Full Tilt Poker - Ref code overrules link/cookie?

[dirkjan]

Hey,

What if someone downloads via affiliate A's link, and uses affiliate B's bonus code... who will get the sign-up in this case?

Thanks,
Dirkjan.

Anyone knows this?

It varies very much from room to room.

I think I'm right in saying though that generally the Bonus Code takes presidence

I am fairly certain that the referral code overrules the cookie in the case of FullTilt.

i believe the referral code is grayed out on the full tilt sign up screen in the event the visitor is already tracked via cookie to someone else. I could be wrong on this however, I haven't looked in a long while.

I think the referral code overrules. I asked an AM about 2 months ago, so unless this has changed and the referral code is grayed out, I'm pretty sure the referral code wins out.

ok, tnx for the replies

That used to be the case, but I belive that stopped happening over a year ago.

I think the old system made sense and don't understand why it was changed.

The downside of this is that people sign up at site A and are tracked that to that affiliate, but then searches on google for bonus code and end up at site B.
Okay, so that will be the upside for Site B.

Think the cookie rules?
