Some regions are not serviced by any of our current custodial partners (Uphold, Gemini, and bitFlyer), or cannot be supported by Brave. As a result, we expect that unverified/non-connected Brave Rewards users in these regions will only be able to use their remaining virtual BAT balances to support creators before the vBAT sunset deadline.
