Hi Marcia,
It still smells fishy to me, Brightshare/JPF gets much more leverage over the affiliate with this Free Gas Spam banner by harvesting email addresses.
In the future when the cookie no longer counts and the player receives an email for some promotion from JPF and registers, Brightshare/JPF will have the player and the affiliate gets nothing.
I think the best remedy is pull down the SPAM banner! It cheapens the JPF casino sites. {I hate spam} and the affiliate won’t lose trust in Brightshare/JPF.
