Suddenly my region is not supported

I used to receive BAT coins as rewards. I have enjoyed cashing out and can testify that Brave rewards scheme doe work. However, suddenly my uphold wallet has been delisted as not part of region being supported.

I have been using brave since 2019 upto now. what can I do in order to receive ads rewards again?

I have the same problem, in the past my country was available but now It doesn´t work

@cyernet and @Guts0 unfortunately you have provided little to no details about your situation. For example, what country did you choose for your Rewards country and what country are you in?

And @cyernet if you did indeed check the list of supported countries which can be seen at https://support.brave.com/hc/en-us/articles/6539887971469 and if your country it not there, then it just means you won’t be able to connect and earn. Brave is gradually introducing on-chain payments, but that’s invite only now. If you want to read through, I provide links to details and give occasional updates over at PSA: Current and upcoming changes to Rewards and Creators

Hello Sao! Thanks for your reply. I just wonder what happened? I am in the Philippines, and I am an active promoter of Brave browser, in fact even in our office I have recommended Brave as our browser, everywhere I go where my friends are not using Brave, I had to convince them to use it, and they did. I used to earn from the browser. I have used to have the UPHOLD wallet, then suddenly it becomes greyed out and I can’t even access it anymore. It just says I am in a region that is not supported. Philippine is used to be supported. Why the sudden change of heart?

@cyernet this changed nearly 3 years ago. You can see announcement made from January 2022 at Changes to Brave Ads Regional Availability

There was too much fraud in the area. For some time could still earn BAT in what we refer to as vBAT, but you wouldn’t be able to withdraw for yourself. But then early this year that got removed. You must be linked to earn or otherwise you are just in support only mode where you view ads just to support Brave and the Creators they disperse to.

Is there something that I can do to bring back my account into an “earning account?” I am willing to undergo re-validation if needed.
