Who's responsibility is it, sponsors or affiliates?

First, check to see that the id that was handed to you is indeed the one that ccbill thinks it is.

CCBill's passthrough to the admin actually passes the parent ccbill ID rather than the ID assigned for that affiliate program. CCBill claims this is a feature and not a bug.

If the code you use is not part of that affiliate's program, the cookie won't be set. In your browser, verify that the cookie is indeed being set just to make sure.
