How to cancel Racing TV subscription in India - Yafee
How to cancel Racing TV subscription and reclaim your viewing control
What Racing TV is and why you might want to cancel
Racing TV is a dedicated streaming platform built for horse racing enthusiasts across India and the UK. It delivers live race coverage, expert commentary, replays and detailed race analysis through web and mobile applications, giving you access to racing content whenever and wherever you want it. The service caters to both serious punters and casual fans who want comprehensive coverage of international horse racing events.
If you have signed up for Racing TV but find yourself not watching enough races to justify the subscription cost, or if you prefer another racing platform, cancelling is a straightforward process once you know the right steps. Yafee helps thousands of consumers navigate subscription cancellations every month, and Racing TV has a clear cancellation path if you follow the correct method. Your decision to cancel is entirely legitimate, and you have legal protections under Indian consumer law to back you up.
Common reasons to cancel Racing TV
You might cancel because the subscription fee no longer fits your budget, you have finished exploring the content library, or you have switched to a competitor platform. Some customers cancel after the free trial period ends, realising they prefer free or alternative racing services. Others simply lose interest in horse racing altogether. Whatever your reason, Yafee believes you have the absolute right to exit any subscription without unnecessary friction or delay.
Who Racing TV serves
Racing TV targets serious and casual horse racing fans who want live streams, expert analysis and race replays. The service operates across multiple regions including the UK, Republic of Ireland and India, though pricing and plan availability vary significantly by location. Understanding your specific subscription type is essential before you cancel, as the process differs depending on whether you signed up online, via app, or through a trial offer.
Your consumer rights when cancelling Racing TV in india
India's Consumer Protection Act, 2019 protects you when you cancel digital subscriptions, and these rights form the foundation of your cancellation journey.
The 14-day cooling-off period under consumer law
You have the legal right to cancel Racing TV within 14 days of purchase and receive a refund, minus any non-refundable connection fees and charges for days of service you actually used. This cooling-off period is your safety net if you change your mind after signing up. Section 6(1) of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 establishes this right for distance contracts (contracts formed online or by phone).
To use this right, you must initiate cancellation by contacting Racing TV by telephone within the 14-day window and provide a clear, unambiguous cancellation request. Keep your subscription confirmation email handy when you call to cancel. It will have your subscription start date, making it easier to calculate whether you fall within the 14-day cooling-off period.
Your legal position: The 14-day clock starts on the day you complete your subscription purchase. If you subscribed on 1 January, your cooling-off period ends at midnight on 14 January. You must initiate cancellation within this window; the refund does not need to reach your account by day 14, only your cancellation request must be submitted.
Rights beyond the cooling-off period
After the 14-day period expires, your subscription enters the minimum contract term stated in Racing TV's terms and conditions. You generally cannot cancel early without losing your full payment unless you fall into specific protective categories.
However, if Racing TV significantly reduces or withdraws a service you paid for in advance (such as an annual plan), you can cancel with one month's notice and receive a pro-rata refund for unused time. The Consumer Protection Act also requires Racing TV to honour its own terms and conditions, handle your personal data responsibly, and respond to complaints within 21 days. If Racing TV refuses to cancel or denies you a lawful refund, Yafee recommends escalating your complaint to the Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) in India.
Methods to cancel Racing TV subscription
Racing TV processes all cancellations exclusively by telephone, and this is the only method the company accepts.
Telephone cancellation (the only accepted method)
Racing TV handles all cancellation requests exclusively by phone. Email cancellation requests are not accepted, and you cannot cancel through the website or mobile app. This phone-only policy means you must speak to a customer service representative directly to ensure your cancellation is processed correctly.
When you call, have the following information ready: your account email address, subscription start date, and subscription plan name or ID. The representative will confirm your identity, verify your account details, and process your cancellation request immediately. You will receive a confirmation during the call; request a reference number and take note of the date and time of your cancellation conversation.

Refunds and cancellation timeframes for Racing TV
Understanding when you will receive your refund and what amount is refundable is critical to managing your cancellation.
Refund eligibility within the cooling-off period
If you cancel Racing TV within 14 days of purchase, you are entitled to a full refund of your subscription fee, with the exception of non-refundable connection fees (if any) and charges for days of service you actually used. The Consumer Protection Act requires this refund to be processed without undue delay, which means within 14 days of your cancellation request in most cases.
For example, if you paid ₹500 for a monthly subscription and cancel on day 7, Racing TV can deduct a pro-rata amount for 7 days of service used (approximately ₹250 if calculated linearly) and refund you the remaining ₹250, unless the terms specify otherwise.
