I received this email from noble poker, As of September 19th, Noble Poker will be closed down. Your account balance will be available at NobleCasino.com, where the games and fun will go on and you can use your SAME USERNAME AND PASSWORD!
You will join Noble Casino’s family from 19th September, where you will be welcomed with a BONUS of up to $4,000* and a wide variety of exceptional gaming entertainment.
If you have any queries or concerns, please contact us at [email protected] for further assistance.
Kind regards, The Noble Poker team . I can see other sites on this network closing as well, because when a network skin's off to much, there's to many mouths to feed and not enough money coming in.

i also noticed latley that alot of the smaller poker sites are closing down, its like a spreading virus of sickness putting these sites down lol. Never heard of Noble Poker atleast their keeping the casino opens and leaving your account balance in there
Poker site advertizing is misleading at best. On the one hand they tell you one can play for free, then if one wins anything try cashing out. The average person doesn't have the time to clear the bonuses they offer and most give up. Not surprised to see sites going down. Some people you only have to bad beat once and their gone never to return...doesn't matter what poker theory is. Then there are the botters, new legislation, new taxes. The poker "hay days" are over and imho has lost its allure. Too hard to win and too hard to cashout online for the average person....they get better odds at bingo.

Its like an epidemic But its the natural course with everything thats happening in the Poker world, and everything started from some greedy politicians that wanted to put their hands deeper in our pockets.

Well not surprised really - I thionk during the poekr boom there were a lot of rooms opened up and maybe survived and made monye initially.
but due to the economic woes globally and big sites like PS blowing everyone out the water promotionally it's only natural.
Everything has its peak, I think poker peaked between 2000 and 2010 or so.
But even on 'big' sites like 888 there is a lack of people playing SNG's..have to wait ages for 18 man SNGs often. That's why people go to PS and other big networks, because there's guaranteed activity.
