Does anyone have problems with poker sites' refer-a-friend programs?

Question

My brother referred me to Carbon Poker, and I signed up and earned the 250 points to qualify us both for the bonuses.

Now Carbon is saying that I can't get the bonus, because the software was loaded on his PC once BEFORE I referred him, even though there was never an account created.

As you can imagine, the reason the software was on there was because he wanted to TRY IT OUT!!!

As you can also imagine, we checked with Carbon in advance, and they said "delete the software before you reload it", which we did.

As you can ALSO imagine, the site said he was referred, allowed everything to work, and even TRACKED ALL HIS POINTS for me. They only 'red-flagged' it AFTER he had earned the bonus, and it was time to pay up.

So am I a voice, crying out in the wilderness, or is this a problem on other sites?
