How to Deal with Wrong Crypto-Asset or Wrong Blockchain Deposits?
[Estimated Reading Time: 5 minutes]
This guide helps you recover funds mistakenly deposited to the wrong crypto-asset or blockchain network on your Bitget EU account. Mistakes happen, but Bitget EU has a structured recovery process to assist you. Follow the steps below to recover your funds and prevent future errors.
Understanding uncredited deposits
An uncredited deposit occurs when your crypto-asset transfer is successfully sent from the withdrawal platform but does not arrive in your Bitget EU account. This can happen for several reasons, including:
-
Depositing an unsupported crypto-asset.
-
Using an unsupported blockchain network.
-
Entering an incorrect or missing Memo/Tag.
-
Other unexpected issues during the deposit process.
Not all uncredited deposits can be recovered. Recovery depends on the reason for the failed deposit and whether the assets can be recovered technically.
How to recover an uncredited deposit
Step 1: Verify your deposit status
Before submitting a recovery request, confirm that your withdrawal has been completed on the sending platform.
If your transaction is still processing or has failed, Bitget EU has not received the funds and cannot assist with the recovery.
Step 2: Prepare your transaction information
To help us review your request, prepare the following information where applicable:
-
Crypto-asset
-
Deposit network

Transaction hash (TxID)
-
Token contract address (if applicable)
-
Original withdrawal address
-
Any additional supporting information or screenshots
Step 3: Submit a recovery request
Submit a recovery request through the Bitget EU Deposit Recovery Form.
Depending on the reason you selected, you will be directed to one of the following recovery forms.
Scenario 1: The Crypto or the Network Is Not Supported by Bitget EU
