So, as the title says, I’ve had Gemini set up as the way to receive my BAT for a while now. However, I noticed it stopped sending me any since August. My BAT records in Brave say they’ve been sending for the last few months, but I haven’t received anything. This also coincides with Gemini not connecting with my Brave browser anymore. I keep getting a “temporarily down” notification, but this has been going on for months.
Will I ever receive the BAT that has been sent to me the last few months, or is it just gone forever? And why wouldn’t Gemini work with Brave BAT rewards now? Any insight from anyone?
Gemini made some pretty huge changes a few months ago for legal compliance, one of those changes involved cutting the cryptocurrencies they support back to a bare minimum. BAT was one of the ones they dropped.
The Brave team are in talks with them regarding the future of the agreement they had, but at least for now there is no possibility of connecting to Gemini, or receiving BAT there.
You should have received an email from them about any BAT balance you currently have with them.
Note: They only dropped BAT in Canada, per some new Canadian regulations. In other regions, Gemini is either closing down (like the Netherlands), or has paused new signups via Brave Rewards.
Ah yep, thanks for the reminder that is only Canada. Was distracted and quite tired when I posted that.
Gemni sucks.
