Hello. Today, when I launched the Brave browser, the browser notified me that the Brave Rewards service is not available in my region. For detailed information, I [visited](https://support.brave.com/hc/en-us/articles/9053832354957-Unavailable-jurisdictions-Brave-Rewards-is-not-available-in-your-region-) the site issued by the browser, where only 4 regions were indicated where the Brave Rewards service is not available, namely Iran, Syria, North Korea and Cuba. I LIVE IN AZERBAIJAN! And when specifying the region when installing the browser, I indicated exactly my region. Please tell me why this happened? If Azerbaijan, like the above countries, can no longer receive rewards for viewing ads, then add my region to this list too. Interestingly, the Brave browser is also installed on my phone and everything works there. ---

Hello! I have same problem. And I saw the list of Unsupported Regions: North Korea, Cuba, Syria, Iran and Russia. But I’m in Ukraine, Mykolaivska oblast. Can you explain the reason? Or Brave emloyee consider my region as russia? I think, I deserve some explenations. ---

I think in this way the developers came up with a way to get rid of unnecessary thoughts such as how to withdraw earned coins to people who live in countries where custodial wallets do not work. What’s the point of having these coins in your browser?! Yesterday Russia was not on the list of unsupported countries, today the list has changed and I think this is not yet a complete list. Instead of adding a wallet service that would support all countries of the world, the developers came up with a method that is beneficial to privileged countries. ---

Soon Ukraine and Azerbaijan will be on this list, and other countries, too, in which Gemini and Uphold support wallets do not provide services. Maybe I’m wrong, this is just my guess. ---

Except we’re having this issue in countries that ARE supported by Uphold (Estonia in my instance), so it’s way more likely that it’s just a bug in the newest version of the browser ---
