How to cancel GearUp booster and stop recurring charges in singapore
Understanding GearUp booster and your cancellation options
GearUp Booster is a subscription gaming service that delivers in-app performance tools, analytics, and boosters across mobile and desktop platforms. You access the service through the dedicated GearUp PC application, mobile app stores (Apple App Store and Google Play), or the web shop, which sells hardware, codes, and membership subscriptions. Each delivery channel operates under different terms and cancellation procedures, which means your cancellation method depends entirely on where you purchased your subscription. At Yafee, we understand that managing multiple subscriptions across different platforms can feel overwhelming, so we have compiled this guide to help you cancel GearUp Booster cleanly and recover your money.
How GearUp booster splits its service delivery
The platform operates through two distinct models. First, you have subscriptions managed directly within the GearUp PC application or through mobile app stores. These subscriptions renew automatically on a weekly or monthly basis. Second, you have the web shop, where you purchase hardware bundles, game codes, and membership packages that either ship to your address or activate as digital codes. This structural split matters because your cancellation method will differ significantly depending on where your subscription originated. Understanding which channel you used is your essential first step toward cancelling effectively.
Why inactive GearUp subscriptions cost you money
Unused gaming subscriptions charge your account silently and repeatedly. Weekly plans renew every seven days, monthly tiers recur automatically, and hardware purchases lock in costs before shipment. Without decisive cancellation action, you risk overlooking renewal dates and being charged for periods you never use. Yafee specializes in helping consumers like you regain control by navigating multi-platform cancellations and maximizing your refund eligibility.
Your consumer rights when cancelling GearUp booster in singapore
Singapore law grants you statutory protections over digital subscriptions, distance contracts, and online purchases that you must understand before you cancel.
Protection under the consumer protection (Fair trading) act
Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act grants you statutory rights over distance contracts, which include all online purchases from the GearUp web shop. You have the right to cancel distance contracts within 14 calendar days of purchase without penalty, provided you notify the seller before the cooling-off window closes or immediately after the 14-day period ends. This protection covers hardware orders, codes, and physical goods shipped to your address. Digital content already supplied or consumed may be excluded from this cooling-off right, but unactivated codes and unopened hardware remain fully protected. If GearUp Booster refuses your cancellation request within this window, you can escalate your complaint to the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) or the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCCS), both of which enforce this legislation actively.
Your legal position on app store subscriptions
Subscriptions managed through Apple App Store and Google Play fall primarily under those platforms' terms of service, since they process the billing transaction. However, you retain your rights under Singapore law if either platform or GearUp Booster fails to process your cancellation request within a reasonable timeframe. In-app subscriptions billed directly by GearUp through the PC application may also qualify for the 14-day cooling-off period if purchased online, though this depends on how GearUp classifies the transaction. Yafee recommends documenting every cancellation request you submit-screenshots, email confirmations, transaction IDs, and dates-because proof of your effort strengthens any complaint you lodge with CASE or CCCS.
What happens if GearUp refuses to cancel
If GearUp Booster declines your cancellation request or fails to process it within 14 days, you can file a formal complaint with CASE or the CCCS. Both authorities investigate breaches of consumer law and can compel refunds or force compliance. The CCCS enforces competition law and consumer protection statutes; CASE mediates disputes and escalates persistent violations. Yafee advises you to keep copies of all correspondence, screenshots of your account, and proof of payment, because these documents form the foundation of any regulatory complaint.
Cancelling GearUp booster subscriptions on the PC application
If you subscribed directly through the GearUp PC application, you must cancel within the app itself, as uninstalling the application does not stop billing.

Launch the GearUp PC application on your computer and log in with your registered account credentials.
- Open the GearUp PC application.
- Enter your username and password at the login screen.
- Click or tap the settings icon, typically located in the top-right or bottom-left corner of the main dashboard.
Step 2: navigate to your subscription and billing settings
Once you access settings, locate the Account Settings or Subscription Management section, which houses all your active billing information.
- Select "Account Settings" from the settings menu.
- Look for a "Subscriptions," "Billing," or "Memberships" tab within Account Settings.

After you confirm the cancellation, the application should display a confirmation message on screen and send an email receipt to your registered email address within 24 hours.
- Screenshot the on-screen confirmation message immediately.
- Note the exact date and time of cancellation shown on your screen.
- Check your email inbox (including spam folders) for the cancellation receipt within 24 hours.
- Forward this email to yourself or save it as a PDF for your records.

Apple App Store manages billing for GearUp Booster subscriptions purchased on iOS devices, so you must cancel through Apple's own subscription management portal, not within the GearUp app itself.

