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.

I will not like to argue with you over this issue but i do not agree with you because i am also an unverified bittrex user and i transferred 0.045btc just yesterday here, probably your account is a brand new and you need to wait for 7 working days.

You should be able to verify your account pretty easily. I vaguely remember the approval for basic/phone verification taking a few min/hours few weeks back. Yesterday, I decided to upgrade my account to "Enhanced Verification" level (the highest level and you can withdraw >100 BTC) and it took me about 10 min. to get it approved. I just had to upload an ID document and a selfie, that's it! It is still much quicker than getting verified on other exchanges such as Kraken/Coinbase/CEX.

I'd advise you to get your account verified just in case you need to withdraw large amounts in the future.

i have a bittrex account same with you i am still unverified user but my cousin use my bittrex to transfer 0.54BTC to his account hassle free... its been 1 month old my account in bittrex and we dont experience this issue even the first time i use it... maybe bittrex have new policy to those unverified user by now....

Wow 😲 very small amount withdraw,livecoin dont have the limit.

I suppose for all new accounts they dropped the withdrawal limit from 1 BTC to 0.025 BTC.
For the old ones it remains the 1 BTC.

i suppose it is a KYC/AML thing which they set based on USD value of your withdrawal not a fixed amount of bitcoin. that is why it has changed without notice.

checking my account it says i am limited to 1337 (haha leet) amount of daily bitcoin withdrawal. and it was 2000 bitcoin before.

Still you have an option to withdraw in some other currencies, such as Ethereum for example and somewhere else you can exchange it to bitcoin :) Ofcourse it is better to verify your account on bittrex for future purpose.

A newbie account must verify to transfer more than 0.025 BTC. yes this condition they did not display anywhere, but while you are transferring your coins, you will get this error message. Any how you want to do big amount transaction you need to verify your account. So now only provide your id and recent selfie and verify the account. Within few hours your account will be verified.

I have a strong feeling this is because the US government is pressuring every group/company that's working with crypto.  It wouldn't surprise me if Bittrex was approached, shown BTC-e, and highly suggested they begin to limit actions of unverified users if they want to keep operating.  I'm in the US and it's quite frustrating how antagonistic my government is to crypto.

Mine says this as well however I still have a basic account it says. I have had this account open for over 3 years - is your account nearly this old as well? I am confused by the limit. I move a decently large amount out over the past several days and I had no trouble at all - depositing a BTC was rather slow but it showed up without any additional problems.. I wonder if the feds are cracking down again.. glad I am moving to more cold storage.

Let me show you the official rules.

I think it's fair for the security and comfort of bittrex exchanger users.
I don't have a problem with it. Because for account verification is very easy you just need to upload your ID Card.

My account is same age, i never did any verification and my withdrawal limit is also 1337. My account type just says Legacy, so maybe you did the basic verification and still have Legacy withdrawal limit?

That has got to be it - I dug around but did not feel like putting too much effort into it. I am happy I can use my account as normal but would not be surprised if things force me to verify other details in the near future. I love how the government does not treat crypto as a currency, yet will enforce restraints on it just like it is. Gotta love how they can just do whatever they want and not follow their own damn rules.  ::)

I don't feel comfortable at all uploading pictures of myself holding an ID on the internet, let alone on some cryptocurrency exchange. As we have seen, all these exchanges are shady by default and could collapse at any time, or someone could hack it and steal your data, and you could be doxed, your pic could be sold on the dark web because your pic holding an ID could be used by other people to try to verify themselves... it's a mess.

This is why I chose to stay as anonymous as possible. I just can't trust the exchanges, specially the altcoin exchanges.

0.025 is stunningly small. I guess it's only temporal until its up to 1 BTC again?

But Bittrex is so stupid lately. They now request all your real data even to trade crypto to crypto. Honestly fuck them.

I am not sure, the decision of bittrex management or forced by US government. But I have a bad issue when you verify with 2fa autenticator, your security is vulnerable. http://highoncoins.com/cryptocurrency-trading-tips/do-not-use-two-factor-authenticatoin-with-bittrex/
Last week I also withdraw my BTC but it was limited to 0.025. I think it's too small.

I just noticed this too, although I have not tried to withdraw my BTC from Bittrex but I am now hesitant to withdraw them. Might try to withdraw a few BTC's to see of I can withdraw more than what is allowed currently, 0.025BTC is such a small amount you can withdraw daily.

yeah, something like 2-3 years old. it is basically any account that was created before they started asking for verifications. and remember this is "daily withdrawal" limit. you may as well move 3-4 bitcoin daily and that is a large amount but it is not even 1/100th of the total daily allowed limit.

