A red error message under the amount field on the payment screen usually means the request broke a rule attached to your account. Most declines and lockouts come from a mismatch between what you entered and what your account currently allows.

Deposits and withdrawals declined by limits

The payment screen returns a decline notice even though your balance and details look fine. The request sits outside what your account can handle at that moment.

• The amount is above or below what your account tier allows for a single transaction.
• Your account still has a lower verification level than the size of the payment requires.
• You reached a cap on how much can move through the account over a period.
• The payment method you picked does not match the one used before.
• Bonus money in the balance carries conditions that block a cashout of the full amount.

1. Note the exact wording of the decline message and keep it for later.
2. Compare the amount you entered with the range your account level permits.
3. Try a smaller amount to see whether the limit is the cause.
4. Check whether bonus funds are mixed into your balance and whether they carry conditions.
5. Switch to a payment method you have already used on the account.
6. Make sure the name on the payment method matches the name on your account.
7. Clear the form and enter the details again by hand rather than pasting them.
8. Complete any identity step the account is missing, then retry.
9. Keep a screenshot of the decline before you change anything else.
10. Wait for any earlier request to finish before starting a new one.
11. Repeat the payment with the corrected amount or method.
12. If it fails again, write down the time and the details you used.
13. Send those details to support so they can see the exact rule that blocked you.

Contact support once a corrected request still fails and you have the decline message and the details ready.

Account locked or login rejected after failed attempts

The form returns you to the same page with a notice that the account is locked or the details are wrong. Repeated wrong entries trigger the lock.

• The password contains a character the field does not accept, or a capital letter is in the wrong place.
• An old password saved in the browser is filled in automatically.
• Too many failed attempts locked the account for a while.
• The email address on the form differs from the one registered.
• A second login step was started but never finished.

1. Stop retrying at once, because each new failure extends the lock.
2. Type the password by hand instead of letting the browser fill it in.
3. Turn on the password reveal option and check every character carefully.
4. Match the email address letter for letter with the one you registered.
5. Clear the saved password for the site in your browser settings.
6. Open the page in a private window to rule out old stored data.
7. Use the password reset link sent to your registered email and set a new password.
8. Finish any second login step that appears after the password is accepted.
9. If the lock notice stays, leave the account alone for a while before trying again.
10. Write down the exact notice text shown on screen.
11. Gather the email address and the last details you used successfully.
12. Try one clean login after the reset and after the lock period has passed.
13. Hand the notice text to support if the lock does not lift.

Contact support when the lock notice persists after a password reset and a wait.

Cashout pending longer than expected

The withdrawal shows as pending while the balance stays unchanged. Many requests wait because a check on the account has not finished.

• Identity verification was never completed, so the request waits in a queue.
• Bonus conditions still apply to part of the money you want to take out.
• An earlier withdrawal is still open, and only one request can run at a time.
• The payout details on file differ from the ones used to deposit.
• A routine review of the account is in progress.

1. Open your request history and note the status of each withdrawal.
2. Finish any identity step that is still marked as missing, since withdrawals sit behind it.
3. Check whether bonus funds are part of the balance and what conditions they carry.
4. Wait for any open request to close before you start another one.
5. Confirm that the payout method matches the one used for your deposits.
6. Fix any difference in the name on the payout details.
7. Keep a screenshot of the pending status with the time shown.
8. Look for a message in your account inbox asking for more information.
9. Reply to that message with what was asked for.
10. At Smash login, the pending cashout clears once every account check is finished.
11. Avoid sending the same request twice, as duplicates slow the review down.
12. Wait for the review to close instead of canceling the request.
13. Write down the request reference for your records.

Contact support when the status has not moved after you completed every check and no message explains the hold.

Identity check stuck or documents rejected

The verification screen shows your upload as rejected or still under review for a long stretch. Most rejections come from an image the reviewer cannot read.

• The photo is blurred, cropped or taken at an angle with glare on it.
• A corner of the document is cut off or a detail is hidden by a reflection.
• The document has expired or shows an older address than the one on the account.
• The name on the document does not match the name on the account exactly.
• Only one side of a document that has two sides was sent.

1. Open the verification page and read which item was rejected and why.
2. Place the document on a flat, plain surface in good light.
3. Take the photo straight on, with all four corners inside the frame.
4. Turn off the flash so no glare covers the text.
5. Photograph both sides of any document that has information on the back.
6. Make sure the document is still valid and shows your current address.
7. Compare the spelling of your name with the one on the account and correct the account if needed.
8. Upload the new image in the format the page asks for.
9. Send one clear image per item rather than several copies of the same one.
10. Note the time of the upload so you can follow it later.
11. Leave the item alone while it shows as under review.
12. If the same document is rejected again, ask support which detail failed.
13. Replace a worn or damaged document with a newer one from the same issuer.
14. Finish the remaining verification items so the whole check can close.

Contact support when a clear, valid document is rejected more than once without a stated reason.

Keep your name, address and payment details identical across the account and every document, because most payment declines, locks and stuck cashouts trace back to a single mismatch between them.
