Sponsored images don't count for me

The only thing that adds rewards to me are the ads in notifications, but the sponsored images always stay on the right side and never add rewards to me.

Why does this happen?

Hello! How many New Tab Page ads do you see at brave://rewards/

Thanks for confirming.

In this image below, you can see a sponsored image, this sponsored image is counted on the right side, but it is NEVER added to the left side of the rewards, only the ads in notifications are added there.

@NPVT Based on what you shared, it shows you’ve viewed 183 New Tab Page (Sponsored Images) ads, and they appear to be counting. The math also seems within the expected range.

You can visit https://sampson.codes/brave/ads/my_region/ to check the ads available in your region, including details like the OS they target, view limits, and payment rates.

Pay varies by country, but for context:

  • Your Rewards show 0.812–1.775 BAT with 230 ads.
  • 0.812 Ă· 230 = 0.0035 BAT per ad
  • 1.775 Ă· 230 = 0.0077 BAT per ad

In the U.S., many ads pay around 0.005 BAT per ad, so your earnings seem on point. Keep in mind that changes in estimated earnings may not show immediately.

For now, everything looks like it’s working as expected!

Hello there!

Thanks for answering me, the problem my friend, is that the sponsored images never add to my earnings count, they always stay on the right side of the counter, the only earnings I receive, even when they deposit me at the end of the month, are those from notifications. I never receive earnings from sponsored images.

I can be receiving sponsored images all day long, and the only thing that will add to earnings are the notification ads.

Do you understand me?

@NPVT The counter may not update immediately, but it does increase over time. The range displayed is an estimate, and everything eventually reconciles and pays out. Based on the information you’ve shared, it looks like ads are being shown and counted toward your balance. I don’t see any issues.

The left side of the range represents the lowest amount you might earn, and the right is the highest. I understand your concern about the lower end not increasing at all. For example, in your first post, the range was 0.812–1.775, and in the second screenshot, it’s still 0.812 on the low end but has increased to 1.915 on the high end. I’m not sure what threshold is needed for the lower number to change, but I know they aim to avoid inaccuracies, so the numbers must reconcile before adjusting.

I’m tagging @Evan123 to see if they can explain it better or ask for more details to help clarify. However, from what I can see, everything appears to be functioning as expected.


In case it might be helpful for you in Spanish:

@NPVT El contador puede no actualizarse inmediatamente, pero sí aumenta con el tiempo. El rango que ves es una estimación, y eventualmente todo se reconcilia y se paga. Según la información que has compartido, parece que los anuncios se están mostrando y contando hacia tu saldo. No veo ningún problema.

El lado izquierdo del rango representa la cantidad más baja que podrías ganar, y el lado derecho, la más alta. Entiendo tu preocupación de que la cifra más baja no haya aumentado en absoluto. Por ejemplo, en tu primera publicación, el rango era 0.812–1.775, y en la segunda captura, sigue siendo 0.812 en el extremo bajo, pero ha aumentado a 1.915 en el extremo alto. No estoy seguro de qué umbral se necesita para que el número más bajo cambie, pero sé que intentan evitar inexactitudes, por lo que los números deben reconciliarse antes de ajustarse.

Estoy etiquetando a @Evan123 para ver si pueden explicarlo mejor o hacer más preguntas para aclarar la situación. Sin embargo, según lo que veo, todo parece estar funcionando como debería.

The problem is that the actual earnings payment is always on the left side, and that left side only increases with ad notifications, it NEVER happens with sponsored images…

I can continue increasing the right side every day with sponsored images and ad notifications, and the left side will only increase with the latter and I will always be paid the amount for the latter and not for the sponsored images. If you want, at the end of the month I can show you how the range turned out.

Is this normal?

@NPVT depends. Do a favor and read through PSA: Current and upcoming changes to Rewards and Creators - #11 by Saoiray and Receiving credits only form first ad for Brave news ads in 1-2 hours - #6 by Saoiray
