My experience with Gemini has been outrageously frustrating and unacceptable.
Despite submitting multiple formal requests to delete my account under Article 17 GDPR, and formally objecting to any further processing of my personal data under Article 21 GDPR, Gemini continues to refuse to comply. I have even explicitly and irrevocably waived any claim to any remaining account balance simply to ensure the account is closed and my data erased yet they still refuse to act.
Instead of providing a clear legal justification for their refusal, I receive nothing but generic, evasive, and seemingly automated responses.

The replies do not address the substance of my requests and appear designed to stall, deflect responsibility, and exhaust the customer.
This behavior demonstrates a blatant disregard for fundamental data protection rights under EU law.

The right to erasure is not optional, and it is not subject to arbitrary corporate delay tactics. The GDPR exists precisely to prevent this kind of conduct.
For a company operating in the financial and cryptocurrency sector where trust, compliance, and transparency should be non-negotiable this level of opacity and resistance to a lawful erasure request is deeply alarming.
I strongly caution other users to be aware of how their personal data may be handled when attempting to close an account or exercise their privacy rights.
An extremely disappointing and concerning experience from a data protection standpoint. Furthermore, it has already happened that they said they had been hacked and customer data (including mine) ended up on the dark web.

I submitted a withdrawal request that stayed stuck in "processing" for weeks with no clear reason.
Edenbury Legal reviewed my case in detail and escalated the issue directly with the platform.
Before that, my emails were either ignored or answered with generic, scripted replies.
Live chat agents kept saying the delay was due to compliance checks but never explained what was missing.
I was repeatedly asked to verify the same documents, which only reset the waiting period.
After Edenbury Legal stepped in, the platform finally released my funds.

Stay away from this scam exchange if you don't want to lose your crypto. Gemini is not a safe place to store or trade your coin. Either you buy and the coin doesn't arrive in your wallet, or you transfer and the coin doesn't arrive in the destination wallet address, or you store your coin on their site and suddenly all your coins disappear without a trace, or they freeze your account for no reason and deny you access to your funds. You will only get one problem after another on this exchange. I know many people who have lost their coin here on this exchange and I have been a victim too...
UPDATE:
Luckily, I recently managed to get my money back from them with the help of a professional recovery agency that specializes in helping victims get their money back from fraudulent companies. By sheer luck, I avoided the worst of this terrible ordeal. If you've also been scammed and need help, reach out to me directly via email (available on my profile), and I'll share more details about the steps I took to successfully recover my funds from Gemini. Don't let them scam you too!

I matched with a Chinese girl on Tinder who seemed perfect, kind, smart, and attentive. She introduced me to her uncle's "crypto startup" and urged me to invest. The platform looked real, and my balance kept growing. But when I tried to cash out, everything disappeared. The money, the website, but fortunately for me, Mr Richmond restored my funds Whatsaqq: *{ 4473}_7-82_70_609

Not trustworthy
July 19, 2025

This one still stings. I signed up for what I thought was a new, legitimate crypto exchange. It was marketed as having lower fees, faster withdrawals, and "priority verification" for early adopters. They even ran paid ads and were featured in a few online articles — which I now know were fake PR placements. After depositing funds — about $8,700 — I tried to withdraw once I saw "profits" from their internal staking tools. It told me the network was overloaded and to wait 72 hours. Then, I got locked out. When I contacted support, they said I needed to verify by depositing more. That was it — the scam was confirmed. I tried tracking the wallet, but I was out of my depth. Luckily, I found a mention of a recovery team on Reddit. Someone said they used urfa(.)io and got results. I visited the site — plain, no salesy nonsense, which was honestly reassuring. I submitted everything I had — transaction IDs, emails, screenshots. They reviewed it quickly and explained the tracing process. I appreciated that they didn't make promises — just results based on effort. A few weeks later, I was notified they had managed to recover a good portion of the stolen USDT by working with an exchange that had flagged the receiving wallet. I never thought I'd see that money again. These guys saved me.

Scammers!
June 14, 2025

Scams can hit anyone, even those of us who think we're too careful. I was no exception. After being convinced to invest my pension, I was blindsided by silence and empty promises. Reporting to the authorities led me to a recovery platform — let's call it U-r-f-a [dot] io — that came through when no one else did. If you're reading this, don't wait until it's too late. Protect yourself and know where to turn if the worst happens.

Cette entreprise a un service client horrible. J'ai soumis ma candidature et mes documents il y a plus de 6 mois. J'ai envoyé quelques e-mails de suivi. Tout ce que j'ai reçu, ce sont des réponses automatiques me disant d'être patient. Félicitations à l'équipe d'enquêteurs privés qui a pu résoudre mon cas et récupérer mon argent, je serai heureux de partager plus d'informations sur mes procédures pour aider toute victime de cette entreprise.

SCAM ALERT
February 25, 2025

Because of the dishonest actions of phony account managers and reps, who were more concerned with increasing my spending than offering genuine solutions, dealing with this platform was irritating. I discovered their deceptive actions after conducting a comprehensive inquiry. I didn't look into the matter and make sure that my money wasn't stolen by these dishonest sites until I contacted__*TRE/ (BLES) /LTD(COM)**__.

I was defrauded
February 25, 2025

Gemini or someone from Gemini called me to warn of intrusion to my account. I am a senior citizen and they ended up clipping all of my xrp and more. This was done by someone knowing I had crypto there. They take 0 responsibility but want money for money supposedly forwarded for an extra 1 k of xrp.

BEWARE OF SCAMMERS

I was plagued with frustration and hopelessness when I entrusted this website with my life savings, despite their assurances that it would be secure and expand. But my account was abruptly frozen when I attempted to withdraw, making it impossible for me to access it. Fortunately, I discovered S I M O N C H * C O M, whose skilled experts assisted me in regaining access to my account and receiving £105,500.

Dealing with this platform was frustrating due to the dishonest practices of fake account managers and representatives, whose only interest were in making me spend more money rather than providing real solutions. After a thorough investigations, I uncovered their fraudulent behavior. It wasn't until I reached out to__MONEIORECLAIM.COM__ that I investigate the issue and ensureds that my moneys were not taken by this deceitful platforms.

It is realy bad(
December 18, 2023

This broker, Gemini, is a complete scam. Despite successful transactions, attempting to withdraw funds results in excruciating delays. Customer service is unresponsive, and my money seems to be held hostage. Hopes for care have long faded, leaving a feeling of disappointment and helplessness. Beware of this company; they can't be trusted. Avoid at all costs unless you want your money tied up indefinitely. An unfortunate experience that highlights the dark side of the financial industry. My friend recommended me to the company support (at)fast-recovery(.)io, which withdraws funds from frozen accounts. I still don't believe it, but I was able to get my money back. Thank you!

Don't trust Gemini! I tried to send crypto but they put a security hold on my account. I jumped through every hoop and sent proof that this is my account multiple times like they requested and they still won't release the hold on MY money! Don't let Gemini steal your money too!

To be honest, I've been through the worst time of my life and am just lucky to have been introduced to the professionals who have helped me.

Absolutely the worst bitcoin platform I have encountered. I recently opened an account with Gemini, and luckily I wanted to see how my experience with Gemini. Shortly after I could not log in. I received a splash screen saying " your account has been frozen" one week has passed and I've messaged Gemini support, as they do not even have a phone number anywhere, and to date no explanation why my account was frozen and I cannot access my funds. Gemini support refuses to give me a simple explanation as to why is going on. And this week was extremely important in the markets. Now I wonder if I'll even get the money I deposited back. DO NIT GIVE GEMINI YOUR MONEY, may as well just hand it to a stranger you cannot contact.
