Hello everyone, yes i am a little bit late on that.

Maybe i received a very small part but i don’t know much wich i use uphold and traking the transaction is not my thing it’s really possible that payout come from another of my peripheral
Hello! I have this problem too. I have no pending payout since I have not received any Ads since April 9th 2021. I have Auto-Contribute off. I have not created a Wallet yet. All my past accrued BAT still show. I have Rewards set to 5 Ads per hour, but none show up.
**What Operating System and Brave version are you using MacOs 11.4 on M1 Mac Mini

Is your browser wallet currently verified? (yes/no) No

Have you been able to successfully receive payments in the past? No, have not set that up yet.
Are you using a VPN? (yes/no) Yes & No VPN being active or off seems to not have any effect.
Are you in a supported region (see here for list of supported regions)? Yes
Have you manually turned off Auto-contribute on all of your devices linked to Uphold?? Yes
@merlyn Browser wallet is created at the time of installation itself. Users have to verify their browser wallet with a custodian like Uphold. Are you saying if you go to brave://rewards-internals it says, “wallet not yet created” (If you find a “Wallet Payment ID” it means you have a browser wallet).
If you have not verified your wallet, you will still get a claim button to receive your ad rewards during payouts each month. Have you never received any payouts? How long have you been using Brave (same installation)? Were the ads turned on all along?
VPN is known to affect ads (Try 1-2 days without VPN if not tested already). Are you not getting ad notifications and Sponsored images both. Although 3-months are fairly long time for not getting any ads nevertheless check if there are enough ad campaigns in your region- https://sampson.codes/brave/ads/my_region
Also Brave rewards are no longer supported on iPhones and iPads check end of this page. I’m not sure about Mac Mini, it’s still a desktop right?
PS: Try a fresh installation, say Brave Beta just to check if ads are working there. Make sure VPN is off for this one
Thank You for your response. Yes the Mac Mini is a desktop. I checked the ad region and NC is listed. This is a new computer and a new install of Brave. Best I can remember ads stopped not long after I set the system up in April. I checked brave://rewards-internals and yes I do have a Wallet created but the creation date is last week and I been using Brave on this computer since April. Here is what it says:
Wallet created: 07/17/2021, 05:09:28 PM
Balance info
Total balance 138 BAT
bitFlyer Wallet: 0 BAT
Rewards BAT: 138 BAT
Uphold Wallet: 0 BAT
External wallet info
Wallet status: Not connected
I’ve downloaded the Beta version but are holding off trying it until I know how to secure my BAT. Don’t want to lose a years worth. I’ve used Brave since the beginning but turned on Rewards last year 4/2020.
@merlyn I’m not sure why you are not receiving any ads. But you can verify your wallet with Uphold to secure your BATs. Go to brave://rewards/ > Verify Wallet
Also were you able to transfer your BATs to the new system (I see you have 138 BAT since April)?
Your Beta install will not affect your current installation and you can use it alongside. You can also create a new profile in current installation to check whether ads are working (This would be better idea).
