Has anyone tried Brave Rewards? If so, is it worth it?

You need to do KYC to receive them.

If that is not a problem to you... The amount of rewards also depend on which country you live in. In my country, the rewards are ridiculously low (like cents per month)

I have not tried brave rewards anymore because the rewards are very small in my opinion, and it's better to look for legitimate airdrops, but it's also up to you, but indeed most of the rewards are already small, including in my country.

Not such a big start at launch.

I agree, the rewards is very small. But if nothing else, just let it accumulate and don't see it as a potential earner for you. I have been using this brave for so many months but got few cents only. Or maybe I'm not really keen in using it. So if you decide to use it, don't expect that you can earn a decent income because you can't. Treat it as earning dust of satoshis from faucets and just forget that you are earning something while using their network. You may want to check this article also.

I tried it not really worth it if you will only earn BAT base on the  ads of brave browser they only give small amount of BAT monthly for user's  . But if there are many people that will support your website or channel  then it's a good alternative income  to earn free money by  people supporting your channel.


To have idea this what I earn so far from ads https://i.ibb.co/9yqJSSF/Screenshot-20200815-133409.jpg (https://ibb.co/bNrxDDS)

For some who wants big reward its not worth but for those who needs extra income even how many months it will take its worth it, been using brave for 3 months and luckily i made 10 usd.

It works for me: banners are not intrusive at all, and you can make like $8/month easily just for doing the same thing you were already doing on your old browser.

In a year, it will be worth $100 (+altseason multiplier, +imagine brave becomes mainstream) which is not a bad deal for doing basically nothing apart from a few clicks.

Havent tried that browser but looking at the comments its a good browser where you can earn tokens by using the browser for browsing sites and others. I want to earn too using that browser.

The amount depends on the country, or the value?

Are there any countries where they get more BATs per reward? Which ones?

I didn't take my rewards in them, I haven't applied but I've heard that they're asking for KYC. The rewards are not that high.

If you use them, that serves as an incentive. And lately, I'm still using them but very few ads are popping on mine so that's why I don't care about the rewards but, I like the browser itself.

It wont really be worth and i have this browser few months ago before i did uninstall due to some issues or controversy https://cointelegraph.com/news/brave-comes-under-fire-for-binance-affiliate-link-autofill

back on topic about those rewards, its just really a dust even how hard you do make use of this browser.Ive set 5 ads per hour which is maximum but i do still get some peanuts.

The worst thing of all? you do need to go under KYC for you to get those.

As far as I have seen some bounty hunters and dust collectors are willing to give away all their KYC details to every company in the world for a few worthless shitcoins. The developers of this browser know this and even if they say that they dont store the data of users while they browse,, eventually they came up with this coin reward system that asks for your KYC. Can you even keep any little of trust in them anymore? Nope.

It shows how twisted their words are and that you cant really stop their data collection methods by just moving on from Chrome or Firefox to Brave and think, oh yeah all my data safe now.

No. You just changed the person whom you are giving your data to.

However one must remember that identity theft carries a huge risk and giving your KYC thus carries a risk. Would you be willing to do that or be happy with what you already have and consider investing more in bitcoin than shitcoins?

As others already mentioned the reward is so low that it's not worth your time and the fact that it requires KYC to get your rewards doesn't help it either.

I think the second use for their token which is for tipping websites that are being useful to you is a better way of spending you gained Brave rewards if you are already using Brave browser but then again many websites does not support Brave rewards as far as I know, over all in my opinion they could have been way more successful if they did not require KYC for claiming rewards or at least more websites(specially smaller lesser known websites that probably need it more) supported them as a form of getting support from their visitors.

I don't know which countries get more BATs, but I know from experience that US users receive at least 10x more than Brazil users.

Probably due to regulations or becaues there are less Brazilian websites registered in brave services?

Here is the complete  information about brave rewards https://brave.com/brave-rewards/.

Yes there are country which is paid higher than  other country  one of the example is USA.





The main reasons is there are more campaign available in that country that's why they get more rewards.

Actually for me?it doesnt matter how low the reward is because as far as i know it is only incentives for us using Brave browser things that Mozilla or chrome can’t give so at least we can consider it as passive income and just let it sit for years because no matter what we will still use the browser so just leave it there.
Common man,be practical why not just apply for KYC so at least you are gaining since you are using brave already?dont care how low it is because at least it is money for free.

The money is not free.you are selling your data and receiving a few cents for it.

If you are ok with that... but it is not free money.

