How to cancel MotoGP subscription in malaysia without losing money

What is MotoGP and how the subscription works

MotoGP is the official subscription platform operated by Dorna Sports that delivers live race coverage, replays, and season content to fans worldwide, including Malaysia. You access the service through motogp.com, the iOS App Store, or Google Play, with support handled entirely through online channels - email ([email protected]) and the help centre at motogp.com/en/help-center/account.

The products you can buy

MotoGP offers three main subscription tiers. VideoPass grants you live video access and full race archives for 365 calendar days. Monthly VideoPass runs for 30 calendar days with automatic renewal enabled by default. FullPass combines VideoPass with TimingPass (timing and telemetry data) for the entire season. New users can access free trials during selected Grand Prix weekends, but this is time-limited and does not replace an ongoing subscription.

The critical detail for Malaysian users is that auto-renewal activates by default after your purchase. If you subscribe and forget to disable renewal before your billing date, MotoGP charges your payment method automatically. Season subscriptions renew on 17 February unless you cancel renewal within 24 hours of that date.

What malaysian users pay in ringgit

MotoGP prices appear in euros (EUR) on the platform, but your card statement shows charges in Malaysian ringgit (RM). Exchange rates fluctuate daily, so your actual charge varies slightly. As a reference guide: yearly VideoPass costs approximately EUR 172.00 (around RM877 at current rates), while monthly VideoPass costs EUR 39.10 (approximately RM199). Your bank may also apply currency conversion fees, which push the final amount higher.

Unlike domestic Malaysian services, you have no local support office, no phone line, and no live chat. This means all communication flows through email or the online help centre, and response times can stretch to several business days. Yafee recommends documenting every interaction by email to create a clear record if you later need to dispute a charge.

Your legal position under malaysian consumer law

Your cancellation rights rest on two foundations: the Consumer Protection Act 1999 and the Distance Contracts Regulations (which govern online purchases in Malaysia).

The 14-day cooling-off period

Under the Consumer Protection Act 1999, you have the right to cancel any distance contract (a purchase made online without face-to-face contact) within 14 calendar days of the transaction, provided you have not substantially consumed the service. For a video streaming subscription, "substantially consumed" typically means you have viewed a significant portion of the content. If you cancel within 14 days without watching races or replays, you are entitled to a full refund of the subscription fee.

To invoke this right, you must notify MotoGP in writing (email counts as written notice) within the 14-day window. You do not need to provide a reason - the Consumer Protection Act 1999 grants you this right unconditionally for distance contracts. However, you must act quickly: the clock starts the moment your payment processes, not when you first log in.

Automatic renewal and billing protection

Malaysian consumer law treats automatic renewal with particular scrutiny. Before charging you for renewal, MotoGP must obtain your explicit, informed consent to the renewal terms, including the exact date, frequency, and amount. If the company fails to obtain this consent or charges you without proper notice, you can dispute the charge with your bank or card issuer under the Consumer Protection Act 1999 Section 108.

Yafee advises that if MotoGP debits your account after you cancel renewal, you have grounds to file a complaint with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (KPDNHEP) if the company refuses to refund the unauthorised charge within 14 days of your request.

Methods to cancel MotoGP depending on how you subscribed

Your cancellation route depends on where you purchased the subscription: directly on motogp.com, through the Apple App Store, or via Google Play. Each platform has its own cancellation pathway, and you must follow the correct method to ensure the cancellation registers.

Check your renewal date before starting

The single most important step is to confirm your next billing date. Log into your account now and locate the "Current Subscription" section. Note the exact renewal date and time. MotoGP allows cancellation up to 24 hours before renewal for season subscriptions, so if your renewal is in 48 hours, act immediately. Taking a screenshot of this page protects you if a dispute arises later.

How to cancel on motogp.com directly

If you subscribed via the MotoGP website using your credit card, debit card, or other payment method, you cancel through the same platform.

