Please post here if your account was disabled.

We need to know how many people are really affected.

I'm filling out the form to upgrade my account but when I hit Submit nothing happens.
Not a clue what's going on or what to do next.

I would like to see how many accounts have been disabled, this is very serious,what have Bittrex done these days

I've read many reports, that's why I would like to know how many users does the mass account disablement affect.

My account get disabled too.

Bro here's another topic about this issue :
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2267728

Disabled my Enhanced Verified account for 5 days with almost 1000$ coins value.

What I don't understand is why they allow deposits before disablements. I'm sure for most of the cases they can already know which users are going to be disabled even before they deposit.

i know this bittrex news maybe you can read it. affect about thousands account disable

My account with Bittrex is still working but I moved my funds out of Bittrex today. I don't want to wait for Bittrex to disable my accounts while I still have funds there and besides I am planning to put all my Bitcoins in my wallet to anticipate the hard fork and Bitcoin Gold. Bittrex has been mum about this issue lately like there's no issue at all.

bittrex staff will not read your word. try to post here.

maybe this is official threat on this forum.

mine Disabled  too

Seems like different people are having different problems. Personally, my account was not disabled even though Bittrex is currently asking me for verification. They do not seem to have limited any sort of withdrawals from my account even though my account is unverified. Luckily for me, they do not hold any significant amount of my funds, but for those who do have something inside and have not had their accounts disabled, I would recommend to get everything out of there ASAP.

Edit: I can now confirm that I was able to withdraw everything I had inside.

So they can hold people's coins hostage and essentially blackmail them for their personal information.

Yep pretty much this.

you are right ; Most site exchange allow deposit btc and altcoins But withdraw requires verification . Deposit must be prevented before not confirmation of identity with documents . At least people do not wait and panic On their money

My account was disabled since  12/Oct to now, and i didn't receive any response from bittrex.
Unfortunately, It seems they will scam random.

its been 14 days since my account disabled
its true scaming & fraud

I see a random assortment of people claiming that they are either suspended/disabled or that they are not. Perhaps it's only a geographic suspension? For example, I am in the U.S. and did not get my account disabled. Has anyone else reported that they have had their accounts disabled from inside the U.S.? To play devil's advocate, something could have happened where only certain users have gotten affected or maybe certain demographics happen to be easily deceived/phished, etc.

I've noticed that it seems to be geographically based. I'm guessing there's some regulatory or law enforcement pressure on Bittrex. In particular, I've noticed complaints from Middle Easterners and particularly Iranians, as well as Russians and former CIS countries. I can only speak anecdotally, but it looks somewhat political in nature to me.

To boot, people who are fully verified are having accounts disabled too, so it's not just a matter of tightening KYC across the board. I haven't heard of anyone from the US getting accounts locked, either.

21 days passed
still nothing

I got disabled in US. Although I am not a citizen of US, but I live in US right now.

What was the IP address of the place where you registered from?

Furthermore, have you logged in from any place other than the U.S. to this same account? I believe that the location detection could work on either registration location or on the most recent location, albeit maybe it does work on citizenship country. However, I doubt this is the case as Bittrex does not actually have any way of knowing what your citizenship country is if you are not verified anyway, leading me to think that at one point you must have logged in from elsewhere which might have raised a flag for needing further verification. This is just a guess, though.

bittrex disabled my account with more than 5-6  with no reason!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i was basic member...........

Common cases why bittrex do  blocked or disabled accounts because of using VPN which a friend of mine did experience such thing that his bittrex account has been blocked and he tried out what happened and asking regarding any violations that he possibly commit until the support did make some reply stating that it is being logged in on different country which they did disable the account for security purpose.He just remember that he did able to logged-in using VPN which he do explain on them and activate his account back.

Ah, so that could potentially be the underlying cause between some of the account suspensions. But then more importantly for those affected, I take it that your friend was able to talk them into re-enabling his account without requiring any verification? If so, then that is very good news for those with suspended accounts seeking to get them re-enabled while still maintaining their privacy/anonymity and not having to send over their identification documents to a party that they don't necessarily trust. Of course, just trying to get ahold of their customer service in and of itself is a pretty good idea regardless. Good luck to those affected.

@rapidleech What happens when you try to log in Bittrex? Because When I log in my account I am automatically redirected to the verification page but I read a long time ago that accounts created before a date don't need to be verified to be able to use it normally, and it's my case. So I have no idea if my account is in good shape or not.

same here, redirect to the verification page & funds blocked
wating more than 22 days
site gone scam - it will comes to every one very soon

23 days without any response and reply is past @bittrexexchange ??? ??? ??? ???

Hardly geographically alone by my experience, neither beeing middle east nor iranian myself, and how about their support department handling situation...


Totally random and overworked. Got my account which carried zilch ballance blocked. Gone through all of their chicanery to reenable. That lasted days.
At least they are not exit scamming, since blocking zilch accounts would not enrich no one. Yes, I have peddled through all of this just to recover $0.0
I assume they are in panic mode at Bittrex, probably pressure applied by law enforcement to shut down the whole show. Now they are randomly havocing partially based upon IP location or random number generators to prevent that somehow. Revoking fully verified customers speaks volumes about their verification not beeing up to par with pressured requirements.

I can feel with them. Suggesting to move the company abroad into safer waters.

Is there a way to get an attorney for this problem.. because i have over 40 thousand dollar in value in my account.. does anybody know a better way to make them verify my account faster?? How long does normally takes??

I am no lawyer, but I believe that your case and the legality of them suspending your account and blocking access to your funds is going to depend on the local laws of whichever jurisdiction you reside in. Ironically, it is in situations like this that your government and their willingness to regulate exchanges and to help customers come into play. Bringing in official authorities also brings complications, though. You need to prove that you are the rightful owner of the funds if you wish to pursue legal compensation for your suspended account and are most likely to have to prove to officials the source of your Bitcoins. If you bought these through some exchange using fiat, this should be no problem at all, but do know that it will be recognized for tax purposes and other official matters. Good luck.

cryptocurrencies and digital tokens. Based and fully regulated in the USA Words out of their mouth :D They are stupid to comply with the regulations in the USA and think that people will comply as well, If you are regulated, Taxing people by having them under your feet, Why would you as a government allow your people to earn so much money in the first place? I would suggest you to stop using any of the major exchanges, They will gonna do the same as bittrex.

Its not suspended I just have 00 balance withdraw limit recently happened and im waiting for them to respond to the support ticket but someone said that we can show up at their offices to fix this issue about costumer verification, I have everything I need to verify myself

I have launched a telegram group. I want all those whose account has been disabled to join to this group. and if we needed to file a lawsuit against them we can do it collectively for better results.
everybody is welcome
here is group:

Hey, I just wanted to let everyone who is interested in knowing what Bittrex is up to that I did end up having my account limited even though I reside in the United States. However, the process of getting your account upgraded is actually fairly easy. If you put in just your information without having to submit any documents, you already get enough verification to be able to withdraw up to around 0.4 BTC from your wallet. If you happen to have more than that in all of your coin wallets combined inside Bittrex, then you do have to either withdraw everything slowly every day or go up to the next verification level which I am not sure how long it takes. The first verification level only took me 10 minutes to get through and the identification part was basically instant. This is probably in big part because of my location, however, so it could vary.

Maybe I can help
