Don't fall for scams guys, if you really want the ticket to be seen faster you can use the 2fa ''trick''. You can send them another ticket but using ''disable 2fa'' and telling them you need your 2fa to be disabled. They will ask you for your balance, a few transaction ids and IP to disable your 2fa. You should give them all that + Id and Id+selfie+piece of paper with date and bittrex written on it.

but can't you simply disable 2FA on your settings page? why would they react on that in the support section?

The point is to make them answer you. You are ''tricking'' them into believing you can't access your account, this triggers their system and you will get an automated response. You can then respond to that ticket with your id and selfie and it seems that they will check it faster that way.

Ok, I've done that ... let's see then ...

So hire some more support staff... 

Over the past couple of months, Bittrex has been in the process of improving its identity verification procedures.  There are a number of reasons to improve our processes, including that improved identity procedures help protect Bittrex users from theft and fraud, and prevent abuse of the Bittrex platform.  In addition, Bittrex must comply with the Bank Secrecy Act, U.S. economic sanctions laws, and other legal and regulatory requirements.  Bittrex takes these compliance obligations seriously.  We are committed to making sure our services are not used to launder money, support terrorism, commit fraud or other illegal activities.
 
We understand that our verification process can be frustrating or a hassle.  We have heard your complaints and are working promptly to address each individual support ticket in our system.  But, we cannot do this without the help of our customers.  We have provided below a list of common mistakes or issues that arise during our improved identity verification process that tends to increase the delay in completing the process successfully:
 
Creating multiple accounts associated with a single individual or entity:  Unless you have received prior approval from Bittrex, our system will disable all additional accounts associated with a single individual or entity.  This issue needs to be resolved manually by our support staff.  Given the necessity of manual intervention and the number of tickets we have received lately, there have been significant delays in resolving these issues.  Please do not create multiple accounts.
Name mismatch: If your government issued ID has a different name than the one you provided to Bittrex, your account will not be able to withdraw funds until we resolve the name mismatch.  This issue needs to be resolved manually by our support staff.  Given the necessity of manual intervention and the number of tickets we have received lately, there have been significant delays in resolving these issues.
Unreadable IDs: If your ID is not readable or otherwise unable to be verified as a legitimately issued government ID, we will not allow you to proceed with our improved identity verification process.  Please ensure that the picture of your government issued ID is clear.
Non-Latin characters on the Government IDs:  There are some countries where government IDs do not support the Latin character set.  For these IDs, there are additional steps that Bittrex will need to take to verify the information on the ID, often including manual intervention.  Given the number of tickets we have received lately, there have been significant delays in resolving these issues.  Using international passports generally makes the process move more smoothly as these passports support Latin characters.
Opening multiple support tickets: We have noticed that users are opening multiple tickets with regards to the same issue.  While we understand that the delay can be frustrating, please do not open multiple tickets for the same issue as this will cause your support request to be delayed.
 
Although this is not an exhaustive list, we wanted to provide some context for the delay in responding to individual support tickets.  We trust that you understand Bittrex is committed to following the law and ensuring that it has a robust compliance program.  We ask for your patience and cooperation throughout this process.

Exactly. They must be DROWNING in 10'000s of requests ... still feels scammy ... I'm not giving up hope yet though ...

Haha, sorry, but I do not know others have posted this method in this forum free, I have removed my service, I just want to earn some money from this method, I think it is normal and it does not mean I am a scammer .

Hi everyone,

unfortunatelly i have to confirm everything what this guy said. They have recently stolen my cryptos in value of $2k and closed my account without any word. Little bit before I've just used their "Support center" and asked them, why I was allowed to anonymously deposit cryptos in value of $2k and I am not allowed to also anonymously withdraw them back (they have 0 BTC limit on withdraw for not verified users !!! - and when i submitted the basic verification info - name, birthday etc it says it's not enough that they want enhanced verification)

Result:

1) they didn't even bother to reply.
2) they marked the ticket (my question) as solved (even without reply)
3) they closed my account without a word.
4) thus they stolen my cryptos in value of $2k.

I am inviting all the scammed users to contact the lawyers / FBI / policy together...

Regards,

Lukas

1. if you deposit a large amount, they will disable your account and never reply.
2. if you contact their support they will not rely.
3. if you try to log in they will change your desk login details and then you are not allowed to reset your password.
4. You can not take your money back either!
5. Their verifications don't work on top of it, you are stuck in limbo.

They stole all of my money, took me for everything and I have never used them even once. They are truly the lowest form of scum on this planet. This is a warning to all to PULL OUT your money now as they are going to take you all for everything you have.

1. bullshit auto response that makes absolutely no sense https://postimg.org/image/hpsrl3sg1/
2. https://postimg.org/image/se13xorsx/ -  look my account is disabled on my first ever try, well I better go verify my phone number and promptly resolve this issue
3. https://postimg.org/image/g0o9qs24h/- This is 100% without question the code.  I am not going to take a picture of me looking at the phone writing this down. Guess I can't verify, oh well how about fuck them and I'll simply take my money back
4. https://gyazo.com/1bc9e156c0a30211ec5f88b596f3501d Well fuck me again, how about I read about the disabled accounts on their page to find out why a month busting my ass in two jobs is being held up
5. https://bittrex.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000240791 Nothing, what about that? Shall I keep going?

I am so so angry at this that my head hurts, i'll take a rest but I will dig more evidence later. Let this be a lesson to you all, if they are selectively scamming the little guy, imagine how badly they are going to fuck up a few of the big ones.

Best bet is to still talk about it on social media, this is the only way to make them understand that they need to solve the problem. Their twitter account is like a fucking troll by the way.

Out of curiosity, did most people have their accounts locked or reset to 'new' only after they deposited a significant sum for the FIRST time, or did they deposit/withdraw large-ish sums repeatedly before randomly getting screwed?

My experience has been the latter. I've deposited and withdrawn large-ish amounts many times over the years with no trouble, and then randomly they decided to screw me when I deposited a much smaller amount recently. Weird.

[bittrextrouble]

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 spoken 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?

[BitNaija]

I have read from more experienced guys in this forum warning people not to keep their coins in exchanges. They sure will have reasons for this decision. It should be used for exchange and not to store it.

Are you talking about USD? It seems that people get locked/disabled when they deposit usd, right? I personally have deposited a good sum of btc and other cryptos and I haven't been disabled, this was before trying to get verified, I never tried to deposit after that.

[Xandrah]

Never withdrawn in anything but BTC. Seems ok in trading that way.

they've indeed answered quite quickly ... but only by +- posting a link to a FAQ ... still not verified

No, I deposited alts, not USD. And, again, it was a smaller amount than I have deposited many times in the past. As soon as I did, my account went from the classic 1337 BTC Legacy limit (which really just means 1 BTC) to 0.025, and as soon as I actually tried to withdraw 0.025 (again in alts), it immediately went to 0.

Good decision, I'm surprised that people still want to trade there after all this, do they not know or do they just not care? Everyone else, keep spamming their twitter. https://twitter.com/BittrexExchange

Bittrex is doing a good job hidding the news, probably they're paying the news media to don't publish any bad new about Bittrex.

It does kind of look that way, they haven't made any statement anywhere about their problems and they seem to ban people on different channels that complain about it. There are only a few sites that did publish the news against bittrex.

[gembitz]

FLO has been being held down by price suppression by bittrex imho watch FLO will pop back up now weeee

[mymenace]

your more likely to get free weed than the outcome your looking for, if you can get verified and enable 2fa i recommend to do it, other wise...

[mymenace]

you all get verified