- Screenshot the confirmation screen.
- Google Play will send a cancellation confirmation email to your registered Google account email address.
Cancelling GearUp booster purchases from the web shop
Web shop purchases fall under Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act, which grants you a 14-day cooling-off right on distance contracts, including hardware orders and codes.
Step 1: identify your purchase and cancellation window
Check your purchase confirmation email to determine your purchase date and the end of your 14-day cancellation window.
- Locate the original order confirmation email from GearUp.
- Note the purchase date clearly.
- Calculate 14 calendar days forward from the purchase date.

- State: "I wish to cancel my order [insert order number] placed on [insert purchase date] under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act."
- Include your full name, email address, and phone number.
- Keep your language clear and factual.
Step 3: submit your cancellation via registered mail
GearUp Booster's cancellation policy specifies that you must submit cancellation requests by registered mail to their official address. This method creates a dated, traceable record of your cancellation request.
- Print your cancellation notice or prepare it for physical submission.
- Address it to GearUp Booster's cancellation address (see Section 10 below for the full address).
- Send it via registered mail or courier service (such as PostalService Tracker or a private courier) to ensure a delivery confirmation receipt.
- Retain the postal receipt and tracking number.
- Send a copy of your cancellation notice via email simultaneously to GearUp's support team as a backup.
Step 4: await GearUp's refund confirmation
GearUp Booster must acknowledge your cancellation request and process your refund within 14 days of receiving it, as stipulated by Singapore law.
- Monitor your email for a response from GearUp within 5 working days.
- GearUp must confirm receipt of your cancellation and outline its refund timeline.
- Retain this email as proof of acknowledgment.
- If you receive no response within 5 working days, follow up by email and registered mail with a copy of your original cancellation notice.

How GearUp processes refunds to your account
GearUp Booster will refund your payment using the same method you used to purchase. If you paid by credit card, the refund will appear as a credit on your card statement within 5 to 10 business days. If you paid via a digital wallet or bank transfer, the refund will return to your registered account. Monitor your bank or card statements closely after submitting your cancellation request to confirm that the refund has been processed.
What to do after you cancel your GearUp booster subscription
Cancellation is only the first step; you must verify that your subscription has actually stopped and your refund has been processed.
Verify that billing has stopped
Check your subscription status and billing history to confirm that no further charges will be applied.
- Return to your account settings in the GearUp PC application or your app store subscription menu.
- Confirm that your subscription no longer appears in the active subscriptions list.
- If your subscription still appears, contact GearUp support immediately with your cancellation confirmation email.
Monitor your bank or card statement
Keep close watch on your payment method for the next 7 to 14 days to ensure that no unexpected charges appear.
- Check your credit card, debit card, or bank account online daily if possible.
- If you see a charge from GearUp after your cancellation date, contact your bank or card issuer immediately and dispute the transaction.
- Forward your cancellation confirmation email to your bank as evidence of your cancellation request.
Track your refund status
Refunds typically appear within 5 to 10 business days of cancellation. If you do not see your refund within 14 days, escalate the matter to GearUp support or your payment provider.
- Log into your bank or card account and search for a credit or incoming transfer labeled "GearUp" or similar.
- If the refund does not appear within 14 days, email GearUp with your cancellation confirmation and request a refund status update.
- If GearUp does not respond within 5 working days, file a complaint with CASE or the CCCS.
Common mistakes when cancelling GearUp booster
Cancellation mistakes can delay your refund or cause charges to continue. Here is what you must avoid:
Mistake 1: uninstalling the app without cancelling the subscription
Deleting or uninstalling the GearUp PC application does not automatically cancel your subscription. Your recurring charges will continue unless you explicitly cancel through the application settings before you uninstall. Always cancel first, then uninstall.
Mistake 2: missing the 14-day web shop cancellation window
The Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act grants you only 14 calendar days to cancel web shop purchases. After this period expires, your refund eligibility drops significantly. If you purchase hardware or codes on the web shop, mark your calendar 14 days ahead and cancel before that date passes.
Mistake 3: failing to retain cancellation confirmations
Without written proof of your cancellation request, GearUp can deny that you ever attempted to cancel. Always screenshot on-screen confirmations, save cancellation emails, and keep your registered mail receipt. These documents are essential if you need to escalate your complaint to CASE or the CCCS.
Mistake 4: cancelling through only one channel
If you subscribed through multiple channels (PC app, Apple App Store, and Google Play), you must cancel through each channel separately. Cancelling one does not affect the others. Check all your devices and app store accounts to ensure you have cancelled every active subscription.
Mistake 5: not following up if GearUp doesn't respond
If GearUp fails to acknowledge your cancellation request within 5 working days, follow up immediately by email and registered mail. Silence from GearUp is not acceptance; you must pursue the matter actively to enforce your rights.
