Titan Poker Room Review
Titan Poker uses software created by Playtech, a leading industry developer. Playtech has incorporated the use of fraud prevention mechanisms in this software. Within are means of detecting and alerting collusion and other irregularities. This is not a good site to play at if you are using some questionable techniques. Titan’s lobby is well organized and simple to use. Tables can be viewed in full screen mode and a number of avatars are available to choose from. Players can take advantage of a buddy list to keep track of when friends are playing as well as review graphics of recent game history in real time within an actual game. Cash games are offered, such as Holdem, Omaha, and Omaha Hi/Lo . Pure entertainment and money tables are available in addition Texas Holdem (Limit, No Limit, Pot-Limit, Turbo, and Heads Up). Titan also offers Limit, Pot-Limit, Turbo, and Heads-Up Omaha and Omaha Hi/Lo. Lower limits in Texas Holdem are set as low as 0.02 and $0.04 and higher limits range from are $0.50/$1 to $5/$10. Obviously, there are very few high stakes tables. Titan Poker’s strength in game format offerings lies in its tournaments. Because of the lower numbers of advanced tournaments online, many players are not experienced. The No Limit tournaments tend to be soft on competition. The lowest buy in tournaments cost $1 to play. A $25,000 Guaranteed Tournament is offered every month with lots of cheap entry opportunities. Most tournaments are in Holdem, but they do offer Pot-Limit Omaha as well as satellites tournaments for World Poker Tour events and the Aussie Million. A worthwhile starting bonus and low player skill level are two good reasons to visit and play at Titan. Multi-table tournament are fairly easy, as are the ring games. With these competition characteristics, along with plenty of micro-limit tables, Titan is an excellent site for beginners. High start-up bonuses and the presence of very few pros are the advantages that make such small and new sites as Titan attractive places to play. With an easy download, Titan’s software allows a number of deposit choices, such as Click2Pay, FirePay, Central Coin, EcoCard, Money Bookers, Neteller, MasterCard, Visa, InstaDebt, and My Citadel. The time lag between deposit and playing is only a matter of minutes. The site requires a minimum deposit of $50. Titan Poker offers a start-up match bonus of 100% of the first deposit, with a limit of $500, as well as a reload bonus up to $200. A player who deposits $300 for example, will get $300 in bonuses. Players must play a number of raked hands in order to qualify though. They can even get an extra $10 simply by depositing to their account immediately after downloading the software. Also available is a weekly $1000 Depositor’s Freeroll with every deposit regardless if it’s an initial deposit or a reload. A High Hand Bonus is given for the day’s best hand, and a Bad Beat Bonus is offered as well. As a new site, competition levels are comparably low. For those entering with experience, this is favorable. However, a drawback is that bad beats occur often and can do some damage. With a small pool of players, wait times, at least to get at the table with the limit you want, can be long. For North American players, peak time is late afternoon, factoring in the high European participation and the time difference. With respect to customer service, Titan Poker offers real-time, one-to-one chat with their customer service personnel. As a relatively new and small site, staff is currently adequate in handling and supporting current need.
