Unauthorized Tips

Brave Rewards Rewards Support
1

2 months in a row now, some of my Brave rewards have been given out as tips and I cannot figure out how/why. I have checked my settings, and even my “statements” as accessed from the Rewards Settings page indicates that no tips have been given. However, each of the last 2 months a tip has been given from my Uphold account.

The images below are screenshots from my main PC. I’ve also checked these pages on mobile and other PCs where I use Brave, all of which show the same lack of activity. Why are tips being pulled from my wallet when I have not authorized them? More importantly, how do I get it to stop?

Could you go to brave://rewards-internals and in the contributions tab does it show anything?

That also appears to be blank:

Note, I clicked the refresh button just in case and the page remained blank.

These tips are probably from another verified device.

Turn Auto-Contribute OFF in ALL of your verified devices/instances.

Well now I feel like an idiot… I checked 3 of the 4 devices thinking “I never use the 4th one so it can’t be the culprit.” Auto-contribute was set on the 4th device. Sorry to bother everyone.

edit: Thanks for the troubleshooting help!
