Ok, so that makes sense. Right now, India is not supported for adding new connections. It’s not just India but it’s many countries around the world that are restricted while Brave works with Gemini and Uphold to update their systems and improve fraud prevention (among other things).
What this means for you is that you’ll not be able to link your device to a custodial partner and thus won’t be able to withdraw the BAT at this time. You will still be able to see ads and earn BAT, but they will be “stuck” in your phone for the moment.
Brave is hoping to add most workable regions back by the end of the year, but there’s no guarantee they’ll make it. That’s just the goal. You can follow the official notice at https://support.brave.com/hc/en-us/articles/6539887971469 to see which countries are supported . Also, I have my own topic where I provide updates at least once a week for everyone. If you’d like to follow that, you can see it at PSA: Unsupported Region
