Anyone Know How To Check Download Cookie

Hello, I just signed up as an affiliate for a certain poker site, and ran my usual test with my brother. He signed up and deposited through my link, download recorded, yet conveniently signup and deposit did not, so my question is this---- Is there a way to check the cookie on the poker room he downloaded, to see if it registered. If I can confirm that, then I will know this is no aberation and I am flat out being cheated. I don't work with programs that cheat me, and I would like to nip this in the bud right now, so they don't successfully steal $50K plus from me this year. Thanks in advance.

This again is all the more reason a BONUS CODE is valuable.

I think that many clicks/downloads/signups get missed with trackers. Just seems like it.

Also if he just signed up, depending on the program it may take a day or two to show up in the stats. When in doubt contact the aff. manager with the username to clarify.

Very good advice from Jeremy. Luckly this is your brother so you know his username. Also, if this is your 'usual protocol' and he is a member at more than 1 poker room how can you be ast risk losing $50k? If this is a legitimate number please let me know

Wait 2 days, contact your affiliate manager and request the information. Make sure your tracking link works.

Best of luck!

Thanks for the replies guys, I am going to sit on it a couple of days so I don't act too hasty. In the interim I am going to research a little further about the cookies that was left on his computer when he visited the site. I saw something about a session id when I looked at the cookie files. Regarding the $50K, I just pulled that number out of my ass. That was not in regards to his indivudual rake, but rather a combined loss of revenue from all my action of the course of a year. I was just trying to make a point that I will not get into bed with a program that I confirm is stealing from me, and its pretty easy to tell because I know pretty much what my traffic produces. Thanks again for the help guys, I always like to bounce things off the veterans to gain a clear perspective.
