How to fix if Brave rewards disappear 【 BRAVE 】

BAT Rewards Disappear in Brave Browser

If your BAT rewards have suddenly disappeared in Brave Browser, or if the rewards seem stuck and not processing, here’s how you can troubleshoot the Brave Rewards program:

1. Check Rewards in Wallets

Brave Browser integrates multiple wallets within the browser to securely transfer and manage your rewards. Follow these steps to check if your BAT rewards have been credited to your wallet:

Step 1: Click on the menu icon (three horizontal lines) and select ‘Purse’.
Step 2: Enter your wallet password.
Step 3: In your Brave Wallet, check the current amount. If it’s correct, your BAT has been credited.

If you have Gemini or Uphold wallets, also check the amounts in these wallets.

2. Check the Payment Date

BAT rewards are usually processed around the 7th to 10th of each month. If your rewards seem to disappear during the month change, it may just be a delay in processing. Here’s what you can do:

Step 1: Click the menu icon (three horizontal lines) and select ‘Rewards’.
Step 2: Check if you have any pending rewards.

You’ll also see the next payment date. Your rewards will be credited to your wallet after this date.

3. Disable Automatic Contribution BAT

Brave has a feature called ‘Self Contribute’ where your BAT is automatically contributed to creators and websites. This might make it seem like your rewards disappeared. To prevent this, follow these steps:

Step 1: Click on the menu icon (three horizontal lines) and select ‘Brave Rewards’.
Step 2: Scroll down to find the ‘Automatic Contribution’ section.
Step 3: Deactivate the ‘Self-Contribution’ option.

4. Update Brave Browser

Sometimes rewards disappear due to browser bugs. Make sure you have the latest version of Brave:

Step 1: Click on the menu icon (three horizontal lines) and select ‘About brave’.
Step 2: Check if your browser is up to date. If an update is available, install it.

Do not uninstall the browser to avoid losing your wallet and rewards.

5. Restore Brave Wallet from Backup

If you’ve lost rewards due to a clean install or a move to a different PC, you can restore them using a backup:

Step 1: Click on the menu icon (three horizontal lines) and select ‘Brave Rewards’.
Step 2: Click on ‘Manage your wallet’.
Step 3: In the ‘Restore’ section, enter the recovery phrase/key and click ‘Restore’.

Your current wallet will be replaced by the one linked to your previous installation.

6. Check the Brave Community and Support

Connect with Brave support or use the community to check for known bugs or issues:

Step 1: Visit [link] and register or log in to post your problem.
Step 2: If you’re new, click ‘Check in’ and create your account.
Step 3: Fill in your details and log in.
Step 4: Click on ‘New theme’ and select ‘Brave Rewards – Rewards Support’.
Step 5-9: Provide important details in your post, including wallet address and browser version.

Bonus: Brave BAT Account Flagged or Banned?

If your BAT account is flagged and rewards are not processing, it might be due to a VPN service. Contact Brave support and keep an eye on the community.

Note: Users in Vietnam and the Philippines can no longer connect a custodial wallet (Gemini or Uphold) to receive earnings from Brave Ads.
