Frequently asked questions
Cancel Battle.Net: The Right Way
How to cancel Battle.Net in new zealand and protect your refund rights
What Battle.Net is and why cancellation matters
Battle.Net is Blizzard Entertainment's digital platform where you purchase, download, and manage games including World of Warcraft, Diablo, Overwatch, and Starcraft. You buy directly through Battle.Net's website or via mobile app stores like Google Play and Apple App Store. Understanding where your purchase originated shapes your entire cancellation and refund process. Yafee has helped thousands of New Zealand consumers navigate this distinction and recover their money when things go wrong.
Where your Battle.Net purchase actually happens
Blizzard operates two separate purchasing channels with vastly different cancellation rules. If you buy through Battle.Net's own web store, Blizzard processes your transaction, holds your account data, and manages refunds directly. If you purchase through Google Play or Apple App Store (for mobile games or in-app content), those platforms control the transaction and refund process-Blizzard cannot override their decisions. This distinction is critical. Yafee advisors recommend checking your original receipt or transaction email to identify which platform processed your payment before you proceed with cancellation.
Why new zealand consumers cancel Battle.Net accounts
You might cancel because you no longer play, a recurring subscription charged without clear notice, you discovered unexpected costs, or the service failed to meet acceptable quality standards. Your reason determines which legal framework protects your cancellation rights. New Zealand consumer law gives you strong protections that Blizzard's standard terms cannot weaken.
Your legal position under new zealand consumer law
The Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 is your foundation-it protects you in every transaction with Battle.Net, and Blizzard cannot override it in their terms and conditions.
What the consumer guarantees act guarantees you
The Act entitles you to services and digital content that are of acceptable quality, fit for purpose, and delivered within a reasonable timeframe. If World of Warcraft becomes unplayable due to server failures, crashes, or features advertised but unavailable, you can request repair, replacement, or a full refund. If a game is incompatible with your system despite Blizzard's stated requirements, or if expansions cause consistent crashes, you retain the right to a refund-even months after purchase. This protection exists regardless of how many hours you have played or what Blizzard's standard refund policy says. Yafee recommends documenting any quality failures with screenshots, server status page records, or support ticket numbers before escalating your claim.
Where blizzard's policy falls short of your legal rights
Blizzard's standard refund policy limits refunds to 14 days for most items and restricts game refunds to purchases with under two hours of gameplay. The Consumer Guarantees Act has no such time limits if the product fails in quality or fitness for purpose. In accordance with New Zealand law, if a game is unplayable or a subscription service fails to deliver what was promised, you can pursue a refund after the 14-day window closes. This is your legal safeguard. Yafee encourages you to document these failures and reference the Consumer Guarantees Act when Blizzard initially refuses.
Your legal position
You have the right to cancel any Battle.Net subscription at any time. You are entitled to a refund if the service fails in quality, fitness for purpose, or safety. The Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 protects these rights. Blizzard's 14-day or two-hour gameplay limits do not override this law. If you dispute a refusal, you can escalate to the Commerce Commission (the New Zealand consumer authority) or dispute the charge with your bank or payment provider.
Battle.Net pricing and subscription plans in new zealand
Battle.Net charges in New Zealand dollars (NZD) for game time, in-game purchases, and expansions. World of Warcraft subscriptions are the primary recurring charge.
Current subscription costs and billing cycles
| Plan or item | Price (NZD) | Billing period | What you get |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-month game time | NZ$26.99 | Monthly | World of Warcraft playable for 30 days |
| 3-month game time | NZ$75.57 | Every 3 months | World of Warcraft playable for 90 days |
| 6-month game time | NZ$140.34 | Every 6 months | World of Warcraft playable for 180 days |
| 12-month game time | NZ$280.68 | Annually | World of Warcraft playable for 12 months |
| WoW Token (in-game currency) | NZ$36.00 | One-time purchase | In-game currency, non-refundable after claiming |
Longer billing cycles cost less per month upfront but lock you in for longer. If you cancel a 12-month plan mid-cycle, you lose access to unused months and are unlikely to receive a pro-rata refund under Blizzard's standard policy. Yafee advises checking your next billing date before committing to a longer plan.
How to cancel Battle.Net if you purchased through the web store
Cancelling your Battle.Net account or subscription depends on whether you bought directly through Battle.Net or via Apple App Store or Google Play. This section covers web store cancellations.
