They Sized My Payment

I have made a $15 CAD payment to a vendor using their Coingate gateway. They decided to just freeze my crypto after they received it and forced me to fill out a refund form with a KYC, which only accepts passports as IDs

They keep refusing to give my money back, even to the original address, because of Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Counter-Terrorism Financing (CTF), and Sanctions Regulations.

Hello,

We understand how frustrating this situation must feel.

In some cases, transactions are temporarily restricted due to AML, CTF, or sanctions-related requirements. As a regulated payment provider, we are legally obligated to perform additional checks when certain risk indicators are triggered. This may require identity verification before funds can be refunded.

These measures are not applied arbitrarily, and we cannot bypass them, including returning funds to the original address, until the required review is completed.

Kind regards,
CoinGate team

SCAM

This company employs only AI agents. Support messages are not being answered. They require a ton of documents for verification, and when all the documents are submitted, they don't verify them. My company has not been able to pass verification for a month, although we have already provided them with almost a DNA test.

Avoid working with them

Lost funds!

I have lost funds but this is not CoinGates fault. However they cannot seem to provide any update or information... seems an odd supplier relationship.

Funds have been flagged due to not using an exchanges that require KYC verification.

We’re genuinely sorry to see this review and, to be honest, quite hurt by the accusation — especially given that you are a returning customer with many completed orders with us.

To clarify for anyone reading: we are a legitimate gift card business, and this specific order was not declined or ignored. We have requested additional information from you via your existing support ticket. Until we receive that information, we’re unable to complete delivery.

The support ticket was created only a couple of hours before this review was posted, and unfortunately, it was during the middle of the night for our team. We had no opportunity to respond before this review appeared.

We have never failed to deliver on your previous orders, and we remain fully committed to resolving this one as soon as the requested details are provided. Calling us “scammers” before allowing time for a response does not reflect the long-standing, positive business relationship we’ve had so far.

Please reply to the open support ticket, and we’ll be happy to complete your order as quickly as possible.

I had a very positive experience with…

I had a very positive experience with CoinGate, especially thanks to their customer support representative Jurgita.

My case involved a refund, and everything related to the refund process was handled clearly, professionally, and without unnecessary delays. Jurgita was polite, responsive, and genuinely helpful throughout the entire process. Communication was transparent, and I always understood what was happening and what to expect next.

The refund itself was completed successfully, and from a payment and refund perspective, everything worked exactly as it should. For this part of the service, I have no complaints at all — it was excellent.

Overall, CoinGate’s support in handling financial and payment-related issues left a very good impression. Special thanks to Jurgita for her professionalism and calm, customer-oriented approach.

I appreciate the help and would confidently use CoinGate again for payment processing.

We’re sorry to read this and would like to clarify that CoinGate does not withhold or misapply payments.

Based on the reference provided, the information shared publicly does not appear to align with the described issue, and completed orders are visible in our system.

As we cannot review or discuss transaction details in a public forum, we kindly ask you to contact our support team directly with the order reference or transaction hash. Our team will be able to review the case and provide a clear explanation.

Received the giveaway prize

I had won the giveaway of Bitcoin Maximalist Board game, the game got promptly shipped and delivered from Latvia within 2 weeks.
Coingate team had followed up with me to update on the status of the shipment every week.

I had purchased a few giftcards in the past, one of them being a custom $80 VISA global giftcard in the past 6 month, it worked with no issues.
I can happily recommend coingate for giftcards purchases.

Hello,

We’re sorry to hear about your experience. CoinGate does not remove customer funds arbitrarily, and account-related actions are always performed in line with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

If a verification document is not accepted, it means it did not meet the required criteria at the time of review. In such cases, further steps or clarification may be needed before an account can be fully reviewed.

As we can’t discuss individual account details publicly, we kindly ask you to contact our support team directly through an official ticket so we can look into your case and provide guidance on possible next steps.

Kind regards,
CoinGate Team

Scam – Paid in Full but No Gift Card

I tried to buy a gift card on CoinGate and paid the full amount using cryptocurrency. After completing the payment, they did not deliver the gift card. Instead, they claimed the amount was insufficient and asked me to pay more, even though I had already paid everything required. This is unacceptable and feels like a scam. Be careful – do not give them your money.

They are scammers

hello
They are not responsive at all
I have been asking for a refund for a long time. They don't even correct my answer and try not to refund the money. While there are all the evidences showing the payment and transaction.
They said the source of currency must be known! It's funny because for over a year, I have paid many times on the same website through the same wallet, but never once did such a problem occur.
I am making a formal complaint through a lawyer.
They are scammers

Hello,

We’re sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating this situation can feel.

CoinGate operates as a regulated payment service provider and is required to follow strict legal and compliance obligations. In some cases, payments or refund requests cannot be completed due to regulatory requirements, even if previous transactions were successful. These checks are applied based on current circumstances and applicable regulations, not past activity.

We want to assure you that CoinGate does not withhold funds arbitrarily. When restrictions apply, they are the result of mandatory compliance rules that we are legally obliged to follow.

If you have an open support ticket, we encourage you to continue communication with our support team directly so your case can be reviewed within the limits of what we are permitted to disclose.

Kind regards,
CoinGate Team

I ordered a visa gift card for 33.70 but I have never received anything but ads from them. I tried to contact customer support to no available.
Now you're saying it is my fault since I never got anything resembling an order number in my email, first thing I got is ads from you. The chatbot AI is a joke.
Update. Finally got my card after some hassle, it says invalid card but now I have to deal with Rewarble.

We take feedback seriously, but we also need to correct several inaccuracies in this review.

First, the payment was not completed within the required time window. Because of that delay, the invoice expired automatically. This is a standard safeguard used by payment processors and is outside of our direct control. When this happens, payments must be manually reviewed by the payment processor, which does not operate on weekends—neither do we. We prioritise giving our staff real days off, which can occasionally result in delays.

Second, we are not the payment processor and do not receive or manage blockchain transactions directly. A transaction hash or wallet address alone is not sufficient for us to locate an order. This is why every customer is issued an order number, which is required for support to assist efficiently. Despite multiple interactions, no order number or usable identifying information was provided.

Regarding customer support, the AI chat agent exists to collect relevant order details so issues can either be resolved instantly or escalated to a human agent. This system works—when actual order information is provided. Without it, resolution will naturally take longer.

To be clear:

No funds were “stolen”

No order was fulfilled because the payment was delayed and the invoice expired

The lack of resolution stems from missing order information, not a lack of support

We categorically reject accusations of fraud or theft. We are a legitimate business with transparent processes, and we are always willing to help customers who provide the necessary details.

We remain available—with an order number—through our official support channels.

Facts matter.

Good n bad both

I am in a bind if i like these guys or hate them. Like when they have a gift card available on them they are like one of best gift card providers 10/10. But if there is some error like card not available or some scenario they take ages to transfer your money back and support staff is like they don't even care about anything no response or whatever

Hi,

I am sorry you are not having a good time with our services. Please let me provide some insights.

Our payment processor does not work on weekends (nice!), so any order made through them that is not paid in time or is subject to manual checks will end up taking longer.

Also, our team do not work 24/7, we love our staff and allow them to have days off on the weekends, so support tickets can take longer to receive a reply, (but I see with yours it was less than 24 hours)

Your case has been passed to our payment department, and they will process your refund ASAP

Happy Holidays