Refund eligibility beyond the cooling-off period
After the 14-day cooling-off period expires, you generally have no automatic right to a refund unless Racing TV breaches its contractual obligations or your country's consumer law provides additional protection. However, if you paid for an annual subscription in advance and then cancel mid-year, Yafee recommends requesting a pro-rata refund for the unused portion. Some providers honour this voluntarily; others refuse. If Racing TV refuses and you believe this is unfair, you can escalate the complaint to the Central Consumer Protection Authority.
Processing timeframe
Once Racing TV processes your cancellation, the refund typically reaches your original payment method within 5 to 10 working days. If you paid by credit card, debit card, or net banking, the timeframe may extend slightly as your bank processes the incoming refund. If your refund does not appear within 15 working days, contact Racing TV again with your cancellation reference number and request a refund status update.

What happens after you cancel Racing TV
The cancellation process does not end once you hang up the phone; several steps follow that you should monitor carefully.
Immediate access termination
Your access to Racing TV content ceases within 2 hours of cancellation in most cases. You will no longer be able to log in or stream live races and replays. If you can still access content after 2 hours, contact customer service immediately with your cancellation reference number.
Refund processing and verification
Racing TV will process your refund within 5 to 10 working days. Your bank or payment provider may add an additional 2 to 5 working days for the refund to appear in your account. Check your original payment method (credit card, debit card, or net banking app) within 15 working days. If the refund does not arrive by day 15, contact Racing TV with your cancellation reference and request a refund status update.
Subscription data and account closure
After cancellation, Racing TV retains your account data (email, payment history, viewing history) unless you request account deletion. If you wish to delete your account entirely, contact customer service separately and request account deletion under India's data protection requirements. Yafee recommends requesting written confirmation of account deletion as well.
Marketing communications
You may continue to receive promotional emails from Racing TV after cancellation unless you unsubscribe. Open the promotional email, scroll to the footer, and click "Unsubscribe" or "Manage preferences" to stop receiving marketing communications immediately.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling Racing TV
Cancellation is simple once you know what to do, and most problems arise from avoidable mistakes rather than company obstruction.
Sending email instead of calling
Racing TV explicitly does not process cancellation requests via email. If you email your cancellation request, it will likely be ignored or forwarded to customer service with a request that you call instead. This delays your cancellation by days and may push you past the 14-day cooling-off period deadline if you are close. Always use the telephone method exclusively.
Failing to note the cancellation reference number
During your cancellation call, the representative will provide a reference number or confirmation code. Write this down immediately. If a dispute arises later regarding your refund or access termination, this reference number is your proof that you cancelled. Without it, Racing TV may claim no record of your cancellation request.
Not requesting written confirmation email
Verbal confirmation alone is insufficient if Racing TV later denies your cancellation. Always ask the representative to send a written confirmation email within 24 hours. This email serves as your documentary evidence if you need to escalate the complaint to the Central Consumer Protection Authority.
Cancelling near the end of a billing cycle
If you cancel on day 25 of a monthly subscription, you will likely be charged for the next month before access terminates. To avoid an unwanted charge, check your subscription renewal date and cancel at least 5 days before renewal. Your subscription confirmation email will show your renewal date clearly.
Not verifying access termination
After cancellation, attempt to log in to confirm your access has ended. Some cancellations are misprocessed, and access may remain active despite your request. If you can still log in 2 hours after cancellation, contact customer service immediately and provide your cancellation reference. Do not ignore this; otherwise Racing TV may charge you again for the next billing period.
Escalation and complaints if Racing TV refuses to cancel
In rare cases, Racing TV may refuse your cancellation request or deny a refund you believe you are entitled to.
Lodging a formal complaint with Racing TV
If Racing TV refuses to cancel your subscription or disputes your refund entitlement, submit a formal written complaint to their customer service department. Use the email address or postal address from your confirmation email. State the date and time of your original cancellation call, your cancellation reference number, and the reason for your complaint. Request a written response within 21 days, as required by the Consumer Protection Act, 2019.
Escalation to the central consumer protection authority
If Racing TV does not respond to your formal complaint within 21 days, or if they refuse your justified cancellation or refund request, you can lodge a complaint with the Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) in India. You may file a complaint online via the CCPA's National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) portal at http://www.ccpa.gov.in. Yafee strongly recommends gathering all documentary evidence before filing: your confirmation email, cancellation reference, and written correspondence with Racing TV.
Your consumer protection position
The Consumer Protection Act, 2019 Section 2(47) defines "unfair trade practice" as any practice that causes loss or injury to consumers through deception or misrepresentation. If Racing TV refuses a lawful cancellation or refund, this may constitute an unfair trade practice. The CCPA has the authority to order Racing TV to process your cancellation, refund your payment, and pay compensation for deficiency in service.
