How to cancel Rooster Teeth in malaysia and stop unwanted charges
What Rooster Teeth is and why you might cancel
Rooster Teeth is a digital entertainment platform offering ad-free streaming, exclusive content, live broadcasts, and community features to gaming and animation fans worldwide. The paid subscription tier, branded as FIRST, renews automatically each billing cycle until you actively cancel through your account settings or via email support.
The Rooster Teeth subscription model in malaysia
Rooster Teeth operates as a recurring subscription service billed in advance. You do not face a minimum commitment or lock-in contract; however, your subscription renews automatically on your next billing date unless you cancel beforehand. The platform processes payments through Stripe and accepts international payment methods, which means Malaysian users can subscribe but must navigate a global support system without local contact branches.
Rooster Teeth does not publish a Malaysia-specific cancellation address or local hotline. Instead, you access your billing settings directly through the Rooster Teeth website or submit cancellation requests via email to [email protected]. This absence of localised support can delay responses, particularly during non-business hours or when payment disputes arise.
Pricing structure for malaysian subscribers
Rooster Teeth offers three billing cycles, all charged in Malaysian Ringgit (RM) via conversion from USD pricing. The three-tier structure is as follows:
| Plan |
Monthly cost (RM) |
Total per cycle |
Best for |
| Monthly |
RM24.50 |
RM24.50 per month |
Trial users or light viewers |
| Six-month |
Approximately RM22.42 |
RM134.50 per cycle |
Regular subscribers |
| Annual |
Approximately RM20.79 |
RM249.50 per year |
Heavy users seeking savings |
Annual and six-month plans lock you into longer payment cycles, meaning a single overlooked renewal can charge RM249.50 or RM134.50 before you notice. Monthly plans allow more frequent review points but cost more per unit time. Yafee recommends documenting your next billing date immediately after subscribing, regardless of which tier you choose.
Your legal position and consumer rights in malaysia
Your ability to cancel Rooster Teeth is protected under the Consumer Protection Act 1999, the primary statute governing unfair contract terms, misleading representations, and cancellation rights for Malaysian consumers.
Consumer protection act 1999 and your cancellation right
The Consumer Protection Act 1999 (CPA 1999) applies to all contracts between a consumer and a supplier. Rooster Teeth qualifies as a "supplier" under the law, and you are the "consumer." The Act requires that subscription terms be transparent, fair, and not misleading. Specifically, section 121A of the CPA 1999 grants consumers a right to cancel distance contracts (including online subscriptions) within 10 days of purchase without penalty, provided Rooster Teeth did not explicitly exclude this right at the point of sale.
Crucially, once the 10-day cooling-off period expires, you retain the right to cancel at any time; however, Rooster Teeth is entitled to charge for services already rendered up to the cancellation date. This means cancelling mid-cycle does not guarantee a pro-rata refund. The CPA 1999 also prohibits automatic renewal clauses that do not explicitly ask for your affirmative consent before charging. If Rooster Teeth renewed your subscription without clear prior notice of the renewal date and amount, you may pursue a refund claim.
Your legal position
You have the right to: Cancel your Rooster Teeth subscription at any time after the 10-day cooling-off period. You cannot be charged for services after your cancellation takes effect. You have the right to receive a written cancellation confirmation. You are not entitled to: A pro-rata refund of fees already paid in advance unless Rooster Teeth fails to provide the service or materially breaches the subscription terms. If Rooster Teeth refuses to cancel or continues charging after you cancel, you may lodge a complaint with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (KPDNHEP) or file a claim in the Magistrate's Court under the CPA 1999.
Yafee advises keeping all cancellation confirmations, screenshots of your billing status, and email correspondence to support your case if a dispute arises.
Rooster Teeth cancellation methods by subscription channel
The method you use to cancel depends on where you subscribed: directly on the Rooster Teeth website, through Apple App Store, or via Google Play.
Cancelling a web-based subscription through Rooster teeth's billing portal
If you signed up directly on roosterteeth.com, the cleanest cancellation path is through your account's billing settings.
- Visit roosterteeth.com/settings/account/billing in your web browser.
- Sign in with the email and password associated with your account.
- Navigate to the "Billing" or "Membership" tab.
- Locate your active subscription plan and select "Cancel Membership" or a similar option.
- Read the cancellation confirmation screen carefully. Take a screenshot showing your membership status as "Cancelled" or "Will not renew".
- Close the page only after seeing explicit confirmation. Do not rely on email confirmation alone.
This method is immediate and leaves a clear digital record. Yafee recommends using a desktop browser rather than the mobile app, as app-based billing portals sometimes display stale information or fail to load subscription status reliably.
Cancelling an apple app store subscription
If you subscribed via the Rooster Teeth app through Apple App Store, you must cancel through App Store settings, not the Rooster Teeth website itself.
- Open the Apple App Store on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner (or click "Account" on Mac).
- Select "Subscriptions".
- Find "Rooster Teeth" in your active subscriptions list.
- Tap the Rooster Teeth entry and select "Cancel Subscription".
- Confirm the cancellation when prompted.
- Screenshot the confirmation screen showing "Subscription Cancelled" or "Expires on [date]".
Apple processes the cancellation and notifies Rooster Teeth separately. The subscription remains active until the current billing date, so you will not lose access mid-cycle. Yafee strongly recommends taking a screenshot immediately, as Apple's subscription portal sometimes clears cancelled entries from your view within 24 hours.
