GAMES OFFERED

Games on NoiQ Poker include Texas Hold'em (both Limit and No Limit), 5 Card Draw, Soko, Triple Draw, Omaha and 7 Card Stud. There's a really nice variety amongst the games with most of the action offered at the No Limit Texas Hold'em tables for both cash games and tournaments. However, there's plenty of action at the other games including some not seen on most sites which include the Triple Draw Lowball 2-7 and Soko games. Also occasionally running are games like 32 Card Draw, Americana and Telesina which are fun draw-type games for gamblers.

TRAFFIC

The network has a ton of sites flag-shipped by NoiQ Poker and is definitely on the rise in the industry for traffic. The increase in advertising has led to a slew of fish swimming to the site which only means good things for the regulars at this up-and-coming poker room. Peak hours will see more than 2,000 players at just the cash game tables with decent fields reserved for the constant tournaments and Sit and Go's that are played around the clock.

VIP PROGRAMS & BONUSES

NoiQ Poker has a 30% rakeback deal here at Absolute Incentives which ranks as one of the best. Beyond that there's the best first timer deposit bonus anywhere with 100% matched up to €5,000. Site promotions include races, STT (single table tournaments) leader boards and monthly VIP bonuses for players that play regularly on the site. There are also big-money tournament package promotions on-going at NoiQ Poker for many of Europe's elite live poker tournaments.

The NoiQ Poker VIP bonus program is based off of the amount of points a player earns during a month by playing in real money games. Every month a player starts at the bottom of the step ladder and works their way up. Each VIP level has a pay-out for as much as €3,600 for the month. This is a great way for players to rack up cash bonuses as they play more and more poker. The points can also be redeemed at the webshop on the NoiQ Poker website and includes items like 24" widescreen LCD monitors and popular consumer electronic devices like a Sony PSP or Nintendo DS Lite.

LOBBY & TABLE SOFTWARE

The lobby software at NoiQ Poker is very clean and offers a "no frills" experience so players aren't distracted and can get straight into the poker game of their choosing. There are two main tabs for "Cash Games" and "Tournaments" and when a user selects one of those there are sub-tabs to bring up tables for that specific game. The table matrix returns values for table names, stakes, limit type, # of players, waiting list, average pot and % to the flop for cash games. For both Tournaments and Cash Games there is a supplemental "Filter" where a player can filter out by limits, stakes and table sizes.

The table software is very similar to that of the lobby - no frills and silly avatars, just a good clean poker table with decent graphics and animations. You aren't going to get a virtual reality experience there, and many full time grinders appreciate that the software is straightforward and easy to use right out of the gate. There is a standard bet slider and standard check, fold and bet controls with a very nice standard top-down view of the action.

OVERALL IMPRESSIONS

NoiQ Poker is definitely one of the better up-and-coming poker sites on the internet. Players that love to bonus whore will quickly fall in love with the best deposit bonus in the world coupled with a 30% rakeback deal. There is a good VIP program in place for rewards including some great consumer electronics, and multi-tablers will enjoy the straightforward lobby and table software.
