I am now waiting 2 weeks on my order. I contacted them several times
and I didn't get a response. I am starting to wonder if I will ever get
my parcel. Support is a disaster and over 2 weeks delivery
time without explanation isn't acceptable.


I don't recommend them.

Poloniex recently announced they will be taking action against unverified legacy accounts in a similar way to what Bittrex did.  The big difference being though that it's clearly outlined what will happen WAY ahead of time with plenty of notice for people to withdraw their coins if they wish.  And even after it takes effect people will still be able to remove their coins, just not trade them.

Unlike Bittrex which is a thieving piece of shit exchange that should have legal action taken against them soon.

I think this is of little comfort to those Poloniex customers who have there coins stuck in transit for weeks or even months. One good deed does not wipe out all there bad deeds.
No one said it did, my post was soley about how to handle upcoming changes and how Polo did it correctly while Bittrex did it about as bad as an organization can.

Anyone who is still doing business with Bittrex, just because they haven't screwed you over yet doesn't mean they won't in the future.  If they're capable of the type of actions they recently took then they're capable of anything.



Poloniex.com made the right decision by warning everyone upfront that they will change LEGACY account policys.
Trex on the other hand completely fucked up "hardcore style" and I am wondering when they will finally
come out from hiding and make the right move. I am okay to leave them and maybe come back later
but first give me my money back! They think they have all rights but that's not the case, especially not in US.
You can't just freeze accounts without having proof of illegal activities. What they did was to freeze ALL
LEGACY accounts and force them to do enhanced verification. Because they feared if they gave loyal
LEGACY users a heads up they would leave with all their coins. This would have impacted volume
and liquidity of Trex, so some super duper smartass from TREX thought : Ohhh I am GENIUS, thats what we
gone do: We will freeze all LEGACY accounts and force them to do verification. We will not lose
 volume and and comply to KYC regulations. Everybody happy, expect yeah right the customers   Cry End of story...

Could not agree more.

Still no response to my ticket, 1 month...



New Year, another huge PR disaster for Bittrex. Nothing solved!
Still can't withdraw anything! Wondering why they  hold
to their completely failed policy to block all LEGACY accounts
from withdraw without warning!? @Bittrex the longer this goes
the more damage to your reputation! You guys really need some
PR manager who get's things right. You clearly broke the law by
freezing assets not belonging to you. You are dragging yourself
deeper and deeper into the water. Why ? You completely failed.
I think now it is time to come out from hiding and apologize
to your most loyal user base.

Be smart and give people their money back.

Thank you

I've some questions to guys who've got disabled account on Bittrex:

1. Did you use any proxy/VPN/anonymizers entering the account? Or maybe you often change your locations using IP adresses of different countries?
2. Did you have enhanced verification with enabled 2FA?
3. Have you used different browsers entering the account?
4. Do you have double account or may be somebody entered your account from the same IP? For example, using Wi-Fi.
5. Did you deposit or widthdraw large amount before getting disabled?



I did none of the above and have also been disabled so this is bullshit or either that you are a shill for shitrex.They have breached trust of all users through their underhanded dealings meaning they are untrustworthy and unethical.

He is clearly a fukking trex-shill. I did none of the above, still I can't withdraw any coins. It's a fukking joke especially if they post passports on telegram groups.
Complete noobs I can only advice anybody to get out immediately as soon as you have your coins back. Mine are stuck, no support , no warning and bittrex
went into hiding without any official statement.

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 then please give me my coins back

That's correct. You can't just change terms without noticing users AND agreeing to them.
That's completely against the law and illegal. A statement that if
someone does not want to go through the new terms and verification process,
give the option to close accounts and return funds to user.

I agree, a 0 BTC daily limit unless verified is NOT the product I signed up for before I gave Bittrex my money.

Many people don't want to get verified because they don't trust exchanges with personal data, simple as that.

It's actually illegal without the account holder's approval or agreement. If they never sent a notice about the change with ample time for ppl to withdraw if not willing to verify, they can be held liable under US laws. As far as I am told they never notified anyone of the changes as well as having a non functional basic verification system .

