I can access the site from my side right now. Maybe it was temporarily out because the domain registration status had expired. As of now, it has been auto-renewed for 1 more year

Domain:
freebitco.in
Registered On: 2013-10-10
Expires On: 2026-10-10
Updated On: 2025-10-11
Status: autoRenewPeriod
Name Servers: dina.ns.cloudflare.com
tom.ns.cloudflare.com

Notice the date it was updated, which is today.

Regardless, without any action to help the users withdraw their funds, the website being online does not matter. In fact, it's a trap to those users who do not know what's going on. I would rather they even put if offline or in maintenance mode until they sort out the other users.

usually i keep 2 to 3 bitcoins on site, but last year i withdraw most balance when bitcoin passed $100k.
i still have small balance, because i trusted this site for years, and i still do trust them.

Now i'm using DonaldCo.in site, it's old paying since 2015, already paid +80 bitcoins with proof to members since 2015, it has many ads, but still good for me.

here are some good alternatives for crypto paying site :

Hello,

I would like to report an issue with withdrawals on Freebitco.in that has not been resolved for several days.

My withdrawals have been stuck in PENDING status since 26 November 2025, and support has not responded beyond the automatic ticket confirmation email.

Details:
User ID: 5084934
Ticket number:  #53305370; Message - 5084934
Instant withdrawal: 0.00670000 BTC – pending since 26 Nov 2025
Instant withdrawal: 0.03000000 BTC – pending since 26 Nov 2025

All of these transactions should normally be processed quickly (especially instant withdrawals), but the status has not changed at all.


I am not accusing Freebitco.in of scamming — I only want them to respond and resolve the withdrawal issue.
However, since many users have reported similar problems recently, I believe it is important to document the case here.


If the issue is resolved and my withdrawals are processed, I will gladly update this post.

Thank you

I am still waiting for my withdrawel since the end of July, nobody is going to get paid i assume

For anyone affected by the pending withdrawals at Freebitco.in:

I’ve already filed a complaint with FinCEN (U.S. Financial Crimes Enforcement Network).
It’s very simple, fully online, takes just a few minutes, and it’s directly under the U.S. Department of the Treasury.
You can submit your report here: https://www.fincen.gov/need_assistance.html#

In my opinion, doing nothing and waiting until the platform disappears with the bitcoins is the worst option.
Filing reports creates an official record and increases pressure — especially when many users report the same issue.

Don’t worry, no one will contact you — they handle it internally.

FreeBitco.in is shutting down

Dear user, after more than 12 years in operation FreeBitco.in has made the difficult decision to shut down because of widespread abuse across the website.

If you are a genuine user, please do not worry - your funds are safe. We are currently in the process of sifting through genuine users and abusers which is taking much longer than expected because of our tens of millions of users.

As a part of this process, the website will be replaced by a shutdown page in the coming weeks and after that we shall start the process of migating genuine users to the new shutdown database where they will be able to login and initiate withdrawals of their balances.

We expect withdrawals to be enabled by early 2026. Unfortunately due to the tedious process of weeding through our large database, this is much longer than we are happy with but we have little choice other than going through each user account manually to seperate genuine users and abusers.

We would like to thank you for being a loyal user of our website and would like to ask for your patience while we work through this process.

Please do not send any funds to your deposit address! Any funds sent after this point might need to be manually credited after the shutdown is complete which might take a while!

I saw the announcement the other day and I sincerely don't understand freebitco.in's end game. From refusing to process people's withdrawals for months and then now promising that they are to make refunds this year.

I think they are trying to stall or trying to avoid legal battles.

I thought this part was kind of weird. Its like, no duh, people have been abusing your website since 2016. You'd think they'd know a thing or two about preventing abuse after 10 years. In the end, I think it became a massively unsustainable operation. Definitely poor management of capital was involved, probably a lot of pilferage over the years, and as a "casino" they don't really hold up to the competition.

In all likelihood those with stuck withdrawals are just being strung along, but you never know. Good luck to everyone who has funds tied up in this mess.

I wasn't even aware they were shutting down.  Had .32 bitcoin earning interest.  Even did the free spin periodically up until the day before the site went down.

Out of all the scam sites out there I never thought they would go this route.  It's always I thought in the back of your head but they didn't seem the type.

Hopefully it will all work out but I really doubt it.  Coin lost I guess.

That seems to be the general consensus and has been for quite a while, the situation is being more closely followed on this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=320959.msg66453600#msg66453600

Ooof... that's over 20 grand.

After all, many didn't see this coming, having being operational for over a decade.

Yeah, what could have been with that coin.

Oh well, easy come easy go.  Luckily I got into Bitcoin a long time ago

Still stings a little.

Just glad I did take the majority of what I had out last year.

What a shame, interest rate paid well.

Will still hold out hope it will eventually give me my bitcoin, LOL!

Sorry about that, bud.

At the end of the day we are reminded that everything has a beginning and an ending. I guess a lot of people were caught unaware because of the lengthy period of time Freebitco.in has been in operation.

When I see attractive interest rates or offers, they always remind me of this quote: "If you don’t know where the yield is coming from, you are the yield."

It's all good. Good advice, good advice indeed.

It's funny, I now look at money a little different because of all this.  I used to just save it and not spend it.  Always put off the big purchase.  Now I'm gonna buy some of those things.  I look out the window and think.  I could have did this, I could have done that.  Instead I horded it all.  Now I'm gonna do those things.

Oddly enough as I type this the site is back up.

So either they're messing with us or they do plan on doing whats right.

Fingers crossed.