Step-by-step web cancellation

1. Visit motogp.com and log into your account using your email and password.
   • If you have forgotten your password, click "Forgot password?" and reset it via the link sent to your email.
2. Navigate to the account menu (usually located at the top right corner or under your profile icon).
   • Look for a link labelled "My Account", "Account Settings", or "Profile".
3. Select the "Subscriptions" section from the account menu.
   • This displays all active and past subscriptions tied to your account.
4. Locate "Current Subscription" and review the renewal date.
   • Read the full subscription details carefully - ensure you are cancelling the correct tier.
5. Click the "Modify the renewal" or "Manage subscription" button.
   • This opens the renewal settings page.
6. Select "Cancel renewal" or "Cancel subscription" - the exact wording may vary slightly.
   • MotoGP may display a retention offer (discount, free period, etc.) at this point. You can decline and proceed with cancellation.
7. Confirm the cancellation by clicking the final "Confirm" or "Cancel subscription" button.
   • Do not close the browser tab immediately. Wait 3-5 seconds for the page to refresh and display the confirmation message.
8. Take a screenshot of the confirmation page showing "Renewal cancelled" or similar text.
   • This screenshot is your proof that you cancelled before the renewal date.
9. Check your email inbox (including spam/promotions folders) for a cancellation confirmation email from MotoGP within 30 minutes.
   • If you do not receive an email within 2 hours, log back in and verify that the renewal status now shows "Cancelled".

Your legal position: Once you have cancelled renewal on motogp.com, the company has no right to charge you again. If a charge appears after cancellation, you can dispute it directly with your bank under the Consumer Protection Act 1999. Retain the cancellation screenshot and the original payment receipt as evidence.

How to cancel if you subscribed through apple app store

If you purchased your MotoGP subscription within the iOS app (iPhone or iPad), Apple processes the billing and renewal, not MotoGP directly. You must cancel through the App Store settings.

Cancelling on iOS devices

1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
   • This is the grey gear icon on your home screen.
2. Tap your Apple ID name at the top of the Settings menu.
   • You will see your profile picture, name, and account details.
3. Select "Subscriptions" from the list (this option appears below "Password & Security" or "Media & Purchases").
   • This displays all active App Store subscriptions.
4. Tap "MotoGP" from the list of subscriptions.
   • If you cannot see it, scroll down - subscriptions are listed alphabetically.
5. Press "Cancel Subscription" or "Edit Subscription" and then select "Cancel".
   • Apple displays your renewal date and the date the cancellation becomes effective.
6. Confirm cancellation by tapping the red "Confirm" button.
   • Read the confirmation message carefully to ensure the date matches your expectation.
7. Take a screenshot showing "Subscription cancelled" or "Cancellation effective [date]".
   • This proves you initiated the cancellation within the allowed window.
8. Check the "Subscription Status" section - it should now display "Expired" or "Cancelled" with the effective date.
   • If the status shows "Active" after 2 minutes, try the cancellation process again or contact Apple Support.

You can also cancel through the App Store website (appleid.apple.com) by signing in with your Apple ID, navigating to Subscriptions, finding MotoGP, and clicking "Cancel Subscription".

How to cancel if you subscribed through google play

Android users who purchased MotoGP through the Google Play app must cancel through Google Play's subscription management system.

Cancelling on android devices

1. Open the Google Play app on your Android device.
   • This is the coloured triangle icon on your home screen.
2. Tap the profile icon in the top right corner.
   • This displays your account menu.
3. Select "Payments and subscriptions" or "Subscriptions" from the menu.
   • The exact label depends on your Android version.
4. Tap "Manage subscriptions".
   • This shows all active subscriptions.
5. Find and tap "MotoGP" in the list.
   • If you have multiple subscriptions, scroll to find it.
6. Select "Cancel subscription" at the bottom of the screen.
   • Google displays your renewal date and the final billing date.
7. Confirm by tapping "Yes, cancel subscription" in the popup dialog.
   • You may see a retention offer; decline if you wish to proceed.
8. Take a screenshot showing "Subscription cancelled" and the date it becomes effective.
   • Store this image in a safe folder - you may need it for a refund claim.

