Full Review of Titan Poker (9.09)

"Become a Legend" is the tagline featured on Titan Poker's homepage. A tall order for an online poker site, but an aspirational one nonetheless.

Titan was established in 2005 and has experienced some pretty impressive growth since then. Titan's poker rooms aren't as busy as some of the bigger online poker rooms but there are still around 2,000 players logged on during peak times - some highly impressive figures.

As for tournaments you'll find scheduled tourneys, sit 'N' go, satellites, as well as a special jackpot sit 'N' Go. There are high stakes on offer although most of the action is at the lower end of the spectrum which is good news for less experienced players. Titan's game repertoire includes the classics: Texas Hold Em, Omaha and Omaha Hi/Lo.

Part of the iPoker network and powered by Playtech, Titan's software is top quality. The interface and game cards are sharp and there are also some special features on offer. You can add buddies to a list, join the same tables as them and access a hand history with graphical poker cards.

So although we can't promise you'll become a poker legend, you're sure to find some solid poker action at a top quality, energetic site, on track to achieve great things.

Titan Poker continues to stay on its game with regularly changing promotions and, with something for everyone, new and existing players alike will enjoy the promotional scheme. Plus, there are ongoing satellites to many of the major live poker events.

While the welcome bonus is rather hefty, new players ought be warned that it could take a frustratingly long time to clear unless you typically play at the middle to higher end stakes. Bonuses are paid in increments of $5 and you are given three months to clear the bonus which is a little longer than many poker rooms.

There is also $100,000 guaranteed every Friday and a third tournament, the $50,000 GP Freezeout, every Saturday.

Titan Poker also offers a bad beat bonus to those players who were holding a top hand but lost nonetheless to an even better hand.

However, Titan players should be forewarned that the bonus is not automatically credited to your account. You must send an email to support with your sob story in order to claim it.

Software Features & Graphics (7.72)

The Titan Poker site, powered by Playtech, boasts strong overall functionality. The lobby is easy to navigate and whilst plain, is still somehow visually appealing.

All the typical functions of a good poker room are there such as buddy lists, player notes and hand histories. You will also find stats in the lobby about average pot sizes and hand per hour.

A often heard complaint, however, amongst players is that games can become pretty slow going as you are given plenty of time to think about your next move. On the upside, however, this is a bonus if you are considering taking advantage of the opportunity to play up to eight tables simultaneously.

You have the option of completely customizing your game by changing various settings such as enabling ambient sound effects, selecting your background music, choosing your avatar or opting for the full screen mode.

The site is available in 14 languages at the time of this review included English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Polish, Swedish, Finnish, Norwegian, Danish, Italian and Dutch.
