There's only one thing I can think of that makes any sense at all. If they have a promo content area that requires login, perhaps they think they're deleting surfers to prevent them from having continued access.

Most sponsor signup forms I've filled in require that you list a web site URL, and some even require that your email match that URL. Much easier and more effective to do the anti-surfer screening at sign-up rather than after the barn door has been open for a couple of months.
