I hate to have to start another thread in the Exchanges section, but for reasons I won't bore the community with I recently tried to create an account on Bittrex, which provides service to US customers.

They require KYC, so I uploaded images of the front and back of my driver's license and took a fantastic-looking selfie (lol) that Bittrex apparently thought was acceptable, because immediately afterward I got this message:



So after waiting a few minutes, I got another message (which I neglected to take a screenshot of, unfortunately) saying that my account has been disabled.  Does anyone know what's up with that?  

Being a lazy ass I didn't read their ToS, but I'm going to do that right after finishing this post.  I'm wondering if the state I live in is excluded....?  They didn't say that, though.

Christ, it's tough when you're fond of an obscure altcoin that only trades on a single legitimate exchange--and one that I apparently can't even get access to!  Any help or constructive comments would be appreciated.

Edit:  Ahhhh FUDGE!!!  I did take a look at possible causes for an account being disabled....and it's because of the state I live in.  I'm still interested in hearing from everyone, as when I searched for threads on Bittrex most of them were years old.  How the hell do I find out what my state laws are regarding crypto?

I did take a look at possible causes for an account being disabled....and it's because of the state I live in.

New York and Hawaii residents are prohibited from most platforms -- no surprise there, given their draconian regulations. However, Bittrex also includes a few unusual states on their ban list like Vermont and Connecticut. I'm assuming they don't hold the required money transmitter license in those states.

How the hell do I find out what my state laws are regarding crypto?

This is the best state-by-state legal resource that I've found, last updated 6 months ago: State Regulations on Virtual Currency and Blockchain Technologies

I think you dodged a bullet there. I don't live in a forbidden state and I submitted all valid docs and they still stole my money with the KYC excuse. If you contact the customer service more than a couple of times about their abysmal KYC handling they'll tell you to talk to their lawyers. And guess what, they are hiding behind a shell company in fucking Nevada so good luck with any legal recourse.
