They locked my account for "security reasons" without telling me why. Had to send a million documents. Took 4 days to unlock. Super annoying but at least they eventually fixed it.

GATE stole all my money through blatant manipulation in LA futures trading, and they have no intention of giving it back.
Despite the clear evidence of foul play on their part, they chose to simply abandon everyone who suffered from this.
This isn't just a mistake — it's a betrayal. GATE has shown its true colors: a dishonest and untrustworthy exchange that turns its back on its users when they need it most.

We truly understand your concerns and appreciate your honest feedback. Regarding the recent price volatility, we’re genuinely sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.
Due to a significant deviation in the mark price of the LAUSDT perpetual futures from the actual market price, Gate took emergency measures to protect user interests.
1. Suspended and delisted the LAUSDT perpetual futures to maintain market stability.
2. Closed all open futures positions at market price to protect users from further impact.
3. Any negative balance from the liquidation will be fully covered by the platform —users will not bear any negative balance.
Attached is the announcement link for your reference: https://gate.com/announcements/article/45399
Please rest assured, user asset security and trust remain our top priority. While we understand this decision may cause concern, it was made to uphold a fair and secure trading environment for all.
We appreciate your continued support and are here for any further questions or assistance you may reach out to us at @Gate_io via DM. Thank you for your understanding.
Title:
Title:
I lost $37,379 due to REEF delisting on Gate.io without any notification!
Review:
I am extremely disappointed with Gate.io. I had an open futures position in the REEF token, and it was suddenly delisted without any prior notification. I did not receive any emails, push notifications in the Gate app, SMS, or any other form of warning from the platform.
As a result, my futures position was liquidated, and I suffered a major financial loss of $37,379.
This is completely unacceptable for a trading platform that claims to be secure and user-friendly. Users must be properly informed in advance of any delisting decisions, especially when dealing with leveraged positions that can be force-closed.
Gate.io’s failure to notify me directly resulted in this loss, and so far, I have received no compensation or even a serious response from their support.
I strongly urge others to be extremely cautious when using this platform. I also request Gate.io to review my case seriously and take responsibility for the lack of communication that led to this significant damage.
Thank you for your response. However, I must strongly object to your claim that proper notice was given regarding the delisting of REEF futures.
As a responsible trader, I routinely monitor my email, in-app notifications, and account alerts. Yet I received no email, no SMS, and no pop-up or in-terminal warning regarding this delisting — which ultimately led to the complete liquidation of my position without a chance to react.
Simply posting a notice somewhere on your website without ensuring that affected users are individually notified does not constitute proper and fair communication — especially for something as serious as delisting a futures instrument with leverage exposure.
I kindly request that you provide:
• The exact date and direct link to the notice you claim was published.
• An explanation of why no user-specific alert was issued to my account despite having an active open position on REEF futures.
I suffered a loss of $37,379 USD due to this delisting and lack of communication. If no satisfactory resolution is offered, I will escalate this matter further to relevant financial regulatory authorities (such as CIMA or FCIS), as well as continue publicizing this case to protect other users from similar experiences.
Yours sincerely,
Andrii Kornienko

We are sincerely sorry for an inconvenience caused by this issue! In the mean time, Please understand that investing on any trading platform may involve risks. And we understand your concern regarding tokens that are unavailable on the exchanges.
Please note that we do not delist any cryptocurrency lightly. A token will only be delisted if it is requested by the project team or if, after a thorough evaluation, it no longer meets our listing standards. If you have any concerns or need help, please feel free to contact us at X(Twitter) account. We appreciate your understanding and continued support!
The app is now misbehaving
The app is now misbehaving. Whenever I try to input sms and Gmail codes, it will close and reopen. They should fix it up. Also in the spot trading, when I try to buy a coin, it will take too long after the market starts fluctuating downwards and yet the order still remains pending. Aside that, the app to me has not withheld my withdrawal.

We completely understand your frustration and apologize for any inconvenience this situation may have caused.
Due to suspected hacking activity involving PLA token, we have suspended PLA deposit, withdrawal and trading services at request of project team. This measure was taken to protect user assets and maintain platform security.
While we do not have exact timeframe for resolution as of this response, please rest assured that Gate.io is in active communication with PLA project team to assess current status and determine appropriate next steps. We are committed to ensuring security of user assets and will resume services for PLA as soon as we confirm there are no risks involved.
For timeline on this issue, kindly refer to: https://www.gate.io/announcements/article/34560. Any further developments will be published on announcement page: https://www.gate.io/announcements. Additionally, we recommend setting reminder on withdrawal page for this token so that you will be notified once it is available again: https://www.gate.io/myaccount/withdraw/PLA.

Getting the feedback they truly deserve
Lol, I had to laugh when I saw only one star reviews when I looked them up.
They're complete crooks. Or at least the people who configured the site's settings. Everytime I tried to send my crypto to a valid address and on the correct network, I never had time to verify myself by at least two methods before it timed out. I have absolutely no doubt that it was designed like that.
And the last time I tried to login, I was told I would have to go through the whole KYC process again. WTF?

Hello, and we sincerely apologize for the experience you've had on our platform. We truly appreciate your feedback, and we are committed to improving our service.
To address your concern regarding withdrawals, in order to protect user accounts and assets, certain verification steps are required as part of our security measures. However, to make future withdrawals more seamless, we highly recommend enabling Whitelist Withdrawal Addresses. Once you’ve added trusted addresses to your address book, you can bypass the usual verification steps — including SMS codes, email codes, and fund password confirmation. You can find detailed instructions on how to set this up here: [https://www.gate.io/help/guide/deposit_withdrawa/22597/how-to-whitelist-withdrawal-addresses-on-web]
Please ensure that any address you whitelist is fully secure, as withdrawals to these addresses will not require additional verification.
Regarding the KYC rejection, we kindly ask that you provide your account UID so that we can investigate the issue further and assist you more effectively.
Thank you for choosing our platform. We greatly appreciate your continued trust and patience as we work to provide you with the best possible experience.

Theft of usdt in gate.io
#1513242. gate.io allowed a hacker to change my email address and withdraw 2053$ without notifying me of change of email. They have not explained to me how the hacker deleted my KYC verified account & quickly transfered the funds. I suspect it may be an inside job & they are trying to cover up. They did not wait the 48 hours that exchanges usually wait after a change in email is requested. I expect them to take responsibility and refund my list funds

Once again, gate.io mess up. Ticket #1512055
2nd time having to deal an issue with gate. First one made me lose around 2500 USD that time.
Withdrawal made on 25.03.2025. Few minutes later they said blockchain confirmed with a txid.
Nothing received in my wallet. When checking , there s no information in the blockchain explorer about the txid they send . I contacted the live support and spent a lot of time explaining to finally being forced to open a ticket.
The 2 1st replies I get from my ticket is that it s blockchain confirmed on their side so they already sent the token. And they immediatly closed my ticket after the 2nd answer. But how the hell can you say it is blockchain confirmed when there s absolutely no data of the txid in the blockchain and then forcing the ticket to be closed.
Until now, no update.
Gate has the most poor customer support among every single exchange Im using. I do not recommend.
10 days later, gate closed my ticket again. They said that the blockchain of the token has issues. But guess what? they keep the withdrawal of that token open ans let everyone that made withdrawal lose their money
Definitely the worst of the worst support among every single exchange.
Others exchanges help you when you have issues even it s your own mistake. gate does not help you even if its their mistakes.
