I have been using Binance for years. I was able to do withdrawals until 10 days ago without any issues.
Today I deposited 0.17 ETH to my Binance account. When I tried to withdraw that into another wallet, it said I’d first have to pay them 0.65 ETH because my account is in arrears.
When looked into, it turns out this is what happened:
10 months ago (January 2021) I requested a deposit to a gambling website for 0.65 ETH (700 USD at the time). They created the request and sent me the wallet address
I made a 0.65 ETH withdrawal to a gambling website’s wallet
Binance sent this withdrawal twice to the gambling website’s wallet. The gambling website didn’t inform me of this and they only deposited 0.65 ETH to my account so I wasn’t aware of this double withdrawal
Binance didn’t tell me anything about this for 10 months up until today (November 2021)
Binance is now saying I cannot withdraw my funds until I refund them 0.65 ETH (worth 2800 USD right now)
The gambling website isn’t active any more so I cannot claim back from them either.
So as it stands, Binance have made a mistake and sent a withdrawal twice. They noticed this only after 10 months and they’re now asking me to pay them 2800 USD worth of ETH for a 700 USD worth of ETH transaction from 10 months ago – and they’re not letting me withdraw the 0.17 ETH I have in my Binance account.
Then only an hour after the deposit, since they’re not letting me withdraw it I asked for a refund of the 0.17 ETH I deposited today. They’re not accepting that either and they’re just saying I can’t withdraw anything until I pay them 0.65 ETH