You can also cancel at play.google.com (the web version) by signing in with your Google account, navigating to Subscriptions, selecting MotoGP, and clicking "Cancel subscription".

How to request a refund after cancellation

Cancelling your renewal stops future charges, but it does not automatically refund charges already made. You must submit a separate refund request if you qualify under the 14-day cooling-off rule or if MotoGP charged you in error.

Invoking your 14-day cancellation right

1. Calculate your 14-day window.
   • Count 14 calendar days from the date your payment processed (the transaction date on your bank statement), not from the date you created the account.
2. Draft an email to [email protected] with the subject "Cancellation and refund request under Consumer Protection Act 1999".
   • Include your MotoGP account email, subscription start date, and the amount charged in ringgit.
   • State clearly: "I request cancellation of my subscription and a full refund under the 14-day cooling-off right granted by the Consumer Protection Act 1999. I have not substantially consumed the subscription."
3. Attach a screenshot of your bank statement showing the MotoGP charge, your original account activation confirmation, and (if applicable) your cancellation confirmation from earlier steps.
   • These files create a complete paper trail.
4. Send the email and retain a copy for your records.
   • Note the date and time you sent the email.
5. MotoGP should respond within 14 days with either a refund confirmation or an explanation of why the refund is denied.
   • If the company claims you consumed the content, ask for a consumption report showing which races you viewed.
6. If MotoGP refuses the refund without valid grounds, escalate to the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (KPDNHEP) by filing a consumer complaint at kpdnhep.gov.my.
   • Yafee recommends submitting this complaint within 6 months of the charge.

Disputing an unauthorised charge with your bank

If MotoGP continues to charge you after you cancelled renewal, you have the right to dispute the charge directly with your bank or card issuer under the Consumer Protection Act 1999 and banking regulations.

1. Contact your bank's customer service by phone, email, or online banking.
   • Locate the phone number on the back of your card or on your bank's official website.
2. Request a "chargeback" or "dispute" on the unauthorised MotoGP charge.
   • Explain that you cancelled your subscription but the company charged you again.
3. Provide the bank with your cancellation screenshot and the original payment receipt.
   • Most banks accept disputes filed within 60 days of the charge; some allow up to 120 days.
4. Your bank investigates and either refunds the amount or requests further evidence from MotoGP.
   • This process typically takes 7-21 days.
5. Retain all correspondence with your bank for your records.
   • You may need this if you later file a complaint with KPDNHEP.

Your legal position: Under the Consumer Protection Act 1999 Section 108, you are protected against unauthorised charges. If MotoGP debits your account without your current, explicit consent to the specific charge amount and date, the charge is legally unauthorised. Your bank must process your dispute in good faith. If the bank delays or refuses without reason, you can escalate to Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM).

Pricing reference for malaysian users

Exchange rates fluctuate, so your actual ringgit charge may differ by 1-5% from these estimates. Your card issuer may also charge a currency conversion fee (typically 1-3%), which increases your total cost.

What happens after you cancel

Cancellation does not terminate your account immediately - you keep access until the renewal date you locked in earlier.

Your access window after cancellation

Once you cancel renewal, MotoGP allows you to continue watching content until the end of your current billing period. If you cancelled on 15 March and your renewal date was 20 March, you retain full access from 15-20 March. After 20 March, your account access expires and you cannot log in to view live races or replays.

During this final access window, download or screenshot any content you wish to keep - MotoGP does not guarantee that archived links remain available after your subscription ends. You cannot "pause" your subscription and resume later at the same price; once access expires, you must resubscribe at the current rate if you wish to return.

