volume is in the no-limit Texas Holdem games where the view flop percentage is in the 40- 50% range and the players are generally pretty limp. 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.

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.
Noble Poker Customer Support:
Noble Poker offers 24/7 telephone support as well as live online chat and email support. While Noble Poker was recently acquired by Empire Online, whose customer support is known for its inadequacy, Noble has kept all staff and magaement intact, including customer support.

We will therefore continue to maintain our positive review of Noble Poker's support until experience demonstrates that we should do otherwise.
