I don't think anyones players get scraped at Full Tilt in this fashion anyway. The way Full Tilt had it set up before (I don't know if this is the case or not now) was that the bonus code section would be greyed out if players had clicked through from an affiliate link. The player could not put in a bonus code if referred from an affiliate link which prevented your players from getting scraped. This is not the case on other sites however. For instance if a player at Party clicks through from one of your links and begins to sign up and notices a place for a bonus code. They then go to Google to find a bonus code which leads to the signup ultimately being credited to someone that ranks well for the bonus code as opposed to the player being tracked to the affiliate that actually referred them.