The US DOJ should be contacted quick about this so they can lock the company's holdings before they decide to run with it and refund people's accounts that chose to close their accounts.

I do not have a stake on this exchange, but have a good friend from Asia that is now stuck with no way to get her funds out of bittrex and their support is not responding to the ticket regarding her wanting to close her account and withdraw everything.

I don't know what the law is in the USA regarding financial institutes changeing there Terms & Condition but here on the other side of the pond if a financial institute changes there T's&C's they are legally required to inform all there customers (and they do, I know from experiance) of the changes and give the customer ample time to decide if they want to stay or leave, with no penalties or fees.

Same here in the US. They cannot just implement something without notifying customer.




So, I had a talk with my lawyer and he clearly stated changing terms and conditions without notice is illegal and will be punished by law.
Just wanted to inform you. This will get very ugly for Bittrex.

They are basically scamming and I read somewhere that jomio or jumio whatever the name of the system is, will sell your ID data if needed. It seems to be specified in their ToS. I don't know if it's true but I wouldn't be surprised.



Indeed this is a claim in their terms. All data you upload belong to them.
Another user posted their terms and it was written that all request send
to their support team is their intellectual property. It's absolutely insane.

Wondering what stuff they smoked lately @bittexexchange ?

Money laundering policies should be taken only when fiat is involed
Bittrex please  be decent human beings and solve problems like
grown up men and not like in a kindergarden. A statement that if
someone does not want to go through the verification process,

I just wanted to drop in to give my recent experience with the exchange.  Your mileage may vary, but here is what happened over the span of about an hour this morning:

I was being told by friends that there were all these bad things happening at the exchange, and that people couldn't get their coin out.  I immediately tested a withdrawal, and it went through without issue.  It was under the basic verification amount, but it was immediately processed.  I then applied for enhanced verification.  The facial recognition failed on the process, so I submitted a support ticket, went to their slack and asked about it in their support channel.  It was answered within 10 minutes.  I corrected the issue I had based on the recommendations in the support ticket, resubmitted the documents, and within another 10 minutes, I was enhanced ID verified.  I was then able to withdraw all the coins that I had on the exchange.

I'm not sure why there are so many people claiming Bittrex is stealing their coins, but I'm going to keep using them until otherwise unsatisfied with their service or honesty.

I've similar remarks for them. It seems a bit strange to me, looking at all the negative replies around.

One week back, after reading all this, I withdrew my almost all coins from Bittrex. But even till that withdrawal completion, everything worked out smooth for me.



Sometimes I have the feeling people are writing without reading the previous comments  Huh  It's not all about the constantly failing verification process.
It's about people getting forced to do a enhanced verification for even 0.1 BTC! It's about changing withdrawel limits to 0 without giving
loyal customers a heads up or a date  when this will happen.On the other hand deposits are always unlimited!?
Foreign customers are forced to do a enhanced verification because BASIC only works but often fails for US customers.
Why is this ? BASIC should be open to anybody not only US customers.

By changing terms WITHOUT WARNING their customers they are STEALING funds and breaking law that's illegal in every country.
I don't trust them and I will not send them my ID, drivers license or anything else so my coins are STOLEN by them.

Has anyone here recently got verified with basic verification?

As fare as I know nobody got verified with basic verification. Everyone has to go threw the enhanced verification process.
Doesn't matter if you live in US or another country. You are forced to do enhanced verification even for 0.1BTC


Has anyone here recently got verified with enhanced verification?  If so, how long did that take?

Several people got verified with enhanced verification here. But that's not
the point here!  First I don't trust these guys @bittrex and second their verification process forces everybody to do an enhanced verification even for 0.1 BTC.
Deposits are UNLIMITED ! Insane ! It depends if the system can match your ID with the selfie you have to upload and if all infos you entered match your ID !

So once your enhanced verification is set, that means you will have no issues in the future?  Or could they somehow say okay your limits are 0 etc.