Additionally,  you're watching ads to get those cents and give your docs
Bad deal if you ask me

as far as I understood different rewards for different countries politics is related to the percentage of people who use any online payments method. So, places where there is not so much culture of shopping online they are not interesting for many promotions. I don't just mean here on Brave, I know many other online ads services which have different priorities and countries separate as a 1st class and 3rd world States. it’s a little rough, isn’t it?
although they must be admitted to be right why would promote somewhere, where no one spends money.

About Brave browser, I heard many nice things about them. I use it in the last few months, and I must say that this browser is more than suspicious to me. I suffered some damage which after some investigation could only come from Brave browser. They have a big red flag from me.

I have been using the brave browser for several months and so far I have only collected 2.5 BAT which for today is 77 cents! At this rate, I collect 8-10 tokens per year. I believe that my personal data is definitely more valuable than $ 3 a year. So if someone does not want to use this wallet for other cryptocurrencies, the reward they give for our personal data is definitely too small.

Can you share a bit more about your bad experience with brave browser?

I use a browser exclusively to crypto related stuff, and for now it is brave. I am thinking about moving to Edge due to loading times and performance overall. I didn't know that brave could have security issues, but I wouldn't doubt it. Brave is a very small project which gained a lot of visibility  due to BAT (which is a great idea btw, but poorly executed).

Imo, BAT could just be a browser add-on that reward users in BTC without any KYC.

That's not practical.

It's not even reaching $10 so why do I have to take KYC for that amount? no such amount is going to take me with for the KYC. I don't think that it's wise enough for me to do it, I'm enjoying the browser so, no problem with that.

I installed for the first time and I didn't use it much. One month after installation, I registered on one gambling website to make an investment using Brave browser with the thought that it is safe, and it is clean because it is freshly installed and unused. I didn't get to activate 2FA on the casino account, and after a few days, someone closes my investment and withdraw funds. In logs, there is only access from my IP address, also from the casino side (as his support says). None of my other accounts, email addresses (related to many exchange accounts, Bitcointalk account ...), wallets etc... was touched except this from Brave browser (mostly preserved user and pass in browser).
so only Brave browser is compromised. I tested a few days, many things with many tools and I haven't find anything suspicious.
btw I opened a new account on the same casino, and make a new investment, of course out of Brave, and everything is normal and without security problems.

About his rewards, if you research, you will see them being accused of using affiliate links there, like AAX exchange. ??
Also more interesting things about Brave https://www.publish0x.com/everything-cryptocurrency2/brave-browser-is-tracking-you-and-35089877-is-the-proof-upda-xjjodjn?a=joQeZJepZV&tid=htacc

I just saw now some news related to that. Brave is autofilling referal links for some exchanges.

This is outrageous. I just moved to a new browser, microsoft edge. I don't like to use my crypto related stuff on my main brwoser, which is firefox.

I'm using Opera as the most secure browser for all connections that have any financial value like banks, exchanges, emails, wallets... For all other things, I use Firefox eventually Chrome(I often have to check how a website works on a different browser, so I must use them all)
I'm not sure about using Edge, it still belongs to Microsoft I don't have much trust in their safety.

So we can see that browsers like Brave are not trustworthy at all. You can use them if you wish but you are risking your personal data and to that extent that even your login credentials can be stolen.

From what @examplens says, his browser was compromised. Now I dont know if that occurred due to a fault from the user-side or the browser-side by myself.

While I still remember the days when Brave was first introduced as a privacy focused browser that "does not store your data" - they managed to sell themselves to millions of users and then started showing their true colors. Unfortunately they managed to get a large followership from other browsers that are still usable, essentially making a fool of them along with this BAT shitcoin prizes.

If you are looking for income then this is not worth it because  the rewards  is just  a peanut.
But since  i am using brave  then this is just  a freebie for me while  using the site i am accumulating small rewards.
lets see how much i will gather  for the next 5 years  of  using brave lol.

Hopefully you will get 5000$ after 5 years using brave browser, lol
From what i see on the post above brave is auto filling of referral links so by now i will change my browser to chrome.

Good thing that i am Mozilla and sometimes chrome user .i don't like brave because there are too much ads popping and i hate being destructed .

i have been using my browser for decades and i am contented on this one.

I never tried using brave browser even if it will give you rewards because im already good to my browser which is chrome and sometimes firefox, for pc and mobile these are the good browsers.

Heard about this project before, many people in my country have invest in google ads to get more referrals but they scammed at the end of June.

Actually that is annoying part those ads that keeps on popping.

And yeah My Data is being exposed though what for me is since i am using Brave i had just passed my KYC so at least there are small amount that i can gather while using the site.