Step 1: log in to your Battle.Net account
Visit account.battle.net using the email address associated with your account. Enter your password and complete any two-factor authentication if you have it enabled. You will see your account dashboard with your current subscriptions, game licenses, and payment methods listed.
Step 2: navigate to your subscriptions and billing section
Look for "Subscription Management" or "Billing" in your account settings. You will see a list of all active recurring charges. Identify which subscription you want to cancel-for example, World of Warcraft game time, Diablo Immortal battle pass, or Overwatch 2 battle pass. Click on the subscription you wish to cancel.
Step 3: select "Cancel subscription" and confirm
Select the cancel option. Battle.Net will ask you to confirm your cancellation and may display a retention offer (discount or bonus time). Decline if you wish to proceed. Confirm your cancellation. You will receive an on-screen confirmation message and a confirmation email at your registered address.
Step 4: verify your cancellation in your account
Return to your subscription list. Your cancelled subscription should now show as "Inactive" or have a cancellation date listed. If it still appears active, refresh the page or contact Battle.Net support at us.battle.net/support. Keep this confirmation for your records-you will need it if you later dispute a charge or claim a refund.
How to cancel if you purchased through google play or apple app store
If you bought your subscription or in-app content through Google Play or Apple App Store, those platforms control your refund and cancellation process-Blizzard cannot intervene directly.
Cancelling an apple app store subscription
- Open the Apple App Store on your iOS device (iPhone, iPad, or Mac).
- Tap or click your profile icon in the top right corner.
- Select "Subscriptions."
- Find the Blizzard game subscription (World of Warcraft, Diablo Immortal, or similar).
- Tap "Manage" next to the subscription.
- Select "Cancel Subscription."
- Confirm the cancellation. Your subscription will remain active until your current billing period ends, then it will not renew.
- Alternatively, visit appleid.apple.com on a computer, log in, and navigate to "Subscriptions" to manage and cancel from there.
Cancelling a google play subscription
- Open the Google Play Store on your Android device or visit play.google.com on a computer.
- Tap your profile icon and select "Payments and subscriptions."
- Tap "Subscriptions."
- Find the Blizzard game subscription.
- Tap "Manage" or "Cancel subscription."
- Confirm the cancellation. Your subscription will end at the current billing period.
Requesting a refund after cancellation
Cancelling your subscription stops future charges but does not automatically refund past payments. You must request a refund separately if you believe you are entitled to one under consumer law.
Refund eligibility under the consumer guarantees act
You can request a refund if your Battle.Net purchase failed in quality, fitness for purpose, or safety. Examples include: a game that crashes repeatedly, a subscription where servers are down for extended periods, a game incompatible with your system despite Blizzard's stated requirements, or missing features advertised at purchase. If you purchased within the last 14 days and have played under two hours, Blizzard may refund under their standard policy regardless of the reason. Yafee recommends submitting your refund request in writing (email or support ticket) with clear detail: what you purchased, when, the problem you encountered, and relevant evidence (screenshots, server status records, support ticket numbers).
How to submit a refund request to blizzard
- Visit us.battle.net/support and log in.
- Click "Submit a request."
- Select "Billing and Payments" as your issue category.
- Select "Refund Request" or similar option.
- Fill in the form with the following details:
- The game or subscription you are requesting a refund for.
- Your purchase date.
- The amount in NZD.
- Your reason for the refund (quality failure, service not fit for purpose, etc.).
- Any relevant evidence (screenshots of errors, server status page records, gameplay time, support conversations).
- Reference the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 in your request. Write: "Under New Zealand's Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, I am entitled to a refund because the service/game failed in quality/fitness for purpose."
- Submit and note your support ticket number.
If blizzard refuses your refund request
Blizzard will respond within 5 to 10 business days. If they refuse, you have two escalation paths:
- Dispute the charge with your bank or payment provider. Contact your bank and ask for a chargeback. Provide them with your refund request, Blizzard's response, and evidence of the service failure. Your bank may reverse the charge on your behalf.
- Complain to the Commerce Commission. Visit comcom.govt.nz and file a consumer complaint. The Commerce Commission is New Zealand's regulator for consumer protection and has authority to investigate breaches of the Consumer Guarantees Act. Yafee advises keeping all correspondence with Blizzard and documentation of the problem when escalating.