Nope, I have red from users that are enhanced verified and there withdraw limit is still 0 and like I said bittrex are changing TERMS on weekly basis!
Just like that. They can disable your account any time if you violate their TERMS.

so i got disabled because i had 2 accounts? wtf.. so if one family with different people are using bittrex they cant because of ip limitations?

my other account contains $ 500 so it should qualify for self enabling, right?

so to get both my accounts enabled i have to verify it, then they'll need another 3 weeks to open my first. or will they just let me withdraw my $ 500 in shitcoins and keep the account that i want them to enable closed? only time will tell what scamrex is up to.




Yeah, you got disabled because you have 2 accounts. They changed terms just like that. Now you are only aloud to have several accounts if you declare them first to Bittrex
So if ou have several family members using same IP accounts get disabled. It's insane. You will have to do an enhanced verify on BOTH accounts now. It's a gauntlet and insane but
who to question KIM JONG RICHIELA  Grin


Quote
My account isn't disabled ---> they just wont let me withdraw. I submitted everything they requested for Basic and for Enhanced, plus extra. They just wouldn't verify my account for withdrawal.

But now I have another problem ---> they are delisting one my tokens, Tokencard, on the 8th but I can't get them off the site so I guess I'm just going to lose them?  That's $1000 bucks gone right there, alone....these guys need to get right!

I know from lot's of users that if the verification process fails to often you can't verify anymore. You are stuck and it has to be done by Bittrex support themselfs. Takes ages.
That's what I thought will happen ! Bittrex starts delisting tons of coins and all people without verification will loose their investment. JUST LIKE THAT. It's a fraud to force
people to verify. At least if you only dealing with crypto and SMALL amounts.

Ok guys so I had my account verified yesterday to echanced. You might've seen me posting in this and some other threads. My thing was Name Mismatch on echanced verification.

What I did, step by step, in case anyone finds it helpful:
1. 19th Nov - Created support ticket with uploaded scan of my passport (at this point I thought this whole thing is just inconvienient and been withdrawing bit by bit to the tiny limit I still had).
2. Waited 7 days - no resoponse. Somewhere withing these 7 days I've noticed my account was changed to "new" and my withdrawal limit to 0 with no notice or warning. This got me really worried.
3. 26th Nov - I've replied to the same ticket asking for an update.
4. At this point I also started reading on the extent of this problem and got really worried. Tried to get somehow in touch with Bittrex, started posting my ticket number on forums as well as in replies to @BittrexExchange and @ramikawach. I've tried to get their attention to all the bad publicity their company is getting. In tweets, I didn't post begs - there were 100s of these. I tried to ask a constructive question like "when can we get an update on support ticket backlog" etc, but always included my ticket number.
5. Read lots of threads on this topic, including r/Bittrex and r/Bittrexscam.
6. 2nd Dec - Some superstar on reddit said he got his ticket verified after emailing bill@bittrex and also that he got a reply from ryan@bittrex.
7. 2nd Dec - I've emailed these two chaps with a polite request to have a look at my case. I've tried not to sound angry or confrontational. From my own dealings with customers at work, I know how easy it's to get someone in to defensive mode so I've tried to avoid that.
8. 2nd Dec - Got automatic reply from Bill saying he reads all emails but might not reply if he's too busy and also that for support issues I should be contacting support.bittrex.com. No reply from Ryan.
9. 2nd Dec - At this point I've also uploaded to my ticket a new HD selfie plus another selfie of me holding passport next to my face (this is in addition to the passport scan I've uploaded originaly with the ticket).
10. 3rd Dec - Twelve hours later my account got approved for enchaced.
11. I took out all my coins to ledger.
12. Can sleep again.

What I find the weirdest is that my ticket on Bittrex support still shows as open. There's no reply there from Bttrex other than standard automatic one. I've also received no email about my account beign verified. In fact If I didn't log in to Bittrex yesterday I still wouldn't know. This makes me think my whole issue was resoved outside the official support channel by someone reading my email or seeing my tweet or post.