But thanks for this concern now i am thinking twice if i will continue using or will Go back to my browser before i learned about this brave.

I already deleted my brave browser even though i still have bat that i have earned from the past months using brave. And because of the ads, auto filling of referral i delete the app.

Thanks for this information as it clarifies lot of doubts about the earning related and not at all worth it to spend so much time and energy where return is hardly anything. Also, read that KYC needs to be done so this is big huddle as not everyone will be willing to share their data with this app which have not even heard before.

I tried them but Brave showed me 10 ads only during August which translates into 1.959 BAT tokens which is sincerely a very low amount (0.54$) according to Brave Browser. I would like to clarify that i'm a supporter of Brave because of the anonymity issues related to chrome and to the other browsers and also because they're into Cryptocurrency. My stats might differ from yours, countries differs and Ads payment might be different. You should do KYC in Uphold i think in order to be able to move your funds freely. In overall, i recommend giving it a try.

I am using Brave browser from last year.And its pretty good.And you can  earn BAT coin.It will decide according to your use of this browser and by watching add you can earn BAT coin.But its not much you can earn 5$ per month if you use this browser for full month.And you have to connect uphold account to receive BAT coin.Uphold account should be verified.And you can earn extra BAT coin by referring friends and your referrer should use this browers for at least one month.And every country has different amount of referral payment.

you dont need to waste energy and time on it because this is only a browser but i heard they change something from their past update and it has to do with the users privacy . idk if the issue has been fixed because there are those that complain . there are ways to earn a crypto which more worth it than by using brave but if you dont mind the reward and only wants to support them , you can always use this browser .

brave reward using kyc? I've heard but if using kyc it must be commensurate with the reward given. My advice if the reward given is a little avoid because you will lose because you have given up your identity

$ 5 per month compared to my ~ 70 cents for 4 months is definitely better ... What country are you from, if you can ask because I heard that the number of ads and the rewards for them vary greatly depending on the country in which brave is used ...
I think advertising in Poland is among the worst paid .....

Google Chrome eats a lot our RAM that's why everyone is looking for an alternative browser which is quick and low in consumption of RAM. Firefox is a good one and I have tried all of them. I'm used of using Google Chrome too but the problem that I've stated makes me want to avoid them.

Brave browser is good on it, no problems if you'll going to try it for saving space of your RAM as you browse.

He has Bangladesh set as his location in his profile so that's interesting. I recall that a year or two ago it was said that users would be able to earn more than that.

https://www.pcmag.com/news/brave-browser-will-pay-you-to-view-ads-but-theres-a-catch

If you pass the KYC it works and you can get your tokens. In about a month I earned 12 BAT but the adds flow stopped at some point and I was receiving not adds to see and earn

They rarely send ads anymore after all. I think they've done their part in advertising with that "view ad to earn" feature.

$0.4 * 12 Bat = $4.8

In exchange for your KYC, you've earned that within a month. Brave is the winner.

but if you don't do KYC you won't get your tokens so ... Brave also wins

by the way, I wonder what part of the earnings that brave receives from companies that put their ads is actually shared with users in  BAT tokens 5% - 10%, certainly not more ...

Yes!

For that situation, Brave gets the one to be the winner on this matter. Whether you like to take your rewards or not, it's on them because it will only be stored on them.

They have higher cut on the earnings with their ads partner, the rewards are not that much compare to what they earn from it.

in a month i just recaive 1.5 BAT, i think this reward too small. I'm take a brave for a reward . so I'm back to crome that much better for me

Are you expecting that the reward will be that much?

If you find the Chrome browser to be slow, you can always adjust and go back to Brave. I'm using both and changing from time to time and there's not that much difference as you use Chrome, we have no reward but we're liking it.

We can do the same with Brave.

Thats how business works and for those people who do make use of this browser and didnt tend to get those BAT rewards then that would be actually a good thing for them which it would
really be a less on expense in that case.Also, i cant really blame those people who do use up this browser not just because of the rewards but rather into its functionality and im one of those
people who've been using this in spite of that peanut earning opportunity which isnt really worth of but it doesnt really require that much of an effort to earn those points
but if you do consider this as a faucet and just imply click without minding on how much you do already earn then its your choice.

Yes I have installed Brave browser but I have to be honest, I have never received any rewards just yet. Maybe I have not set it up properly or what, but I have not received anything. However, I know some people that have. 

I'm into its functionality that's why I'm not interested of getting the current reward that's pending on me.

