Country unsupported by Gemini or Uphold - What to do?

[misamisa]

So what do we do?

I am from serbia, my country is not on the supported list of Gemini nor Uphold.
I have a lot of BAT stuck.

Is it just gone or what?

Can we donate to a content creator with unverified wallet? (She is also from Serbia)

Basically out of luck. Nothing you can do till support is restored. Just in case you were connected to Gemini before this region unsupported issue started altogether then

Announcement for users updated to 1.48.X

Not an issue, just trying to announce this. After updating your Brave version to 1.48, vBAT is gone. GOOD NEWS FOR GEMINI USERS CONNECTED EARLIER → If you were connected to Gemini before the region unsupported issue started altogether, then you should try enabling flag called ‘Always show Brave Rewards custodial connection options’ at brave://flags → This will enable Uphold and Gemini buttons inspite of unsupported region → Click on Gemini try verifying → Voila! Gemini is now connected to Br…

It’ll expire in April. If till then region is supported by Uphold / Gemini or a new Custodian then you will be able to connect and get BATs there. vBAT has been abandoned in 1.48.X versions

No, unverified creators won’t get the BATs. The system will keep trying for 90 days but if it doesn’t become verified then they come back to you, apparently.