Now I'm not sure if this will work for anyone else.  Also sorry for the wall of text.







Problem is I don't trust these guys @bittrex with my personal documents. To much fukkery went on over there.
"HD selfie plus another selfie of me holding passport next to my face" that's completely INSANE for a 0.1 BTC withdraw.
Again, we are not talking about any FIAT withdraw! Wondering what's next ? We have to fly to Bittrex headquarters directly
to check my ID directly live and in person? I think that's insane.

Small amounts of crypto should be withdrawn without any hustle and without going threw enhanced verification!

Wow, now they are closing down their sub Reddit to shutup their loyal customers. Really that's your solution Bittrex ? Guys you really have
to learn how to treat loyal cusomers #CustomerRelationship



They tried, reddit said NOPE!



At least some good news here! Good move by Reddit. They know how to treat loyal users.
It seems Bittrex doesn't like critical questions and banning people because they want
their funds back. Wow, Bittrex turned into a dictatorship. What's next ?


 
Out of curiosity, has anyone outside of the U.S been able to successfully verify with only the Basic Verification?

Again, that is NOT possible!!! People OUTSIDE US are forced to do enhanced verification. It's insane.
Even if you only have 0.5 BTC and want to withdraw you are forced to do the enhanced verification
BASIC ONLY is working for US customers ( based on local register check).  And you can't withdraw
any altcoin, too. Will be very brutal when they start to delist more coins and you can't withdraw!!  Angry Huh




I am in the US and they are treating me the same way, so ---> there is something else going on here.  I am pretty sure that they are doing an analysis of the blockchains to see what addresses interacted with what other address to build some sort of a database of user profiles.

I'm also from the U.S. and Basic verification failed. In fact i still have not seen a single person claim to have passed this basic verification facade.

I ve been able to pass enhaned,if you are from USA write to us ,journalists,agencies,bittrex may goeas down beouse of printed tether



I don't get your point  Huh What does Bittrex have in common with Bitfinex's Tether ?

It's very strange at the moment. Enhanced verification for withdrawing crypto(even for 0.1BTC). Loyal customers getting accounts locked and silenced.
0 withdraw but unlimited deposit! Verification process that constantly fails. Thousands of support requests open. Bittrex trying to delete their Reddit page.

very suspicious, Cryptsy is the making? I mean they used the same tactic before they folded!

Sure, that's possible if your account is disabled. Mine is working fine. I can't withdraw.
BASIC verification is based on a US local register check. Maybe your are not  registered
properly or your location doesn't match with the database they are using? That's all.

Logically Bittrex doesn't have access to people registers outside the U.S. so everyone
is forced to do the enhanced verification. Even if you only have 0.1 BTC and just
want to withdraw it.  It's over the top and doesn't make sense. I don't want any
FIAT just my small amount of BTC that's it.

I have a legacy account and was fine with the lower limits in place before as I only traded small amounts there due to their larger selection of alt coins. I just tried to withdraw a small amount today and it failed. I was last able to do a successful withdrawal on November 1st.

So I go ahead and fill out the information for a basic account and their automated system fails. WTF, I been at same address for many years and I have done similar verification at other more reputable places many times successfully. Now they want me to do enhanced verification to get less than .5 BTC off their site?

Do you have a small amount there and you want to solve this small amount via lawyers? that doesn't make sense to me Smiley Moreover bittrex can change own T&C that is a problem but hard to argue with them

This I disagree with as while they can change the terms and conditions, they also need to provide a way to opt out of those terms. Every other place sends an advance notice to you that they are changing their terms and conditions and if you do not agree with them you have the option to close your account and any funds will sent to you. Bittrex is ignoring the law and trapping users funds forcing them to register before they will release them. This is a one way arrangement so how could you agree when you are being basically forced to accept it or forfeit your funds.

