Enable Brave Rewards

In order to earn and accrue BAT for Brave Ads in Brave Rewards in version 1.48.x or higher of Brave, you will need to connect a custodial account to your Brave Rewards profile.

You can enable Brave Rewards several different ways:

• By clicking  Main Menu → Brave Rewards
• By clicking the Rewards icon then Rewards Settings
• By typing brave://rewards into the address bar

When you open the Brave Rewards Panel while browsing, you'll see tipping options for the website or channel you're currently on. Any relevant Creator info is only downloaded after you've enabled Brave Rewards.

Manage Rewards

Use the Rewards Settings page (brave://rewards) to fine-tune your Brave Rewards settings. For example, on the Rewards settings page, you'll find:

Auto-Contribute

The Auto-Contribute feature is a way to automatically support publishers and content
creators. Sites added to this table will receive automatic BAT contributions from your balance on a monthly basis.

The middle section displays Rewards data at a glance:

• Monthly payment - This is your set limit of BAT in which you’d like to contribute to the sites listed on your auto-contribute table. On the next contribution date, the monthly payment amount will be automatically withdrawn from your wallet and distributed across the sites listed on your auto-contribute table based on their attention percentage.
• Next contribution date - This is the date in which the monthly payment mentioned above will be withdrawn from your wallet.
• Supported Sites - Running tally of how many sites you’re currently donating to via auto-contribute.

Sites will be added to the table based on the frequency in which you are engaged with the site (your “Attention”). You may also include or exclude sites from the list manually by:

• Clicking the toggle located in the Rewards drop-down panel while on the site.
• Clicking the “Trash” icon on the right side of the site listing in the auto-contribute table.

Click the Settings icon  to adjust additional auto-contribute settings:

Monthly Payment Use the drop down to adjust the monthly payment amount to contribute to sites included on your Auto-contribute table.
Minimum page time before logging a visit Set the minimum amount of time needed before “attention” on the site should start accruing.
Minimum visits for publisher relevancy Choose the minimum number of visits to a site to become relevant and added to your auto-contribute table.
What should be allowed? Decide whether or not to allow contributions to individual videos/streams or to sites that are not yet verified by Brave.

Tips

You can also donate to sites directly as you browse by using the “Tip” feature. The Tips section displays your total number of tips for the month as well as lists the sites or creators the tips are being credited. Please see our article on how to tip websites and content creators for a deeper understanding of the feature.
