Thousands of Kenyans Count Losses as AdSelect Fails to Pay Promised Earnings

Thousands of Kenyans who joined the online rewards platform AdSelect are facing uncertainty after the company failed to process withdrawals as promised on November 12, 2026.

Before the scheduled payday, AdSelect had informed members that withdrawals would begin at 4pm Kenyan time on Thursday, November 12.

The platform also announced that users needed a minimum account balance of $100 and a valid USDT wallet address to qualify for withdrawals.

Following the delays, some members raised concerns about additional charges they were allegedly asked to pay before receiving their money.

A report published by Venas News on November 12 claimed that some users were asked to deposit $13 to facilitate withdrawals. TechSpace Africa separately reported alleged payment demands ranging between $10 and $12 in USDT.

Some members reportedly complained that they still could not access their money even after making the requested payments.

However, AdSelect maintained in its November 9 notice that it does not charge withdrawal fees, explaining that the miner fee goes to the miner responsible for approving transactions.

The company also warned members against sharing their passwords or wallet seed phrases through chats.

In another update, AdSelect announced that withdrawals would be processed in batches, with each group containing 250 members.

The platform subsequently issued instructions requiring users to register their USDT wallet addresses, submit withdrawal requests and follow the miner assignment process.

The latest developments have raised concerns among Kenyan users who had been waiting for the November 12 payment deadline.

Members are now seeking clear answers from the platform on when their accumulated earnings will become accessible.

Kenyans are also being urged to exercise caution and avoid sending additional money without independently verifying the withdrawal requirements.
