Briefly describe your issue:
I started using Brave in April ’22 and opted in Brave Rewards and Brave ADs. As the days went and I clicked on ADs, it showed me my “Estimated Earnings”, I dont have it verified and linked to any Uphold or Gemini service, and I thought the estimated earnings would go into the Total Earnings and all will be fine.
Its now 1st of May '22 and everything has vanished. All of it.
I am starting to think that all of this is a scam.
What Operating System and Brave version are you using (Menu --> About Brave)?
Android
Is your browser wallet currently verified? (yes/no)
No
What date did you verify your wallet?
N/A
Have you been able to successfully receive payments in the past?
April '22 was the month I installed Brave for the first time in my phone.
Are you using a VPN? (yes/no)

Yes
Does your device pass the SafteyNet check (Android only)?
Yes
Have you manually turned off Auto-contribute on all of your devices linked to Uphold??
Dont have a verified account.
Rewards reset at the beginning of each month. If you look at the screenshot in the above post, you will see the month for the estimated earnings has changed from April to May 1 - May 31. The amount displayed for estimated earnings is any April rollover amount + any earnings you have made since Rewards reset.
You should receive the usual “on the way” notice once they finish reconciling your payout for April. This notice will display your April payout amount less any amount that rolled over to May.
If you do not receive the notice after a couple of days, then you might have a problem. At this time, it appears you are experiencing the Brave normal end of month payout processing process.
I personally think they could put a message when they reset your wallet that addresses this abrupt reset of earnings. For example, “Rewards Reset for ‘Current Month’. Reconciling ‘Last Month’. You will be notified when reconciliation is complete.” Then once Brave has completed the reconciliation, that message would be replaced by the “on the way” message.
