I had a 'Legacy' type account on Bittrex (more than 18 months old) which effectively had a limitless daily withdrawal limit. I never had any withdrawal problems in the past and used to deposit and withdraw substantial amounts of btc without any hassles. Recently I deposited btc to trade alts and when i tried to withdraw i discovered that my account type had been changed from 'Legacy' to 'New' and that i now had a ZERO (0) withdrawal limit! Note that at the time I made these crypto deposits (over the last couple of months) there was NO WARNING whatsover that my account type had been changed to New and that I now had ZERO withdrawal capability! (Due to the outcry about this disgusting deceitful behaviour I see Bittrex NOW has a warning once logged in that says you cannot withdraw anything due to being 'unverified'... TOO LATE to put that notice up now!! It should have been put up there the second they changed my withdrawal limit to zero and my account type to New so that i could back then decide for myself whether i still wanted to deposit funds knowing i would then need to give up my privacy and get 'verified'. These scumbags took that choice away from me and are now holding my funds hostage to extort me for my personal information!
This is totally unacceptable and is nothing short of entrapment and plain theft.
I figured i'd do Basic Verification but this did not work - no surprises there after researching the problem and found that NOBODY is getting it right to complete Basic Authentication anymore... so Basic Authentication is a joke! in fact it's just a trap that Bittrex has laid out in which they use the info you input into Basic Verification against you after they purposefully fail it and then coerce you into doing Advanced Verification ... and then if there is ANY mismatch between the info you entered in Basic compared to Advanced then you are screwed and it can take months (if you're lucky) to get Bittrex Support to manually verify you. Note that there is no option to review your Basic verification info or update it afterwards ... this is by design to trap you into a position whereby you upload all your docs for Advanced verification but get this failed anyway due to some mismatch (no matter how trivial) so still no withdrawal ability even although you have uploaded more than enough personal info to allow identity theft. Do you trust Bittrex with your personal ID documents when this is how they operate??
I refuse to give in to this extortion by Bittrex and am not prepared to do Advanced Verification due to the shady way they went about entrapping me (no warning) into depositing crypto all the while changing my account type and withdrawal limits to zero stealthily without my knowledge! This is the lowest of low i have ever encountered - not even Poloniex pulled this kind of devious sh1t!
I opened a Support ticket regarding this but get no response.
i'll be joining the class action against Bittrex for sure due to their unacceptable shady behaviour and their use of my deposited funds to extort all my personal ID info from me against my will!
If there are any decent human beings left at Bittrex then please respond to my ticket # 484175