What happens after you cancel your Battle.Net subscription
Cancelling stops future charges and gives you breathing room-what happens next depends on your account status and what you purchased.
Your access after cancellation
Once your current billing period ends (or immediately, depending on the game), your access to World of Warcraft, Diablo Immortal, or whichever title required an active subscription will be revoked. You will be unable to log in or play that game. However, you retain access to any single-purchase games (like Overwatch 2) and your account remains open. Your in-game characters and progress are preserved on Blizzard's servers; if you resubscribe in future, you can return to where you left off.
Refunding paid-but-unused time
If you paid for a 12-month subscription and cancel three months in, Blizzard's standard refund policy offers no pro-rata refund for the nine unused months. The Consumer Guarantees Act, however, may entitle you to one if you can demonstrate the service failed in quality. For example, if servers were unreliable, crashes were frequent, or major features were unavailable for significant periods, you can argue the subscription did not provide the service you paid for. Document these failures and submit a refund request referencing the Consumer Guarantees Act.
Resubscribing after cancellation
You can resubscribe at any time by logging into your Battle.Net account and purchasing a new subscription. Blizzard does not block former subscribers from returning. Your previous characters, account level, and purchased items remain associated with your account.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling Battle.Net
Cancellation confusion is common-Yafee has identified patterns that cost consumers money and delay refunds. Be aware of these traps.
Mistake 1: not cancelling on the right platform
If you bought through Google Play, cancelling via Apple App Store does nothing. Your Google Play subscription continues to renew and charge your payment method. Consequently, you must cancel on the exact platform where you made the purchase. Check your original receipt or credit card statement to confirm the payment processor, then cancel there.
Mistake 2: confusing account deletion with subscription cancellation
Cancelling your subscription does not delete your account. You remain a Battle.Net user and your account remains active. If you want to completely remove your account and all associated data, you must submit a separate account deletion request to Blizzard support. Account deletion is permanent and irreversible, so only do this if you are certain you will never return.
Mistake 3: accepting blizzard's first refund refusal without escalation
Blizzard frequently refuses refunds outside their 14-day policy, even when the Consumer Guarantees Act entitles you. Do not accept a flat "no." Instead, reply to their refusal in writing, reference the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 by name, and cite the specific quality failure or fitness issue. If they refuse again, escalate to your bank's dispute process or the Commerce Commission. Yafee has seen thousands of consumers recover money after initial refusals simply by escalating correctly.
Mistake 4: failing to document the problem before cancelling
If you are cancelling due to service failure (crashes, lag, downtime), take screenshots, note the dates and times of problems, and save server status pages or support responses. Once you cancel, you may lose access to your account dashboard and cannot easily gather evidence. Collect proof while you still have access.
Mistake 5: not keeping cancellation and refund correspondence
Save every confirmation email, support ticket response, and refund request. If you later dispute the charge with your bank or complain to the Commerce Commission, you will need this paper trail. Blizzard may also lose track of your case internally, and your saved correspondence proves what you asked for and when.
Comparison table: refund scenarios under different rules
The following table shows how your refund entitlement changes depending on when and why you cancel.
| Scenario | Blizzard's standard policy | Consumer Guarantees Act protection | Your best outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cancel within 14 days, under 2 hours played | Full refund | Full refund (quality or not) | Full refund (automatic) |
| Cancel after 14 days, game unplayable (crashes) | No refund | Full refund (service failure) | Full refund (escalate to Commerce Commission) |
| Cancel 6-month subscription after 2 months, no issues | No refund | No refund | No refund |
| Cancel 12-month subscription after 3 months, servers down weekly | No refund | Pro-rata refund for unused months (service failure) | Pro-rata refund (dispute or escalate) |
| Google Play refund (within 14 days) | Apple/Google process it | Apple/Google process it | Full refund (cancel on Google Play/Apple App Store) |
Contacting blizzard if your cancellation goes wrong
If you encounter issues during cancellation, contact Blizzard support directly.

Escalation to the commerce commission

You can file a formal consumer complaint at comcom.govt.nz/about-us/contact-us or call 0800 943 600. The Commission will investigate Blizzard's compliance with New Zealand consumer law.