From what Bittrex wrote (https://support.bittrex.com/hc/en-us/articles/215282838), I expect the opposite:
My guess is they want to become "less shady" from a government's perspective, in order to allow USD trading.

Interesting. I wonder if it is because they have had an influx on new accounts and are worried about money laundering.

I found the following article that gives the rules on withdrawals:

https://support.bittrex.com/hc/en-us/articles/231701788


So I'm guessing you have an unverified account that was created after October 2016.

amongst the borderline retarded replies in this thread (for some reason) - I would like to strongly emphasize and re-iterate the sentiment of this comment.  To be abundantly clear, I think this individual has it EXACTLY correct.

verification outside the USA only depents on a phonenumber.
You will receive the message that your name adres etc dont show up in there register.

Maybe they do that one to force their user to verify theirselves to make sure that the people who doing some trades their are legit and not dummy, and those verification thing is occuring on newly built account but if you put some basic information and do some phone verification then you will prolong your withdrawal limits there. And having that a little verification is totally no problem with me aslong as they does not require me to submit my personal I'd.

Hey guys im thinking about creating a bittrex account.  So if i do not have a verified account, how many bitcoin or altcoins can i send to my account to switch for bitcoin or another altcoin like ETH?  I assume back then you could do up to 3btc in trades per day whether btc to ETH or vice versa?  But now its max 0.025 btc?  Can someone confirm this is what is meant by it?

Maybe the minimum amount to deposit won't matter on that since I try to create new and deposit a lot of alts there and they receive my deposits and the only problem I face is when I try to withdraw my BTC and it limit me for 0.02+ a day since my account is not been verified. But when I do little verification on it my limit has been increase and people should do some verification on bittrex to rise their withdrawal limit a day.

When is the rule at least WD 0,02btc it ,,? Yesterday I still can WD around 01btc.. Maybe all that is done to minimize money laundering cases, But for the 0.02 btc limit it is too low.. :(

It has been implemented but i don't know when the exact time. To all unverified account , daily withdrawal limit has been decreased to 0.025 btc not 0.02 btc. Just do basic and phone verification about your bittrex account and you should be fine after that.

Hey just looking for some clarification.  Do you have a "Basic" Bittrex account to have seen this limit?

I just made a new account and it looks like it requires some personal information to upgrade to a basic account, which still looks like it's unverified.

Thanks for sharing dude. I guess verifying your basic info will raise this limit. Let's all try and verify or better still withdraw according to the amount you are limited.
These often lead to what people call it they've scammed me. Let be careful!!!

That scenario sounds odd. They will take all the money you can send them (deposits), but will not allow you to take it back (withdraw) unless you do in ,025 BTC fractions?  :o
Something smells fishy. Hope they didnt get hacked and are buying time. Thats the behavior banks do before customers want out of the collapsing bank in 3rd world countries

I have the same daily limit of 1337 BTC, but didn't try to do withdrawal yet. Do you have any error in case of withdraw more than 1 BTC?

Have a look at these posts on the subject

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1989879.msg20795739#msg20795739

Ok, thx man, will go there.

No, if you don't verify your account you will have NO access to any funds you send there, and no way to withdraw them.

0 BTC per day for unverified users.

I have no idea why Bittrex have done this but it fucking sucks and the fact that they don't tell you about this when you sign up has to warrant some kind of customer complaint process.

I told a friend to sign up for an account, they transferred a bunch of various assets over, now they can't withdraw any of them without going through Bittrex's verficiation process, which as all of you outside of the USA will know, is totally pointless as ALL non-US verifications fail without supplying serious ID docs (driving license, utility bills etc).

Basically, if you open a Bittrex account, send assets there and then don't verify your account you have just lost your money.

I have been using bittrex for 3 years now and suddenly my account got limited and since i am not from united states basic verification would not work, i am against uploading personal data because if a leakage or hack happen then everyone is in danger.

Yeah same , im using basic verification from indonesian , but their declined my basic verification and recommend me using upload an identity or password , im trying to verification using identinty , just 5min my withdraw amount increased to 100Btc/Day.
Yap , but i trust bittrex their will make the system more secure for database some identity or passport number on their database.

Pretty easy would mean that you are in a country who have database that can be verified immediately by the management of bittrex so you get to quickly move beyond that point but for someone who is not in a country like that, I tell you, there is no way out of it and the best is to go for the enhanced verification which might still be difficult with respect to the information they are requesting. Anyone who has not used bittrex in a while.should first go there and see things before depositing straight.

It is fishy. Especially as their withdrawal fees are so high. So instead being able to withdraw 1btc with one withdrawal fee of 0.001 btc ($5.85 at a bitcoin price of $5850), you need 40 transactions of 0.025, and the fees add up to 0.04btc which is $234

I suppose you could convert to something like doge to avoid the high fees. But it's not ideal.