Cancelling a google play subscription
If you subscribed via the Rooster Teeth app through Google Play, cancel through Google Play's subscription management system.
- Open Google Play on your Android device or visit play.google.com/store in a web browser.
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner.
- Select "Payments and subscriptions", then "Subscriptions".
- Find and tap "Rooster Teeth".
- Select "Cancel subscription".
- Confirm the reason for cancellation (optional) and tap "Cancel subscription" again.
- Screenshot the confirmation page showing the cancellation effective date.
Google Play processes cancellations immediately and stops future billing on the renewal date. Your access continues until that date expires.
Email cancellation as a backup method
If the web or app-based cancellation methods fail or appear not to process, submit a cancellation request via email.
- Send an email to [email protected] with the subject line "Subscription Cancellation Request".
- Include your full name, the email address tied to your Rooster Teeth account, your next billing date, and your plan type (Monthly, Six-Month, or Annual).
- Request written confirmation of the cancellation within 5 business days.
- Keep a copy of the sent email and any response Rooster Teeth sends.
Email cancellation is slower than web or app methods and leaves room for miscommunication. Use email only if your primary cancellation attempt fails. Yafee recommends following email cancellation with a web-based attempt if possible, to ensure at least one method triggers the cancellation.
What happens after you cancel your Rooster Teeth subscription
Understanding the post-cancellation timeline protects you from surprise charges and clarifies when your access ends.
Access duration after cancellation
Your Rooster Teeth access remains active until the end of your current billing cycle. If you cancel on 15 June and your annual billing date is 30 June, you retain full access until 30 June. On 1 July, your login will either deny access or display a message to renew. This means cancellation does not mean immediate removal; you finish out the time you have already paid for.
Refund eligibility and timeline
Rooster Teeth typically does not issue pro-rata refunds for cancellations made mid-cycle. If you cancel on 15 June with a monthly billing cycle that renews 30 June, you forfeit any unused days. The sole exception is if you cancel within the 10-day cooling-off window under the Consumer Protection Act 1999, in which case you may request a full refund of the subscription fee for that cycle. Any refund requested after day 10 must be justified by a material breach of Rooster Teeth's terms (e.g., service downtime, failure to provide promised content, or unauthorized charges).
If Rooster Teeth charged you after you cancelled, request a refund by emailing [email protected] with proof of cancellation (screenshots or confirmation emails) and the unwanted charge date. Include your bank transaction reference number. Yafee advises processing this request within 30 days of the unwanted charge to maximize your chances of recovery.
Handling unexpected post-cancellation charges
If you see a charge after cancellation, first verify the charge date against your cancellation date. Some payment processors (Apple, Google, Stripe) process refunds with a delay of 3 to 7 business days. If the charge is dated after your cancellation confirmation, take these steps immediately:
- Contact your bank or payment provider and dispute the charge as "unauthorised" or "subscription cancelled".
- Email [email protected] with the charge amount, date, and your cancellation confirmation screenshot.
- If no response within 14 days, escalate to the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (KPDNHEP) or file a chargeback through your bank.
The Consumer Protection Act 1999 requires suppliers to refund disputed charges within 30 days. If Rooster Teeth does not comply, you have grounds for a formal complaint.
Common cancellation traps and how to avoid them
Many users cancel successfully but still face unwanted charges because of preventable mistakes.
Trap 1: confusing cancellation with temporary pause
Some subscription platforms offer a "pause" feature distinct from cancellation. Rooster Teeth does not clearly advertise a pause option; "cancel" means permanently end the subscription. If you see language like "pause for 1 month" or "suspend temporarily", do not click it unless you intend to resume. Always click a button explicitly labelled "cancel subscription" or "cancel membership".
Trap 2: not checking your next billing date before cancelling
If you do not know when your subscription renews, you might cancel too late. Always log into your account and note the exact renewal date before submitting a cancellation. If renewal is 5 days away, cancel today. If renewal is 60 days away, you have time to confirm the cancellation processed.
Trap 3: cancelling the app but not your subscription
Deleting the Rooster Teeth app from your device does not cancel your subscription. You must cancel the subscription through your billing settings or app store account, then delete the app. Uninstalling alone guarantees you will be charged on the next renewal date.
Trap 4: missing email confirmation
Rooster Teeth may send a confirmation email, but do not assume its absence means the cancellation failed. A missing email can occur due to spam filters or delays. Always rely on your account status showing "Cancelled" or "Will not renew" in the billing portal, not the email alone.
Trap 5: using a shared or secondary payment method
If your subscription is tied to a debit or credit card you no longer use, you might not notice a renewal charge immediately. Update your payment method or cancel your subscription now if you plan to let a card expire. Rooster Teeth does not actively notify you if a card fails; it may attempt the charge 2 to 3 times, then mark the account in arrears-but this does not automatically cancel your membership.
Yafee recommends checking your account billing details immediately after cancelling to ensure no backup payment method is stored. If one exists and you do not intend to resubscribe, remove it.

If you primarily watch Rooster Teeth for gaming content and animation, no single alternative perfectly replaces it. However, if you subscribe mainly for ad-free viewing and occasional exclusive episodes, Yafee suggests testing Viu or YouTube Premium at a lower monthly cost first. If you cancelled Rooster Teeth and later want to rejoin, you can resubscribe at any time without penalty; there is no "return fee" or reactivation charge.
