Title: Ftx - coins close contact with impermissible wallets Post by: kiken1 on April 03, 2022, 06:59:13 PM Hi, I received a message from ftx saying that my eth was in contact with an impermissible wallet and it falls under FTX prohibited uses and for that reason my deposit is under review. The withdraw was from a gambling site that I won from betting sports. I read under FTX user aggreement that illigal gambling is not allowed but where I am from off shore gambling is allowed (grey area). They are asking for me to prove that the wallet I used in between is mine. Am I giving them cause to close my account if I give them this proof? I really want to keep that exchange since it is one of the best out there.
If anyone can give me advice, I would appriciate it.

If it is a noncustododial wallet, you will have the total control of your coin because you have the private key. But in case of FTX, they are centralized and have the private key, the exchange has the total control.

Maybe you can just ask for a refund or something. Did you already contact FTX's support?

FTX support should be able to give you the best answer but either way you might still lose the money so why not just give it a try.Here is what they say about gambling. Quote 18. RESTRICTED ACTIVITIES In connection with your use of the Services, you will not: ● engage in any illegal activity, including without limitation illegal gambling, money laundering, fraud, blackmail, extortion, ransoming data, the financing of terrorism, other violent activities or any prohibited market practices Title: Re: Ftx - coins close contact with impermissible wallets Post by: dkbit98 on April 04, 2022, 11:05:12 AM Hi, I received a message from ftx saying that my eth was in contact with an impermissible wallet and it falls under FTX prohibited uses and for that reason my deposit is under review.

I really want to keep that exchange since it is one of the best out there. Can you please show us some screenshot proof of that email coming from FTX (you can blur/hide your data)?I don't know how would they know if gambling is legal or illegal, but that is some weird shit with restricting deposits, freezing your coins, and asking you to prove ownership. This is what you can expect from centralized exchanges, so I suggest in future you should first download coins to your own wallet before sending them to any exchange. I prefer using decentralized exchanges like Bisq, but you can always use mixers to mess up with algorithms of centralized exchanges. |
