For the sponsor to cheat it's webmaster, it's just not worth it for him and the sponsors that do this are just not smart. Ok you take away a couple of sign ups from the webmaster, then you gonna lose him, who can bring you a lot of sign ups in the near future. So a smart sponsor will never do that, also the sponsor program will screw up it's name by doing this.
