I used to trade on Bybit and this kind of thing never happened there so I’m just trying to establish why this happened on Bitget?
Lesson: Don't get attracted to platforms that promises golden returns when you trades in their platforms. If Bybit was serving you better why did you left it for Bitget? Perhaps you didn't tell your reason which i believed it's best known to you.
Information: when seeking for platform to trade on, do consider reputation and their community network scalability.
This is because I am in the UK a lot and Bybit is no longer supported in the UK.... I guess I can use a VPN though which will probably be my next step.
Well for potential legal consequences, in this case, I'll advice you don't even make such attempts of having VPN to access the restricted platforms knowing quite that you're breaching the local law via regulation orders.
Also note that trading may require you of processing transactions on the regular which might be detectable with your series of activities in the forum.
To keep, safe, I suggest you checkout for other platform that's legally accessed therein the UK such Kraken and Coinbase. Atleast they're one most notable crypto platforms that's od good rates.
Advise: Limit your risk of breaching the regulatory policies while you've more risks encountering on your trading. Jus avoid double lost probability by complying to regulatory policies.
