Deposit went through instantly — but now withdrawals are locked with no explanation

If you’re using a crypto platform where deposits work instantly but withdrawals are blocked or “under review,” please be careful. I came across this situation and it doesn’t feel right.

I tested a smaller platform by depositing a small amount. Everything worked perfectly at first — the funds showed up immediately in my balance, which gave me some confidence.

But when I tried to withdraw even a small portion, the withdrawal option was either disabled or returning errors.

I checked everything on my side, completed verification, and even tried different amounts — nothing worked.

What makes it worse:

Deposits still work normally No clear withdrawal requirements Support gives generic responses No timeline for fixing the issue “Account under review” with no explanation

It’s been a few days and nothing has changed.

At this point, it feels like one of those setups where getting money in is easy, but getting it out becomes difficult or impossible.

I’m trying to figure out if this is a known scam pattern or just a badly run platform, but it’s definitely a red flag.

If you’re experiencing something similar, don’t ignore it — try withdrawing early before putting in more money.
