Why is my Deriv account blocked? Causes and solutions

Can't access your Deriv account anymore?

An account may be temporarily blocked or restricted for various reasons. In most cases, there is a solution.

In this guide, discover the most frequent causes of a blockage and the steps to be taken to regain access to your account.

Why can a Deriv account be blocked?

There are several reasons for this, including:

• incomplete personal information;

• a pending identity check;

• documents to be updated;

• unusual activity detected to protect the account;

• failure to comply with the conditions of use of the platform.

The exact reason depends on each situation.

Check your email address

First of all, check the email box associated with your Deriv account.

The platform may have sent you a message explaining the situation or indicating the steps to be taken to restore access.

Don't forget to check your unwanted mail folder as well.

Check your identity

If your account requires verification, make sure that:

• your personal information is accurate;

• the documents transmitted shall be legible;

• the information corresponds to the information recorded in your account.

Incomplete verification may delay certain features.

Check your credentials

Sometimes a simple connection problem is confused with a blockage.

Make sure that:

• your email address is correct;

• your password is well entered;

• you use your account identifiers.

If necessary, use the function Forgot password.

Contact Deriv Support

If the problem persists after these checks, contact Deriv's help desk.

Clearly explain your situation and provide the requested information to facilitate the processing of your case.

How can we avoid blocking in the future?

Some good practices can reduce risks:

• complete your profile as soon as you register;

• providing accurate information;

• use a secure password;

• comply with the conditions of use of the platform;

• keep your contact information up to date.
