In the process of using the platform account, if some functions of the account are limited or assets are frozen, please refer to the following situations.

Type 1: Risk Control Restriction

Platform restrictions - The scenarios that trigger the platform risk control rules are as follows

If you modify the security settings in the security center, the 24-hour withdrawal limit will be triggered to protect assets in the account. After 24 hours, the system will automatically remove the withdrawal restriction. It is recommended that you wait patiently in this situation.

Logging in on a new device will also limit withdrawals for 24 hours.

The platform will count the number of times you cancel the order. If you cancel the upper limit on the day, the system will limit your coin buying function. The time limit varies from 15 minutes to 24 hours, and it will be cleared at 00:00 am the next day.

When the user triggers the anti-money laundering risk control system, some functions will be restricted. In this situation, please keep the phone open, and the audit specialist will contact you as soon as possible, and send the audit content to the mailbox bound to your account. Please pay attention to the account bound mailbox as soon as possible, and provide audit materials according to the content of the email, when the review is completed and it is verified that there is no risk, your account will be unfrozen soon. The review cycle is about 1-3 working days.

Regarding order disputes, some functions will be temporarily restricted by the system when the account benefits unexpectedly from overpayment by the counterparty of the OTC transaction or the misplacement of the currency by the counterparty. You can negotiate with the other party to deal with it or contact customer service. After completing the dispute settlement, you can restore the account function.

Type 2: Judicial Restriction
