BTC withdrawal is temporarily disabled due to the local policy


I receive this message when I try to withdraw my bitcoin. what is going on?

What is the message you are getting. Can you upload a screen shot or type it out?

Is your account verified? And at what level of verification? Most places have multiple levels. Are you at your withdrawal limit by any chance?

Says my daily withdrawal limit is 20btc.. im doing less..

Error message is this "BTC withdrawal is temporarily disabled due to the local policy."

More than 20 btc withdrawal limit that too minimum are you kidding or wallet guy is playing game I would say you have to find out wallet company physical place and ask to crack joke once again

Looks like you're not the only one that has that problem(https://mobile.twitter.com/btercom/status/870449753699602433). contact their support staff or wait till they fix the issue.

Edit: exchange your BTC to LTC and withdraw it, LTC withdrawal is working!

Hi overnightmillionaire , maybe they are asking for a KYC verification (so just upload your passport image).
If you are tired to send your documents on line ( to a site that as been hacked 3 times is not the top choice...) exchange your btc for zcash and then withdraw your zcash. It's working and probably is one of the quickly and easy solution for withdraw from bter. Obviously you lose a bit during this exchange.

This raises red flags for online wallets. I'm currently using an online wallet but I think this sounds a warning to me so I'm tempted to move back to my electrum wallet.

I have no response about it, even I have not received a message at all, about my account that has not been verified? And at what verification level? Most places have many levels of it.

Fast man, they can dissapear very quickly. Save ur coins this way.
Good luck!

You dont have soo much time left and do this way already on switching to another coin and withdraw it as fast as you can and dont bother on the less amount of trading prices. This is the best possible way to get out on that site. They refuse withdrawal because of local policy somethings fishy and its too hassle to give again your documents for verification.

maybe you've missed it but bter.com has not been trusted for a very long time, ever since they got hacked out of 7000BTC (I think) and never paid back their users. I still have an account there with some BTC lost which they still remain in my wallet as another name and not-withdrawable.

Hi lite, for what I know if you try to withdraw LTC you have the same issue :( .
The only coins that you can withdraw without problems (KYC!) is ZCASH.

megynacuna: all e-wallets are considered a risk. if you don't own your private key or you're not the only you are risking to loss your btc.

As described by Pursuer they are considered one of the risky exchange in the entire btc environment.
A lot of scams, strange politics as remboursment (after 1 year and half they just pay 10%! of total lost funds...)
Personally I will not deposit there not more then 1 satoshi!

Never used Bter and I don't think I will ever use them. If I am remembering correctly they have recently gone through long maintenance without any notice and have seen many people having problem with their account recently. Also it looks like they are going to add strict KYC policy now after. They have recently decreased daily withdrawal limit to only 2 BTC https://twitter.com/btercom/status/870246128008265729

What does it mean?
Well 2 choices:
-They try to leave with the money and to screw you
-They have a hot wallet problem, someone made a withdrawal a bit too important and hot wallet is empty. Just wait a bit for them to fill it again!

Or maybe they just applying the new regulation for btc withdrawal :) asking the KYC.
They don't need to scare anybody also their business is due to new deposit :) , it was already reported in this topic : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=956738.1360;topicseen the heavy problem related to btc withdrawal with bter.
As already suggested best solution is using ZCASH!

That ain't good. Try contacting the support team to help resolve the issue. It may be a little error from their end and hopefully it gets resolved soon, most especially since you aren't the only one involved.

Do you think that is a deliberate act, and if they do, they will certainly not allow you to make any payments, even if you contact support, and they respond, but they will. Look for reasons to deny it.

they're a chinese exchange. chinese exchanges were prohibited from allowing withdrawals. i think that's now over so you can withdraw if you do the kyc thing.

that applies to an exchange that's legit. bter is not legit so don't expect it to be trouble free.

I was able to withdraw my money from BTER today (without KYC procedure) via EOS tokens, recently added to BTER exchange market.

Hope this helps.

Anyone able to withdraw btc with KYC currently? I will go through the KYC process but trying to find out if I can withdraw BTC once that's done or not.

directly from my personal experience, I will never suggest to anyone to send anything to this exchange.
Too many lies, terrible support, wallet doesn't synchronized... and much much more...
Why send an IMPORTANT personal document with sensible info to such potential scammers :O ?

hey guys you should know the answer, I did not KYC passport upload but if I click on 'BTC withdrawal' it shows 20 BTC daily withdrawal limit.
Is KYC stuff needed to do any withdrawal or only to bypass 20 BTC daily limit?

Thanks!

withdrawal is not possible for anyone because bter is a scam site.

if it was KYC they must have a compliance officer right?
who is the compliance officer?

they will just sell your id like scammers do.

Who is trading on bter, are btc withdraw working?

no

I made the biggest mistake signing up and depositing 0.15 BTC. Quickly realized, shit, i cant withdraw from this because of "local policy" go figure. So i converted to Zcash at a loss fast and got out faster than fast. Increadible loss really. Cut and run, cut and runnnn! :-[

I did not do the KYC thing by the way. Everything took about 2 hours until i figured out how to get here, get the info and how to get out without surrendering my ID.

i also have some ETH stuck on bter, will i ever get it back?? :(

How i can get back my eth.They stuck.Fuckin bter  >:(

What are EOS tokens? Are we screwed after Sept 30? I am getting this error message. Whose local policy??? Can I give my acct to someone in a place which allows it according to local policy?

bter.com seems to be rebranding/swapping over to gate.io

You can log into gate.io with your same username and password, and then transfer over your balances.  Withdrawls from gate.io were processed immediately for me, I was able to withdraw about $1000usd in various coins with no issues.  Obviously ymmv, but if you were unable to extract your funds before you should give it another shot. 

that site is wack. whenever i try to remove my coins i always have to change the password multiple times. now im trying to transfer my balances i have on there to the new site and im having the same problems. whats the point of the new gateway if the same issues exist?

site not existed

Individuals don't trust BTER the best choice is to get you bitcoins out of there this moment. BTER has been associated with past trick organizations and a great many people don't care for utilize this trade. There are better alternatives out there. On the off chance that they are not restoring your coins, contact their client support and influence the protest to immediately. This sort of issue could be a transitory glitch in the framework or might be some shady stuff they are doing to take your bitcoins. So do whatever you are going to as quick as you can and get your bitcoins out of there.