As far as solving for layers, yea I think a class action is in order. Hundreds of small amounts do add up considering BTC is now trading at $11k, even half a bitcoin ~$5,500 times hundred or thousands of users adds up quite quickly.





Yeah, you are in the exact same situation like me. Same story , same problem here.
It's insane. First I don't trust these dictators @bittrex with my personal documents.
Second why do I have to do a enhanced verification for 0.5 BTC ? Sure if I want to
convert to US FIAT money I agree to do a  enhanced verification but to send some
small amount of crypto to my personal address ? Really ?

It seems a lawyer is the only solution. Because Bittrex ignores any questions and all Bittrex authority's
went into hiding! It's okay to change Terms and conditions but then you have to give every
LEGACY user a headsup first with a possibility (until years end) to withdraw coins if you are
not happy with new conditions! My coins are locked up but I still can deposit unlimited amounts
of crypto to Bittrex. It doesn't make sense!

This is the same tactic that Cryptsy used before they folded. They let people trade unregistered for years then the withdrawal problems started. They hid behind the KYC laws and also required verification, but in reality they were just delaying payment as long as they could to make an exit scam. I predict a year from now Bittrex will not exist.

Wow, that's  breaking news to me. Didn't know that.  Bittrex is clearly going in the same direction here.
Nothing makes sense at the moment.

Wow, now they are closing down their sub Reddit to shutup their loyal customers. Really that's your solution Bittrex ? Guys you really have
to learn how to treat loyal cusomers #CustomerRelationship



They tried, reddit said NOPE!



At least some good news here! Good move by Reddit. They know how to treat loyal users.
It seems Bittrex doesn't like critical questions and banning people because they want
their funds back. Wow, Bittrex turned into a dictatorship. What's next ?


 
Out of curiosity, has anyone outside of the U.S been able to successfully verify with only the Basic Verification?

Again, that is NOT possible!!! People OUTSIDE US are forced to do enhanced verification. It's insane.
Even if you only have 0.5 BTC and want to withdraw you are forced to do the enhanced verification
BASIC ONLY is working for US customers ( based on local register check).  And you can't withdraw
any altcoin, too. Will be very brutal when they start to delist more coins and you can't withdraw!!  Angry Huh

I think it is time to get in contact with the mainstream media.

AGAIN: BITTREX please give all LOYAL LEGACY users the possibility to withdraw their funds until end of year.
That would be perfectly fine for me! Thank you.

Is bittrex freezing the funds/accounts for the USA users only or they are fucking everyone from any country?
Do you guys tried to withdraw any altcoins except BTC? Is it available or they also blocking alt withdrawal?

Bittrex is the famous name for headache currently, just trying to figure out a solution. Bittrex should come back on track before they burn in hell.



They are fucking everybody. US customers have the advantage that the BASIC verification
might work (local US register check). BASIC account would be perfect for me. Problem is ALL
foreign people are FORCED to do an enhanced verification (>100BTC withdraw). I don't need that.
BASIC withdraw limit would be fine for me but I can only do ENHANCED. I am a good loyal customer
everything is 100% legal but I don't trust these Bittrex jackasses with my ID, drivers license etc...
God knows who gets my stuff!?

And it doesn't matter if you try to withdraw BTC or LTC or DASH. 0 withdraw means ZERO withdraw!

Re: Bittrex Unverified User - Be Careful ! 0.025 BTC Withdrawal Limit without Warnin

To all "Unverified" users on Bittrex (like me)

Caution is advised with Bittrex.

Bittrex dropped the withdrawal limit from 1 BTC to 0.025 BTC without prior notice.


The answer is so simple just get  verified  using your  government id to increase your withdrawal limit into 100 btc a day.
After that you wont have any problem  everytime your making a withdrawal on bittrex


Problem is I and lot's of other customers don't trust Bittrex anymore.
To much fuckery went on with that exchange. Changing terms and banning users. Really?

I only have a small amount of crypto there
it doesn't make sense to do a enhanced
verification (>100BTC) for that amount I hold.
Will have to get a lawyer to get my money back.
