Ah, I understand your logic now. But, let's have a look at two situations here:
Situation 1 - The player wants the incentive and registers:
-visitor goes to pokernews.com, visits fulltilt, gets cookie, visitor leaves
-visitor goes to somepokersite.com
-visitor sees a great deal, and reads on
-visitor listens to advice and clears cookies
-visitor visits fulltilt, gets a new -somepokersite- cookie
-visitor registers at fulltilt and plays
-somepokersite gets paid
-visitor gets the incentive
The visitor who wants the incentive will of course not clear his cookies again, then visit cardplayer, and then register on somepokersite. Agree?
Situation 2 - The player wants the incentive, and doesn't register:
-visitor goes to pokernews.com, visits fulltilt, gets cookie, visitor leaves
-visitor goes to somepokersite.com
-visitor sees a great deal, and reads on
-visitor listens to advice and clears cookies
-visitor visits fulltilt, gets new -somepokersite- cookie, leaves
No matter what happens, the visitor knows about the incentive. Therefore, if he decides he wants to play in the future, he will do so via somepokersite, or via someotherpokersite that offers a better deal (and clear cookies again: we're back at situation 1)
Situation 3 - The player doesn't want the incentive:
-visitor goes to pokernews.com, visits fulltilt, gets cookie, visitor leaves
-visitor goes to somepokersite.com and may visit fulltilt*
-visitor reads, but isn't interested, so he doesn't clear his cookies
-visitor goes to cardplayer.com, visits fulltilt
Now, regardless of what happens at *, we can be sure that pokernews gets paid if he decides to sign up.
This is the way I view things. If anyone still disagrees with the fact that this is completely harmless, then so be it. I don't think I can make this post any clearer.
