Noble Poker Software

Noble Poker's software was designed and is maintained by Playtech, a leader in online gaming software.

Noble Poker's main menus are fully-functional with many state-of-the-art features built in. Navigation is relatively easy. The main table and tournament menus are easy to use, and employ the industry standard "Players seeing flop" percentages and "hand per hour". The cashiering and account info menus are all very easy to use. Several buttons on the bottom of the software help players navigate their site.

Noble Poker features a standard green-felt table with cardback in red. The background is that of a tan floor. The graphics, themselves are somewhat easy on the eyes, but the avatars are a bit busy. There is, however, a feature that turns off the avatars and allows players to play without them. There is also dealer's voice which can be toggled on or off. Noble Poker does not offer a four-color deck.

The only problems with the software are miniscule. First, players cannot add chips to their stacks while they still have cards. Hand histories are saved as XML files rather than textfiles, which makes reviewing hand histories extremely difficult. Noble Poker has one of the worst note-taking functions in online poker. The size of the notepad is miniscule, and the function has no word-wrap capability. Finally, any action click is registered immediately. Players cannot click the button and drag-off the button if they change their minds.

Noble Poker's software has a tendency to disconnect players. Re-connecting is not automatic. This is a problem with all of the poker sites that share the iPoker platform.

Noble Poker Customer Service

Noble Poker customer service is available via email, phone and fax. The email support is decent, but the quality of answers is sometimes cryptic. Telephone customer service is the best bet for those questions or concerns players may need swift replies to. Withdrawal speed is slow.

Noble Poker Poker Tracker Compatibility

Noble Poker is compatible with Poker Tracker on all cash and tournament games for Hold'em and Omaha. They also have an aut-import feature for hand histories.

Ability to Multitable at Noble Poker

Players of Noble Poker may play up to 6 tables simultaneously.

Multiple Noble Poker Accounts per Household

There is no indication in Noble Poker's Terms and Conditions that multiple members of the same household cannot hold separate accounts at Noble Poker. Likewise, emails requesting information on their policies regarding multiple household accounts have not elicited a response from Noble Poker. Therefore, ITH suggests multiple household accounts should not be set up with Noble Poker at this time.

Noble Poker Tournaments with Overlays

A tournament overlay is the result of guaranteed prize money that is not offset by the participant's buy-ins. As such, all freerolls always offer an overlay.

Noble Poker has many guaranteed prizepool tournaments daily. Most of these guaranteed tournaments grant overlays, as the number of player's buy-ins do not offset the guaranteed prizepool.
