Yes, they have various services, cards, bank transfers, exchange etc, and with all of this they are attractive enough, as I said, I have been used them many years.

"sadly this type of request is very often done by centralized services and exchanges." - ok, will know now.
I heard about Yobit's reputation and just played there in my spare time, never deposited and never invested, so thought just to try to withdraw these few dollars.

I didn't use a VPN, it's a stable IP. But if I was able to login on my phone it means they did not block my account, just IP.

Thank you.

A static address? Did you by any chance make too many requests too fast (to their site)? That could explain the ban, but at the same time, that's probably something you should notice right away.

Like I said, it doesn't make much sense for them to ban your IP address, when

1. You can easily change that address using a VPN (or by rebooting your router, if you didn't have a static IP)
2. They can freeze your assets and stop you from withdrawing them across all of your devices.

Regardless of what actually happened, my advice would be to switch to something more reliable, whether you're using them as an exchange or just as a debit card provider, there are plenty of better options depending on where you're from.

Yes, a static IP. As I remember, there weren't too many requests to my website, maybe a bit more than usual, because I was checking the situation and wanted to see if this money had arrived. But your guess is logical and could be one of the reasons.

But the fact that they didn't freeze my money and I was able to transfer it elsewhere suggests that they may just be clarifying and don't see much point in blocking or completely cancelling my accounto.

I have read all sorts of reviews about them, including very negative ones. They have never been my No1 choice, although their services are quite attractive. And now that there's only a few dollars left, I'm just wondering how it's all going to work out, and the experience will be very useful in the future.

Thank you.
