Titan Poker Review

Software & Graphics (8)

Titan Poker's software and player base is part of the iPoker network, which in turn is developed by PlayTech. The software comes in eight languages: English, French, German, Italian, Polish, Spanish, Swedish and Turkish.

The graphics are nice and clear and the functionality is fine. Titan Poker has a buddy list function, game history function, player notes, several options for sounds, Pot- and No-Limit ring games, live floor managers and all types of tournaments.

There have been updates, and the software is now much more playable. A live help window now pops up offering you special bonuses when you enter the cashier section. The games run smoother and slower than the standard due to the long time a player has to make a decision, which is ironic because the software is quite fast. Traffic has been growing very fast on the iPoker network, and today the player base is quite large for a newer network. It is possible to play at eight tables simultaneously.

Tournament traffic (6)

The traffic at the tournaments is higher than at cash games when real-money traffic reached somewhere around 7,000-9,000 players at peak hours. Sit-and-go tournaments are heavily promoted with jackpot offers for first- and second-place winners in five to six consecutive tournaments. Depending on the type of sit-and-go, extra cash prizes range from $2,000-$50,000.

Rake (6)

The rake at Titan Poker is actually better than the average online. The general policy is the standard 5% rake taken in increments up to $3. But on several types of tables there are lower max rakes. On fixed limit tables up to $1/$2 there is a $1 max rake. More importantly all tables with 2-3 players have a max rake of $1 and tables with 4-5 players have a $2 max rake - which also includes no-limit and pot-limit short handed games! There is a "no flop - no drop" policy for hands not reaching the flop.
