Titan Poker’s popular online poker client has been optimized and new features added, including the revolutionary side game for predicting card outcomes.

Titan Poker, the leading online poker room has upgraded its software, adding a number of new features to its virtual tables as well as a revolutionary side game that enhances the online poker experience.

BackBet is an innovative game that easily attaches itself to the side of Titan Poker’s tables, allowing players to choose from a number of prop bet options that predict the outcome of cards to be dealt to the board and in the subsequent hand. Odds are presented for bets on which cards, color or suit will appear in the community cards, as well as what a player’s next pocket cards will be.

Players wager against funds in their account, not affecting their balance or the action at the poker table at which they are playing. BackBet is offered at real money Texas Hold’em type games at specially designated tables in the Titan Poker software.

As part of its software upgrade, Titan Poker’s client operation, stake filters, tournament timebanks, and chat messages have all been optimized. In addition, there are some completely new poker software features that will be welcomed by all players.

Betclic, a well-established internet casino, poker and sportsbook company in the Betclic Everest Group, has successfully achieved the tough professional standards required to gain accreditation with the independent standards and player protection organisation eCOGRA.

Announcing the successful accreditation, eCOGRA chief executive Andrew Beveridge said that Betclic joins an elite group of 146 online gambling sites that have demonstrated a practical commitment to higher standards of operational conduct, fair gaming, integrity and player service through the organisation’s Safe and Fair seal, which Betclic is now entitled to display on its websites.

"The Betclic management is highly experienced and well established in the industry," Beveridge said this week. "Betclic was the founding company when the Mangas Gaming Group, which subsequently became the Betclic Everest Group, was formed.

"It has also achieved compliance with the European Gaming and Betting Association’s (EGBA) standards, and it is therefore not surprising that the management met all of our requirements despite a rigorous on-site inspection and review process."

The audit and inspection leading to accreditation was carried out by Bradley Khoury, a Chartered Accountant and Information Systems Auditor, who reported to the eCOGRA Seals Compliance Committee: "The cooperation and dedication of the Betclic compliance personnel accompanied by unrestricted access to knowledgeable staff and transparent information facilitated a highly comprehensive review. The organisation demonstrated strong resilience and noteworthy commitment to compliance."

Lisa Lombardi, the Licensing and Compliance Director for Betclic, said that the accreditation initiative had been both informative and challenging.

"We consider the investment in time and resources to have been very well spent, giving us the opportunity to review all of our procedures and gain the benefit of a totally independent, practical and expert view of the manner in which we conduct every aspect of our business," she said.