I'd advise legacy unverified accounts to withdraw their coins before they get limited.

this also happen to me i already have an like 0.09 in my account it is new. well i deposit it from the exchanger, but the problem is after creating my new account the withdrawal limit there is 0 btc, there is no 0.025  in unverified account it should have 0.025btc withdrawal per day right, my account doesn't have, something is  going on in this exchanger.

this is wiggly wobbly BS - none of these articles clearly point the exact case when you can not withdraw ANY funds. which is a reality if you don't strip naked in terms of anonymity at least to some degree, which is not ok for crypto. and it is especially NOT OK to accept ANY deposits or let users generate ANY addresses for deposits, unless the fact that you can not withdraw ANYthing unless you get verified, gets pointed out CLEARLY and most visibly on the page. otherwise this exchange is a trap for user funds. you can send crypto there, but you'll get extorted into forfeiting your anonymity if you want it back. basically they take your money without asking who you are, but they won't give it back without demanding an answer.

ASK the question BEFORE accepting deposits. ffs this makes me so mad. this is fraud and I will let lawyers decide if this is ok, currently they hold some of my funds hostage to this trickery too. (but it is a new account, so maybe I will see some other options in 24hrs)

I bet this is not ok legally, well screw it, I am in the same trap right now and I will not give them my personal information unless alongside a lawsuit which will cost them lots and lots of users. once users clearly get presented with the fact that - unless you strip naked in terms of privacy - you will be prevented from access to ALL OF YOUR deposits there. I expect them to change this and point it out very clearly on their website, especially on the "generate address" and "deposit" -related pages.

I already contacted a law-firm and explained what the problem about all this really is.

edit: wait a minute, my account is new too, does that mean after waiting 24hrs I will be at least be able to withdraw small amounts? maybe it is too soon to sound the war horn - I'll keep you updated in 24hrs

Happened to me as well.

1337 > 0.025.

Might as well close my account after 3 years and 7 months of use.

Most likely not. As stated below, Unverified accounts falls to 0BTC -. 025BTC withdrawal limit, not a fixed .025BTC. And the most important part, It'll be based on your account creation date. Most probably new registered accounts will get 0BTC and the old ones will get .025BTC.
 

Lol. So what did the lawfirm says? If you're planning to file some legal action on bittrex. It will cost you a lot. Think back if spending lots of money is worth it for your new account.

We are on the same boat.

From 1337 > 0.025 > 0.00

Yesterday it was still .025 but today 0.00.

I still have few btc left in my account and sadly bittrex don't want me to withdraw them.

:o :o
They pulled the same on me! They must really hate having any customers left!

I posted this in another thread about Bittrex:
I don't want to send them a selfie and an unedited copy of my passport (which is something my government warns against!).
It seems like they're just trying to see what they can get away with, many people with small balances will let it slide, which is pure profit for them.

I have funds in there, from LoyceV's Hero Small 10 Month Person 10 Altcoin Investment Experiment (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2024536.0). I have 8.5 months left before I need to withdraw, so I'll wait a bit and see how this develops.

Support system of Bittrex is terrible. My friends didn't  know about withdraw rule and now cannot withdraw. My account withdraw limit is decrease from 3 BTC to 0.4 BTC with any notice.
Hope some whales meet same situation and call bittrex in court.

Same here, shittrex locked my funds,
Looking for some advice with lawyers..

Have to find away to release it !

They have to solve the problems as soon as possible, or the volume of transactions may be reduced. The end can be like Poloniex.

Poloniex still running until now, when did they shutdown their site? Their daily volume transaction still huge like usual. I hate to say this, but people can only waiting their support ticket get replied because you will never get any reply from Bittrex's support or admin on here.

same here

Yes, same here.

I had a script to withdraw 0.025 BTC everyday and sudently the limit dropped down to 0.

I have some BTC left on it. Basic verification is not working and I'm not trusting a company with this kind of behavior to give them a copy of my ID card.

Same here. Had my LEGACY Account everything worked fine.
Then without warning the account was turned into a NEW account with 0.025 BTC limit.
After 3 weeks limit dropped down to 0. Now I can't withdraw anything.

They also changed their FAQ page. Limit on NEW accounts are 0 now.
I don't think they can't just change their term without giving everybody
a heads up.

Support just says If I want my money I have to do the extended verification process.
As fare as I know BASIC verification only works with US citizens. Basically everybody
outside US has to send a copy of their ID to them. It's ridiculous

Same sad story.
Legacy account, age over 3y. Now daily limit is 0 BTC.
ALL , what do you think, if create ticket to close account, will bittrex let choose where to transfer coins on non-empty wallets without verification or they simply delete your account and take your coins ?

