Noble Poker Review
Overview
Established in 2004 in Gibralter, Noble Poker is a small poker room on the ipoker Network. The site has soft competition and below average promotions. At the same time, we have found their casino software is quite good and it is recommended for casino play.
Ease of Competition
With many new players being fed in to the rooms by the ipoker Network, the competition is easier at than at most sites. In general, the rooms are quite soft at all games with 40-50% seeing the flop. This includes the higher stakes and no-limit games.
iPoker Network
The ipoker Network includes all of the below poker rooms which share customer base: Kiwi Poker, Poker 770, William Hill, Prestige Poker, Tong G, CentreBet, PaddyPower, BlackPool Club, Poker Plex, Windows Poker, VC Poker, BetFred.com, Titan Poker, Poker Ocean, BlueSQ, Bet365, ChiliPoker, Diamond Club, Expect, CDPoker, Noble Poker, Fair Poker, CelebPoker, SunPoker, among others.
The iPoker Network is one of the top poker networks for European players primarily focusing on the international market. The network software is provided by Playtech. and recently went through an overhaul to offer players more features and faster game play. The iPoker Network is available in more than fifteen different languages, supports games in Euros and Pounds and provides seats to some of the biggest tournaments across Europe. The network is available for Mac, Windows and Linux players. Poker players can choose from No Limit, fixed limit, and pot limit betting styles, and can choose to play with Pounds, Euros, or US dollars.
AllOnlinePokerSites has listed some of the leading rooms in this Network, but not all. I think you will find that the difference between them is minimal.
Noble Poker is a Euro Site
This site does not accept US Players. Why should you choose a Euro site?
Many of the poker sites who appear to be Euro friendly will force their players to deposit in USD or exchange their funds for USD. The problem with this is that the exchange rates fluctuate day to day and they will pay you a lower premium to have your Euros converted to Dollars or Pounds. Likewise, when it comes time to cash out you could lose based on that days rate. This is why Euro poker sites are the preferred poker site for European players. Because if you are going to deposit to a poker site in Euros, Noble Poker will not only allow you to deposit in Euros, but play in Euros.
Bonuses and Promotions
Noble Poker has a solid new player bonus, giving new users a 100% bonus up to $500.
The AllOnlinePokerSites new player bonus is increased to 100% up to $500. To get the bonus, simply click on any of the banners above or below
To bring the entire bonus to fruition, for every $10 in bonus money, you must earn 500 "crowns." This bonus is quite good as it clears fairly quickly into your account.

In addition to their signup bonus, Noble Poker has several other promotions, including a 100 million dollar freeroll. This site tournaments focus on small buy-in tournaments with guaranteed prize pools. A strong selection of sit-n-gos are available, including jackpot tournaments that award big payouts to players who win a certain number of tournaments in a row. But the most notable to new players is Noble Poker’s $1,000 Freeroll Tournaments: Once you make an initial deposit, you receive notification from Noble Poker inviting you to register for the next $1,000 Freeroll Tournament.
Refer a Friend Program: $25 per qualified referral.

This site has limited game variety and primary customer base is in Texas Holdem. You may have difficulty finding your preferred game stakes at off hours. The new software was a major upgrade and the games now run smoother and faster. This site has limited game variety and primary customer base is in Texas Holdem.

Rake/Cashouts/Customer Service
