Very useful service, always works. The only reason i give them four stars is like said in other reviews, paying them for a priority/quick transfer makes no sense. They just do it the next day any... See more

I've been a customer of Bitonic for years, and I've never found a site selling Bitcoin with such competitive prices. There are very few transaction fees. On top of that, the customer service is fast and friendly. I would never buy my Bitcoin anywhere else.

Total scam nowadays

Pure scam company nowadays. Bitonic used to be a great exchange service where you could buy and sell and withdraw Bitcoin instantly but since 2026 has become a total nightmare. The last few times I tried to buy and withdraw funds here as it is the only Dutch company of its kind it inexplicably took up to 4-5 full days and when contacted the customer service gave some nonsense about having to check the transaction due to "regulations" which was a lie as I've been a verified user there for over 10 years now and my transactions were neither unusual or even large by any stretch of the imagination.

It would not surprise me in the least if they are now simply gambling with customer funds while they leave those customers in limbo without any explanation whatsoever, or just like to wait for better prices to execute after the user has submitted their buy or sell order while the order itself remains "pending review".

This makes the entire site and service entirely unusable as it is customary and expected of Bitcoin exchanges to transact near-instantaneously where "blocktime" should be the bulk of the processing time, and not imaginary "manual review to comply with regulation". I have had instances at other exchanges where it took an hour or even more, but never days like Bitonic takes now.

My experiences tell me to avoid Bitonic at all costs and take my transactions elsewhere and I'd advise anyone to do the same. It's no exaggeration to say their screwups have cost me everything in lost opportunity cost and they have never, not once, given ANY indication on their website that they'd be taking full days to process simple transactions, or might as well have been on holiday in Ibiza or the Bahamas for all I know. They absolutely do not care for their customers or their business in the slightest. Caveat emptor.

Thank you for your feedback!

We're sorry to hear that you consider our services to have changed for the worse.

I do hope you understand that Bitonic has absolutely no gain (financial or otherwise) by bullying our customers with needless KYC questions. In fact, costumers leaving for overseas competitors who may ask less questions, is actively hurting our business. Regardless, we choose to adhere to the regulations in the Netherlands, while trying to maintain our customer service as best as we can.

We urge everyone selling/buying with legally acquired funds to keep a solid record of their administration, as this helps with transactions going through more smoothly. This is not just for Bitonic, but any company who has to adhere to similar regulations. If we can help you with setting up a solid administration for your transactions so that KYC checks will pass smoothly, do not hesitate to contact us!

Kind regards,

Bitonic B.V.

What a very extraordinary good service

What a very, very great support department this company has!! In 2027 I bought here bitcoins in 2023 I transfer it to Coinbase. December 2025 Coinbase updated the app (Base app) to a more "chat like" app. With that my bitcoins were gone. They couldn't help me. After restoring the app and using the restore phrase still no bitcoins. So there was nothing Coiunbase could do for me. It was Marc from Bitonic that had the patience and even helpt me on the Coinbase app! He found a remark that the bitcoins are only visual in an older version of the Base app. And now the bitcoins are back (and safe at Bitonic!!!)

Scam!, promise money and never prove it.

This company has made nothing but promises to pay, but they never do. I have lost thousands of dollars. Now the associate I have been dealing with is currently in the hospital. I understand that. But to suddenly go silent when today was the actual day I was due to be paid out. I am extremely frustrated. This money was my future and it was to help me heal from a stroke.

Hi! Thanks for leaving a review.

It seems like this review may be meant for another company. We have no employees who are currently hospitalized. If someone is using our company name in vain, please send us their handle/details via contact@bitonic.nl so that we can report them.

Kind regards,

I used 2 phones to buy crypto and lost it all.

What happens is, i copy my wallets address (which is one my first phone) and send it to my second phone, on my second phone i copy it, i paste it into the "buy bitcoin" form. I double check to see if its my address and it is. I press on buy and it says "we have sent your bitcoins" on a mail. i check the mail and what do i see, the system sent it to the wrong address.

I have tried contacting multiple times and got no luck. I dont know who's wallet it got sent to because my phone cannot just put a random address on it.

What a hassle...

They took my bitcoin and then refused to pay me because some of it was originally bought by my mother. They want a death certificate and a document of inheritance. I wouldn't mind the request for documents if they hadn't demanded them after they took my bitcoin.
But they had to follow (extreme) Dutch anti-money-laundering rules. However, their lack of information up front, or when they refused to pay me, was woeful. But they responded well to my queries and I eventually got my money.

We would like to thank you sincerely for your feedback. In addition your effort to revisit and change your rating to what you've deemed appropriate based on your experience is greatly appreciated.

We are sorry to hear that you felt ill informed about the KYC process, which we agree can be challenging for both sides. We will do our best to be more up front in the future and will always offer refunds during KYC processes in order to not take any funds "hostage", so to speak.

Should you have any questions or suggestions on how to further improve our service in the future, you are always welcome to contact us via contact@bitonic.nl

We thank you again for taking the time to write and adjust fair and useful feedback.

Kind regards,

Useless

When I moved from the Netherlands to Bulgaria and tried to sell my BTC, they never informed me that Bulgaria is on some "risky" list. Instead they wasted my time! I had several emails and calls with them only to hear that everything is fine but my transactions were every time declined after 12+ hours of waiting. This took 2 weeks! the BTC went down 7k! They cost me money!

We've very sorry to hear that you are unsatisfied with our service.

We would like to apologize sincerely, should you have been informed wrongly about being able to use Bitonic's services: Unfortunately Bulgary was added to the FATF Grey list, causing us to maintain a policy that states we can't provide service to those residing in Bulgaria.

The grey list addition was an action performed by the FATF themselves, and Bitonic has no influence on this decision.

We are very sorry that you should be negatively affected by this!

Kind regards,

3 weeks to get verification...Still not there

Manual verification is taking forever, I have contacted them three times over the course of three weeks to ask for verification. Each time they respond with "It should be done tomorrow or the day after", it's been three weeks, yet they keep lying to my face.
If they are willing to lie to people like this, you should not trust them with your money.