You mean, that Bittrex is only limiting BTC trading or has different limits on different coins? Then it would indeed be simple to bypass limits on Bittrex.

They can delete your account and take your coins.

And the claims they need enhanced verification by US law is bullshit - US law deals only with fiat and only with withdrawals of $2000 in fiat or more in one transaction. Having small amounts on an exchange are not a problem. And cryptocurrency is considered to be an asset in the US like stocks. Just as there is no problem in dealing with stocks, there is no problem dealing in cryptocurrency. Bittrex have invented these rules to seize people's coins.

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.

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

Wrong. Withdrawal of all coins blocked. 0 BTC means 0 in all coins. I tried OMG, XRP, ZEC.

a-zimmerer, alyssa85 thanks for replies !


pealr12, you don't get it. On some day Bittrex without any warning just deceided to disable some accounts and to block coins on another accounts.
There is no news letters or something about rules change, no choice for us, just order to get verified, after 3y on that platform.
On my account there are no pump-dump transactions, any bot activity and etc.

And another major problem - if look into others bittrex threads, then you see that verification for now lasts for MONTHS and no one guarantee that it will be successful, they just think up something to decline it and
you have to start your try again.

For me it looks, like Bittrex was hacked recently or they lost much balance somehow and they just deceided get that money by stealing it from unverified accounts.
They think that while we get verified status (several months !!!) they will recover lost funds from fees and all will be happy or just planning to fully scam in that time.

I have a small amount there as well and indeed they have now made it 0 for unverified accounts. 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?


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.

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.

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!




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.

Has anyone here recently got verified with basic verification?

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

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.

Unable to get a reply from the Support Team regarding verification requests. It's been nearly one and half months since raised.  :'(

My Bittrex account withdrawal has been disabled!

I have submitted ticket to support but with no reply!

Bittrex Request Ticket: #548004

Please help!  #bittrex #bittrextrouble #bittrexexchange

Has anyone spoke  to a lawyer or something?

Does anyone know where we can complain Bittrex LLC?

Anyone has contact for Bill Shihara, Richie Lai, Rami Kawach, and Ryan Hentz?

You're not alone man :)

My friend did the enhanced verification back then and until now he doesn't has any problem while withdrawing his money in bittrex because the daily limit is 100 btc. He was very lucky to did it before bittrex becomes very strict like now

I would like to know that too. After basic verification I will just get: "We could not match your information to our public record providers."  ???

I got this in an (automated) e-mail today:

"We are actively training new personnel and streamlining our processes to better handle the increased demand. Specifically, in the next week, Bittrex will be more than doubling our current support staff to handle the growth. The hiring of support agents will continue until we can provide the support our customers expect. "

Let's hope it's true!

Many users have difficulty with basic validation and they have to pass the complete verification

Does is say anywhere how much of your daily limit have you used on we need to calculate manually?

Same thing here... Had an account with them unverified for almost 3 years... Was happy with everything because I only do small transactions. Yesterday I deposited some btc and purchased 1000 xvg. Now I can't withdraw it. First it said I had to activate 2FA so I did, didn't work. Then I upgraded to basic, still didn't work. So unless I upgrade to enhanced I can't withdraw a single cent. I don't get it how they can take deposits but not give us a warning at the time to inform us that our accounts are not allowed to withdraw. I feel like they stole from me.

I have solution to make it enhanced verification within 2 working days. Found me at Telegrap @alexa19

I'm furious right now. I tried to get some money out, but can't. Not even like a $100. All of a sudden this absolute BS. Irritation level is so intense. After trading one coin to Bitcoin, and then to Ethereum because of the lower fees.

I just tested it out with .04 Eth, and it says I've reached my limit.

I don't have a new account, I have Google Aut set up, and my limit was grandfathered in because my account was older.

So essentially this means that one must showed them their ID, else your money stays with them.

Like bitfinex or btc-e? I'm not sure if we should trust ANY exchanges, just tried to say that they can do what they want. Hard to imagine that a regulators will help us

That does make sense, they just probably obtain a paper from "high" and now they have to play according their new rules

I had no problems with bitrex, output 0.6 bits, everything was normal.

You have probably verified account thus you can withdrawn without problems, but people complain that they can't withdrawn if they have a basic account, without verification

already a month I can not pass the check. tech support is silent. the most awful Bittrex support

actually, this is very disturbing
I also wonder, why Bittrex is so boring,
is this all done for the security of the trader or for the convenience of the team?

Probably because they are over flooded with account verifications and they don't have enough team members to deal with all of them.
This thread is very old(in crypto terms) and you can't withdraw anything without verification. You can't create new account any more.
