Is CoinSpot safe? Licences, account freezes and incidents

CoinSpot review: the documents
This is a review of the documents CoinSpot publishes and of the registers that should list it, not a test of the platform: no account was funded and no withdrawal was run. The binding terms name Casey Block Services Pty Ltd as the company you contract with, in Australia (Australian Private Company, main business location VIC 3181). The record quotes 6 clauses across 4 topics, read 2026-10-09, from 5 sources. The one licence CoinSpot claims was not found in an issuing authority's own register. 1 further licence it claims was not confirmed in any register. Its proof-of-reserves page could not be loaded, so that field is no data. The terms carry no clause on what happens to customer assets if the company fails. Its terms restrict unlawful or unlicensed gambling only. 4 points could not be verified and are listed below.
Is my crypto safe on CoinSpot?
CoinSpot is a custodial exchange: coins on the account are held by the exchange, not by a key you control. What protects them is what the binding terms say about holding customer assets and about the company failing. One clause on holding customer assets is quoted below.
CoinSpot may hold your funds, assets or Coins on different exchange platforms.coinspot.com.au
Insolvency or bankruptcy language: Not disclosedThe binding terms read contain no clause on what happens to customer assets if the company becomes insolvent. A reader is left to infer their position as a creditor from a document that does not state it.
Can CoinSpot freeze my account?
Yes, by its terms. The 3 clauses are quoted as written. Grounds named in the text: a suspected breach of the terms or the law.
CoinSpot may suspend, limit, restrict, deactivate or terminate your access to CoinSpot’s Platform and Services, including your CoinSpot account, if:coinspot.com.au

Sending funds to a casino is a named trigger in a clause that restricts unlawful gambling:

Has CoinSpot been hacked or fined?
No hack, fine or regulator action was found for CoinSpot from primary sources in this collection: no company disclosure, no court filing and no regulator notice. That is not proof that none happened. It is the absence of a search result, and a press report is not recorded here until a primary source confirms it.
CoinSpot support and scams
The official domain in the record is coinspot.com.au. Type it yourself rather than following a link from an ad, a search result or a message, and reach support only from inside the account you signed in to there.
Real support never asks for a seed phrase or for remote access to your device. An exchange account is opened with a login, not a recovery phrase, so a request for one is a request for a wallet you hold elsewhere. A request to install a screen-sharing or remote-desktop app hands the caller your signed-in session. Either one ends the conversation.
If money has already gone, the next message offering to get it back is the commonest second loss. The FBI, the FTC, the CFTC and the UK FCA have each published warnings about it, quoted on crypto scam recovery: what is real.
What we could not verify
The gaps in this record, as the record states them. A point listed here was looked for and not confirmed; it is neither a finding for CoinSpot nor against it.
- The AUSTRAC digital currency exchange registration CoinSpot claims. The AUSTRAC register requires a login, and the AUSTRAC guidance page is disallowed by robots.txt.
- Any proof of reserves. No page was retrieved.
- The networks CoinSpot supports for USDT withdrawals. No network list was read.
- Incidents. A search restricted to asic.gov.au, austrac.gov.au, fedcourt.gov.au and coinspot.com.au returned no regulator action, court filing or company post-mortem concerning CoinSpot. That is not a finding that none exists.
