I knew this was coming sooner or later. They have been battling with spam and fraud. They just made some changes to the program last month and stopped accepting new participants...
and now, it is over.
They are shutting down the referral program... for now?

Hopefully, they will come back with a better and improved referral program next year!

## On the flip side...
I got a BAT payout today.
9.795 BAT is for viewing the ads. I am not sure about the other **66 BAT**... it could be the rewards from referral program? but my creator rewards displays a different number so I have no idea, but I will take it 🤤

Hopefully there were many who managed to take advantage of this referral program, unfortunately I was not able to do so but I hope that for the next referral program I will get some for myself and hopefully earn some rewards.

Mine on uphold was easy down. But then again only my laptops are connected and i don't use them best as much as my phone. 

Phone shows 16 bat, but that's probably for 2 months. I don't track it like i should.

Unfortunately the abuse in many aspects ends up breaking these plans of some projects to attract more people, like these referral plans.
There will always be the abuse of some that will affect others.

>They are shutting down the referral program... for now?

sorry to hear this and if it is still working then it will definitely end up because of abuse.  Abusers and spammers are everywhere. Anyway thanks for sharing this important update among us. Keep sharing !!
