It's a little bit safer but to make any difference you have to know still what to watch out for. The sponsor cannot shave in the traditional way but there are other tricks they can use such as:

1. No credit for a certain biller in the cascade.
2. Affiliate traffic goes to one biller, type-ins to another non affiliate credit sponsor (in this case cookies basically become worthless)
3. Hardcoded In house affiliate IDs in the join form.

Honestly though if you are thinking about being a paysite affiliate the chances are you aren't going to have much choice per niche because conversions are nowhere near where they used to be and so many have left. If you find one sponsor in a niche these days which converts reasonably you would be lucky. Two or three doing so was somewhat rare even 2011ish.
