Seriously, you should pay attention. Let me show you conversations over the years from this being a complaint. Auto Contribution has always been enabled by default:
Could we prompt the user to enable or disable when opting in rewards, the default seems to be causing some grief
I see all the trouble that having auto-contribute on by default is causing in here. I believe it’s just a small minority that wants to give donations to everyone they visit and receive nothing themselves. So why not have it disabled by default, have a welcome popup or whatever to explain about it and ask if they want to turn it on?
Hi,
I joined Brave rewards and I didn’t realize the auto-contribute was on by default. I don’t think it should be the case, specially for new users that are getting used to the system (like myself).
I had 20BAT withdrawn from my account without me knowing about it or being asked for a pre-approval of the transaction. How do I get a refund and how can I prevent this from happening in the future (besides turning off the auto-contribute)?
Simply another person in my household can use my computer…
Auto-contribute is enabled by default when you opt-in to ads in brave://rewards. You have to manually disable auto-contribute. Also, once disabled you have to exit the browser and restart for the change to take affect.
Brave has a project in the Planning stage to notify users before any auto-contribute is sent. They will be able to confirm or deny.
I don’t know why they just don’t make the default off instead of on! There was a Feature Request a couple of years ago to do just that and it did…
No one stole anything from you. The default for auto-contributions is on, and you have to manually turn it off. Unfortunately, there is no refund for auto-contributions under those circumstances.
Hello!
Auto Contribute is ON by default and must be manually turned OFF.
Do you have multiple devices linked to your Uphold? If so, is Auto Contribute turned off on each of these devices? Please double-check your Rewards settings for each device. If you still have concerns please submit a ticket below.
Thanks!
