Titan Poker is a large poker room whose player base recently increased following a merger with a smaller gaming network.
Titan Poker offers frequent special bonuses on a level that allows them to compete for players with the big boys. Most unique to
Titan Poker are their jackpot Sit-'N'-Go promotions whereby players who win consecutive sit-and-go tournaments win progressive jackpot bonuses. In addition to a bad beat jackpot, there is a high hand of the day promotion.
Titan Poker and Noble Poker
Titan Poker is a relatively new site and part of the iPoker gaming network.
Titan Poker is a skin of Noble Poker. Noble Poker online poker rooms have been around for a few years now, so no matter the age of the
Titan Poker brand itself, it comes from quality lineage.
TitanPoker.net is a free no-real-money poker site sponsored by
TitanPoker.
Playtech Software on Titan Poker
The software that
Titan Poker utilizes was created by Playtech, one of the leaders in the industry. Playtech deployed a powerful collusion prevention mechanism which, in layman's terms, is a system that analyzes every move from every player on the
Titan Poker site. Upon the detection of the slightest irregularity, a detection alert is set off and a fraud investigation team goes to work. This simple but pretty revolutionary tactic is how
Titan Poker and iPoker ensure their clients that they are playing in a secure environment.
Titan Poker is based out of Europe, and American players may have difficult making bets. All that aside, it can't be ignored that the majority of their players are from Europe. New sites are usually profitable to play on, and
Titan Poker will prove no exception -- offering generous first-time deposit bonuses and still lacking the schools of sharks found at better-established poker rooms. Read more about free

No Limit Hold'em Poker
Most of the games played on
Titan Poker are no-limit hold'em games, though shorthanded fixed-limit hold'em is also popular among the smaller stakes crowd.
Titan Poker's scheduled tournaments are littered with satellites and small buy-ins with industry-standard guaranteed prize pools.
Sit-n-gos are available, though not as prevalent as at competitor sites such as
Party Poker or Bodog.
Titan Poker's jackpot tournaments award big payouts to players who win a certain number of tournaments in a row. For example, there is a $25,000 jackpot to anyone who wins 6 consecutive $20+$3.50 6-max tournaments -- however, veteran players will take note: the site's rather high entry fee for these jackpot sit-n-gos make them a bad investment for players, even those of higher skill level.
Titan Poker Review
Titan Poker's software, like the software used by the rest of the online poker community, has its up and downs. The cashier and lobby interfaces are nice, if not standard fare for online casinos, but some players find the gameplay incredibly annoying.
My Speedy Alert on Titan Poker
Recently,
Titan Poker released an application called "My Speedy Alert" that informs players of upcoming tournaments of interest through their computer's system tray. Those of us who resist clogging our system tray with unnecessary alerts will simply turn this feature off -- though there are players who will find this addition to their program quite helpful.
Titan Poker Competition
In general, the competition at
Titan Poker is considered pretty weak, which is always a good thing. The limit hold'em games are at times soft, and at times quite difficult. For low stakes bets, for instance, you can expect a soft game. Once you get into the higher level wagers, the story is different. The no-limit games tend to be consistently softer here than at most other online sites, perhaps because
Titan Poker is not one of your "big ticket' Online casinos.
Titan Poker Tech Support
Titan Poker has an extensive customer support team and offers email, phone, and live chat support. However, some of the agents are not as knowledgeable about poker as you'd hope they would be, most likely a consequence of
Titan Poker's insistence on using external customer support. You won't find yourself speaking to a
Titan Poker agent, rather a person from an outsourced trouble shooting company. This is becoming more and more common among online poker rooms.
That being said,
Titan Poker’s customer support has received multiple awards from Online Gambling Magazine and was given the 2006 and 2007 Best Customer Service award. These awards are voted on by the players, which shows good feedback from those who've played at
Titan Poker.