I was too late to get it as well so I have no choice but to leave it on the balance that I have. Less expense in RAM so for those low gb ram computers, this can be of their choice.

I would suggest you against it. I am not a fan of browsers which are something people use everyday for many sensitive work to be dishing out dust rewards for a KYC or any other sort. It would be wrong to incentivise usage of a product because this damages both the user and the other companies.

Point is that the damage to the user is not detected till the consequences occur, which in case of identity theft is pretty late and pretty devastating if the data falls in wrong hands which it eventually will.

I agree on what you have said when it comes to functionality unlike other browsers which isnt really that lite as this. You can have an option that private window integrated with Tor
which you can access by press Alt+ Shift+ N which a feature that you cant really found in any browsers and which i do also like.This BAT rewards system did really make
out some noise wayback when they are just starting.I dont know if rewards had decreased or just similar when they had started but in conclusion it isnt really
worth for the time to be wasted.

I heard loads of people earn loads of Brave tokens as rewards and also gives them the a browsing Dapp that stands diffferent from others. Now, I went to check out how to get the details of that coin and the browser but it looks as though i can;t find it. I am seriously in need of someone that will teach me how to earn using the brave browser.

Yes, I'm also aware of that feature. I felt that it's lighter than the usual browsers that we use and I'm satisfied using it even without  any reward.

What I  also like about it is when you watch videos on YouTube. It's already a reward for me that there will be no pop up ads or loading ads that will interrupt me watching.  ;D

Yes I have been using brave browser for a while now and I haven't received any reward from it yet, maybe I didn't sign up properly, but judging by the reviews have seen I'm sure even if I do sign up I won't earn much from it, you can try it out and see for yourself, but don't get your hopes too high, it doesn't pay that much.

I tried 1 week but the rewards is such a BS and you can't even feel that there is really a rewards  :D ;D :)

and aside from that the Advertisement is irritating in which i don't usually experience in my former browser.
so i need to uninstall and quit using Brave.
return back to my 2 browser so i wont have any stress in my online courses.

The brave reward is not to make you earn decent money.  I believe there are tiers that conduct how many BAT participants get. Usually the richer country the more rewards.

I have not used Brave and am not claiming a reward, but your situation reminds of those projects that promise a reward, then add it to your personal account, but no one can withdraw these funds. It looks like a scam, but it is also similar to the fact that Brave uses many more people who want to receive rewards than those who want to post and pay for ads.

AFAIK, there's now a requirement to pass on to receive those rewards. I didn't get myself too because I find it hassle if I'll go through the process and with the little that I can get through those rewards.

It's not a scam but it's a real reward but the process is just too complicated these days.

Unlike before, it's not.

That's why it made me stop to use that browser since its really not a handy type the same as before and also I became worried since its crypto based browser might we will be endanger in future since we type our details by using the browser(I don't mean that they are scam, I'm just worried)

But anyhow this browser is good option for those new to gain some decent amount of money if they are hardworking.

It didn't stopped me to use them, they're good for me as a browser. I'm just ignoring that there's a reward but I might uninstall them if ever I don't actually use them anymore.

I wouldn't recognize the reward that people will be getting there as accountable, it's just a very small amount. But as an incentive, it's not that bad as a spare.

If Brave deceives users in terms of rewards, how can you trust it as a browser? Each browser that a user uses when the Internet is connected gets access to all personal data that is on the device. How can you trust Brave with your personal information?

That question can be posed to any company, how can you trust a company to be secure and not divulge your personal info? Simple answer, you can’t. Companies get bought and information is sold and it’s only a matter of time before a company gets hacked in some facet or another. All you can do is trust they will do the right thing and hope they encrypt their information properly. If it’s any merit, the creator of Brave cofounded Mozilla and created Javascript.

The reward is negligible, I have accumulated 25 BAT since April and use my browser roughly 1-2 hours a day. I don’t care about superficial information like my name and address because that is in the public domain, what makes me think twice is when they ask for social security and more personal details. They do make it almost impossible to withdraw BAT which is a pain in the @$$.

From a functionality standpoint, I use the iPhone XR and the browser is okay. There may be a site or two that don’t load properly but otherwise it does a good job. I even tested some websites that Ad Hijack my browser in Safari, Firefox and Chrome but Brave puts the kibosh on it.

only earns a little every month i really don't think you could rely on the good part is that you just usually uses your browser and every month or some other time there will be a small reward unlike using other browsers where you wouldn't get anything at all.

