What to Do If Your Deposit Has Not Been Credited

Transferring funds from an external platform to Bitget involves three steps:

Withdrawing assets from the external platform
An asset withdrawal marked as “completed” or “success” on the platform you’re withdrawing your crypto from means the transaction was successfully broadcast to the blockchain network. It does not mean it has been credited to the platform you’re depositing to.
Confirmation by the blockchain network
During the confirmation process, the blockchain network may experience congestion due to a high volume of transfers, resulting in delays for deposit confirmations.
Bitget credits the funds to your account
After confirming the transfer, cryptos will be credited as soon as possible. You can track the transfer progress using the TXID.

Different blockchains require varying numbers of “network confirmations.” Each transfer within the blockchain takes a certain amount of time to confirm and send to the receiving platform.

For instance:

  • Bitcoin transactions are deposited into your corresponding account after reaching one network confirmation.
  • All of your assets are temporarily frozen until the underlying deposit transaction reaches two network confirmations.

If your deposit has not been credited, follow these steps:

  • If the transaction is unconfirmed by the blockchain network and has not reached the minimum number of network confirmations specified by Bitget, please wait patiently. Bitget can only credit your account after the required confirmations are met.
  • If the transaction is unconfirmed by the blockchain network but has reached the minimum number of network confirmations specified by Bitget, contact our Support team and provide your UID, deposit address, deposit screenshot, successful withdrawal screenshot from other platforms, and TXID to support@bitget.com for assistance.
  • If the transaction is confirmed by the blockchain but not credited to your account, contact our customer support or send your UID, deposit address, deposit screenshot, successful withdrawal screenshot from other platforms, and TXID to support@bitget.com for timely assistance.