Retention offers and second cancellation attempts

When you cancel, MotoGP may display a retention offer (discount, extended access, etc.). You are under no obligation to accept it. If you decline and the company emails you a separate offer within 7 days, you can ignore it or reply "I wish to proceed with cancellation" to end all contact. Do not feel pressured to resubscribe to avoid being charged - once renewal is cancelled, the company cannot bill you without your new, written consent.

Common mistakes that lead to unexpected charges

Cancelling your subscription is straightforward if you follow the correct process, but small errors can result in charges you did not expect. Here are the pitfalls Yafee has identified that catch most users.

Cancelling the subscription instead of renewal

MotoGP offers two options: cancel the subscription itself, or cancel renewal only. Cancelling the subscription immediately terminates your access, whereas cancelling renewal lets you finish your current billing period before losing access. If your goal is to avoid the next charge but keep watching until your renewal date, select "Cancel renewal" - not "Cancel subscription". Many users tap the wrong button and lose access mid-season by mistake.

Assuming cancellation is automatic on app platforms

A common error is cancelling on motogp.com but forgetting to cancel the linked app subscription on Apple or Google Play. The two are separate billing relationships. If you cancel on motogp.com but your App Store or Google Play subscription remains active, Apple or Google will charge you on your renewal date. You must cancel on all platforms where you have active subscriptions.

Missing the 24-hour cutoff for season subscriptions

FullPass (season subscription) renews on a fixed date: 17 February. MotoGP allows cancellation only within 24 hours before this date (i.e., between 16 February at 00:00 and 17 February at 00:00 in UTC). If you cancel on 18 February, you have missed the window and must wait until next season to cancel. Set a phone reminder for one week before your renewal date to avoid this trap.

Not saving proof of cancellation

If you do not screenshot the cancellation confirmation and receive an unexpected charge 3 months later, you have no contemporaneous proof that you cancelled. By then, the page may have changed, email confirmations may have been deleted, and MotoGP customer support may claim no cancellation was processed. Screenshots taken on the day of cancellation are your strongest evidence. Yafee strongly advises saving them to cloud storage (Google Drive, OneDrive, iCloud) so they survive a phone reset or device loss.

Confusing cancellation with account deletion

Cancelling your subscription does not delete your MotoGP account. Your account, username, and login details remain active, and your payment method stays on file. If you want to fully delete your account and all personal data, you must contact [email protected] separately and request account deletion under the Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA). This is a distinct process from subscription cancellation and does not happen automatically.

Pricing and features comparison table

If you watch fewer than 6 races per year, monthly VideoPass is most economical. If you watch 12+ races per season, annual VideoPass offers the best value. FullPass suits viewers who want timing and telemetry data alongside video - the premium is typically justified for professional enthusiasts or technical analysts.

Contact methods and escalation routes

MotoGP does not maintain a public postal address in Malaysia, and there is no phone support line. All communication flows through online channels only.

Official MotoGP support

• Email: [email protected]
• Help centre: motogp.com/en/help-center/account
• Contact form: Available on motogp.com (select "Support" or "Contact us")

Response times typically range from 2 to 5 business days. If you do not receive a reply within 7 days, resend your message and reference the original date.

If MotoGP refuses to refund or respond

Your escalation route in Malaysia is the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (KPDNHEP). File a consumer complaint at:

• Website: kpdnhep.gov.my
• Online complaint form: Click "Consumer Complaint" and select "E-Commerce / Online Services"
• Deadline: You must file within 6 months of the incident

Include copies of your cancellation confirmation, refund request email, and the company's response (or lack thereof). KPDNHEP investigates on your behalf and can issue a compliance order requiring MotoGP to refund you. There is no fee to file a complaint.

If the dispute involves your bank or card issuer, you can also escalate to Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) at bnm.gov.my if your bank refuses to process a chargeback dispute within 60 days.

Summary and key takeaways

Cancelling your MotoGP subscription in Malaysia is legal, straightforward, and protected by the Consumer Protection Act 1999.

Take three critical steps before cancelling: note your renewal date, screenshot your subscription settings, and save your payment receipt.