Indeed, the browser does not receive more information than each user uses on the Internet every day, which is always freely available. But nevertheless, if we talk about email addresses, then for example, I'm tired of receiving spam messages from unknown sources. But this is due to the fact that my email address gets into the spam mailing database, which is constantly abused. Of course, this fact cannot be called very burdensome for life, but nevertheless it is very annoying.

That's why you shouldn't use your main email for this matter to avoid any annoyance given by the spam mails everyday.


I'm using brave browser for alternate use but I never activate the turn on rewards options since I don't want to submit those KYC requirements and I really don't like giving my personal details for such a small amount, also I'm worried to get any trouble in future since we don't know if they can safe keep our private details forever. But for others who doesn't care about it and starting up then maybe this will suit for them since its once of the good option to get a start up income.

I have used brave browser for almost 1 year now. Good browser with ads blocking and giving rewards to community in form of basic attention token for watching their ads. I enjoy this. rewards sent to wallet at time but you have to kyc process in uphold wallet to receive any amount of bat tokens. This platform has different level referrals system. Some country has really good value to make refferal you can get almost 5$ for 1 person. Overall a good earning if you use this and can refer someone. Thank you

I will try to do KYC and mark all-important personal info. Will infrom you about the result if they accept it or no.

Does the unlimited Advertisement already stopped now?i got irritated when i start using brave and then there are tons of ads Popping each time ,this distract me from my using so i uninstalled the apps
 and go back to my other browsers.
Yups,just dont mind the rewards instead it is the browser is that you really need here,the problem is the privacy if you need to provide KYC so i respect each one who wanted or not using this.

i am using brave browser now and i heard about that rewards yet I'm not interested because of being a little and i don't wanna sacrifice my KYC on that matter.
and also we are using browser without any expected money unless coming from our works online or in signature campaigns using the browsers.
So let us respect who's using it and let us decide for our own to use this or not.

It was worthy. Now it's not worth it like before.

Honestly i don't even think the reward is that significant but i like using the browser in general because it is smooth and functional, i have both on my tablet and pc, i have never really paid much attention to the reward aspect since my main priority is to have a good browser i can rely on, although i think it is a good way of gaining more users especially those who would not mind the nature and size of the reward, between i wouldn't call the amount of bat they are given decent.

I do much prefer this one rather than on using Internet explorer or even with Mozilla firefox.It is indeed light and you wont really have any hiccups on browsing experience plus

had mentioned earlier that they had that Tor integration into their private window which you cant really see into other browsers.You wont need to open that slow loading ToR when tending to
mask out your IP.

Next, claiming out those BAT do require Kyc and who the hell would comply to that?
Its never been worthy ever since because those BAT rewards are just peanuts and not really that significant for someone to be serious about.

Ill ask you on when it was worthy? BAT given isnt really that too big for someone to focus on for accumulation.

I am also a publisher for a brave token peyment. I think the payment I received was worth it. because of brave token payments based on the targeted country. If your target country is high in payments, your automatic income is also high.

I have used various plugins, ads extensions and browsers like BRAVE, PRESEARCH, etc..  but to get crypto just by using search engines or watching ads is not worth, just a waste of time :P

Why do you think so?

Firstly, this browser is really one of the fastest and with the least amount of ads.

This browser allows you to make money by watching ads, there is little money, yes, but even though no one forces you to do it, if you want - you can watch ads and earn, if you don't want - don't do it, but point it to other people on the forum here - very silly. This is every person's decision.

Not after binance acquire it. They turned into another greedy browser. Why would i use a browser that even advertises on my homepage by default?

Is there need to insult the other person because of their opinion or review?
Truth is watching ads is a waste of time. You forget the internet data and time one wastes trying to watch ads. Is it worth the rewards?

Good for Him because he is in country with Brave offers much but if you are from 3rd world or much lower country then your gaining will be a peanut?
and a risk of KYC since before you earn at least forward them your KYC .

Is there a list on which countries they pay high? You know so we could try using VPN and earn more. I have been using the Brave browser for like 5 months and I have only earn 5 BAT = 1 USD.

Quite low rewards for the time span of usage did you try searching more using brave? Since I think it could additionally give rewards, although I'm not quite sure by now since I uninstall my brave for quite long time. Also you could refer more users since this could give a good rewards to I see so many people promoting it on social media and yet they are earning good with it.

Remember that you can use Presearch for search rewards ..

let us not talk about the amount of rewards because we will be using the browser for free meaning the rewards is just a bonus,things that other
 browser are not giving this better be thankful than sad.
rewards of?this Brave browser?
It is not a waste of time because the time you are using the Brave is already taking your time and the rewards is just a free.
