Alabama requires cryptocurrency kiosk operators to reimburse qualifying scam victims under House Bill 303, the Cryptocurrency Kiosk Fraud Prevention Act. Sponsored by state Rep. Russell Bedsole, the measure was enacted April 8 and took effect Oct. 1. New customers can receive full reimbursement plus all fees, while existing customers can recover half the payment’s value plus all fees. The larger refund applies to a customer’s first cryptocurrency kiosk transaction and the following 30 days. Claims require notice to the operator, a law enforcement agency and the Alabama Securities Commission (ASC), the state’s securities regulator, within 60 calendar days, followed by a fraud report filed with law enforcement or the commission. Victims should preserve receipts, transaction IDs, wallet addresses, payment details and communications with scammers, and report incidents to the ASC, the Federal Trade Commission and local law enforcement. The law also caps new-customer transactions at $1,000 per day and $10,000 per month across one or more Alabama kiosks, while existing customers face a $10,500 daily ceiling. Operators must provide fee and exchange-rate disclosures, fraud warnings, identity verification and, for U.S.-headquartered businesses, round-the-clock live U.S.-based toll-free support. The Federal Bureau of Investigation recorded 177 Alabama complaints and nearly $3 million in reported losses in 2025, compared with almost $389 million in losses across 13,460 complaints nationwide. Alabama officials say the rules will not eliminate scams but are intended to limit losses and improve recovery.
