Ads Payout Status Update

[SaltyBanana]

This is a payout status update for the Brave Ads July, 2022 payout.

A note about known issue for this months payout - Ads Payout Status Update - #72 by steeven.

Brave Ads Payout status:

• Verified Uphold wallets: Payments Pending
• Verified Gemini wallets: Payments Pending
• Unverified wallets: Claims Pending

NOTICE: For Uphold users, payments will now appear as one deposit into your Uphold account, rather than an individual deposit for each wallet verified/linked to your Uphold account. Example: If you have 3 browsers verified with Uphold, each earning 1 BAT for the month, you will receive a deposit into Uphold for 3 BAT.

Note that this status update post is for Brave Ads earnings payouts to Brave browser users . This thread is not for creator payouts for tips.

Please make sure that you are using the latest version of the browser as it includes important fixes and updates that help ensure a smooth payout process

Didn’t receive your payout or only received a portion of it? Here are some things to consider first.

1. Are payouts still processing?
   Although Brave Ads payout transactions begin on 7th of each month, it may take several days to fully process the large list of transactions. You may therefore see other users receiving their payouts before yours arrives. Additionally, if you are using Brave Rewards on multiple devices, they may be paid out at separate times – that is, you may receive payment for one of your devices before the other(s).

2. Are you included in the payout period?
   Please note that the payout beginning on July 7th is for Brave Ads earnings throughout May (plus any BAT you’ve accumulated before that). If you only recently enabled Brave Ads (for example, on July 2nd, 2022), you will receive your payout in next month’s payout period.

3. “Why is my payment amount different than what my ‘estimated earnings’ was showing”?
   This is perfectly normal! Sometimes ads do not fully reconcile (“cash in”) before the end of the payment period. So while this does appear in your Estimated earnings in real time, unreconciled funds will not appear in the current month’s payout and will instead be “rolled over” into next month’s payment.

4. Maybe you received it!
   If you do not have a verified wallet, you will need to go into your Brave Rewards settings and look for a “Claim your ad earnings now!” button. You must click that button in order to claim your BAT payout. If you do have a verified wallet, your payout will be deposited automatically into your Brave Rewards wallet and Uphold account. Please double-check if it’s there! (Usually, Uphold will send you an e-mail receipt of the payout transaction.)

Some users have noticed that their ads payout amounts are much lower than expected, and that more of the balance than expected has rolled over into the current month’s earnings: 🆘 Less earnings. We currently believe this is an issue with how the browser sends in payment tokens to notify Brave what they are owed. We believe a server problem is causing them to become incorrectly rejected and retried. We first discussed a related issue here: Update on Questions around Estimated Earnings for April Payout. We believe the problem is more widespread than we initially thought in that post, and we are working now on some follow up fixes.

The Brave Ads team’s top priority right now is resolving this issue so that we can get a proper assessment of any unlogged ads earnings. We are working to make the necessary fixes ASAP. In the meantime, it is important that you keep using Brave Ads as normal (for instance, do not reset Brave Rewards, or change your settings) and once this is resolved, the browser will send the data as appropriate, and we can process these earnings in a subsequent payout.

Thank you for your patience as we address this issue, and we are very sorry for the inconvenience.
