@serhangursoy @jeifour Brave checks the operating systems setting, i.e. on macOS in Preferences and also checks the IP address location. Can you please confirm you had the locale set to Germany/German too?

Thanks for the explanation. Changing the locale to Germany fixed the issue.

Just downloaded Brave 1.0.0., connected wallet, enabled ads, checked that the local is UK, my IP address points to the UK (no VPN). I also tried downloading and installing beta, nightly and dev versions and still get “Ads are not available in your region”. Running Windows 10. Quick note: ads do work on my android 9 phone (op3T).

It was fixed by changing Control Panel-> Region -> Time format and set it to English (United KIngdom)
