And if the user does not download the software at that point in time and revisits our homepage at a later date, like the next day or a week later, the affiliate will still get credit for the original lead when they do initiate a download because your affiliate cookie was set.

– Well if we did do this; remember you would lose out on all the players in the scenario I described above. All players you sent to our landing page that did not download the software in that browser session would be lost to the next affiliate whose linking code they click through. Or they may only remember to type in the casino or poker room name and join via the front-door – again you would not get credit for that player as no cookie was set.
I think you misunderstood that. I’m not saying you shouldn’t set a cookie. I think all affiliate programs should use cookies. If the user comes back at a later point in time then the affiliate will get credit. What I’m saying is that if that player later clicks through another affiliate link (someone elses) then the older cookie should be overwritten with the new one and the last person to refer should get the credit.
