    Default Tracking of players who download software first

    This might sound like a dumb question. But I just tried to check if the tracking works at a poker room.
    So if I land on their website through an affiliate link, then download their software, and then register a new account within their software, then (I guess) there is no way that the poker room can know that I have been referred by an affiliate.

    So this means that a major part of the players that I send to a poker room will never be tracked... Have a look at the homepages - there is usually a large "free software download now"... Your thoughts?

    If you did this then you should definitely be tracked, I would read up a bit more about how affiliate tracking and cookies work

    Most poker software also embed the tracking code in the download executable. So - even if the account is created from the poker software, it will be tracking correctly.

    Naturally this doesn't apply to all, so make sure you check with your affiliate manager, and run a test yourself to be sure.
