How to cancel Casting Networks in singapore: your complete legal guide
Understanding Casting Networks and your subscription
Casting Networks is a professional platform that connects performers, actors and creatives with casting directors across film, television, theatre and commercial projects throughout Asia-Pacific and beyond. The service allows you to build a professional profile, upload headshots and showreels, and submit directly to casting calls posted by industry professionals. You access these features through the web platform or mobile applications on iOS and Android.
The platform operates on a freemium model. A free tier provides basic profile creation, but premium membership unlocks advanced submission tools, priority profile visibility, and full mobile app functionality. Understanding your subscription type and billing cycle is essential before you initiate cancellation. Yafee specialises in helping performers and creatives navigate contractual obligations with entertainment platforms, and this guide will walk you through every step grounded in Singapore consumer law.
Why performers in singapore cancel Casting Networks
Many actors find that Casting Networks delivers most value during active audition seasons. If you are between projects, relocating, or simply not receiving relevant casting calls aligned with your profile, the monthly subscription becomes an unnecessary expense. Others cancel because they prefer competing platforms, feel overwhelmed by submission volumes, or want to consolidate their industry presence in a single location.
Before you cancel, you should know that your profile remains visible to casting directors even after your subscription ends. However, you lose the ability to submit to new casting opportunities and cannot access premium features once your billing cycle concludes. Refunds for user-initiated cancellations are generally unavailable, though Casting Networks may offer exceptions if they terminate your account on their side.
Key facts before you cancel
Your cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle. If you cancel mid-month, you retain access to premium features until your renewal date arrives. After cancellation, your profile data remains stored and visible, protecting your previous work exposure and industry presence. You cannot resubmit to castings, however, and cannot access submission analytics or advanced profile tools once your membership lapses.
Casting Networks pricing and membership breakdown
Understanding what you pay helps you decide whether cancellation saves money or whether a billing pause might serve your career better.
Current pricing in singapore dollars
Casting Networks displays pricing in multiple currencies depending on your subscription method and device. If you purchased through the iOS App Store in Singapore, you pay in SGD. The web platform typically shows USD, GBP, EUR or AUD pricing instead. Currency conversion rates apply if you subscribe via the web platform outside Singapore.

What premium membership includes
Your monthly payment unlocks unlimited casting submissions, priority profile visibility, advanced filtering tools and the full mobile app experience. You gain access to exclusive casting calls and higher placement in casting director search results. The free tier significantly limits your submission count and restricts app functionality to basic portfolio viewing only.
Should you cancel, pause or keep your Casting Networks subscription
Before you commit to cancellation, consider whether pausing or switching to the free tier better serves your current career stage.
Reasons to keep your subscription
If you are in an active audition phase, regularly receiving relevant casting calls, or building momentum with casting directors, maintaining your subscription protects your investment in profile visibility. The platform's priority placement algorithm favours active premium members, meaning your profile appears higher in casting director searches. Once you cancel, that visibility advantage disappears immediately.
Many performers find that short career breaks cost less to maintain than re-establishing visibility after cancellation. If you plan to return to active auditions within three to six months, the cumulative cost of maintaining your membership may be lower than the time and effort required to rebuild your profile ranking.
Reasons to cancel
Cancel your subscription if you are taking a genuine career break, relocating outside the platform's service areas, or shifting focus to non-acting work entirely. Cancellation makes financial sense if you are receiving no relevant casting calls after three consecutive months, or if you have committed to exclusive representation with an agency that prohibits independent submissions. If you have fully transitioned to a competing platform with better outcomes, cancellation eliminates redundant costs.
The pause option
Some platforms allow subscription pauses rather than full cancellation. Contact Casting Networks support directly to ask whether a pause option exists for your account type. A pause typically freezes your subscription without terminating your account, allowing you to reactivate within a defined window (often 6 to 12 months) without losing profile data or historical submission records.
How to cancel Casting Networks via your web account
Cancelling through your account dashboard is the fastest and most transparent method, providing immediate confirmation and a clear audit trail for your records.
Step one: sign in to your Casting Networks account
- Open a web browser and navigate to castingnetworks.com.
- Enter your registered email address and password in the login fields.
- If you have enabled two-factor authentication, complete that verification step.
- Once logged in, you should land on your profile dashboard or home feed.
Step two: locate your account settings and subscription menu
- Look for an account menu icon, typically represented by your profile picture or initials in the upper right corner of the screen.
- Click on that icon to open a dropdown menu.
- Select "Account Settings", "Settings" or "Profile Settings" depending on your interface version.
- Within settings, search for a section labelled "Subscription", "Billing", "Membership" or "Manage Subscription".
- If these sections do not appear in the main menu, scroll down the settings page or look for a "Billing and Payments" tab.
Step three: select the subscription cancellation option
- Once you locate your subscription section, identify a button or link that says "Cancel Subscription", "End Membership" or "Manage Subscription".
- Click that button.
- The platform will display a confirmation screen outlining your current billing cycle, the cancellation date and your final payment details.
- Read this confirmation carefully to ensure cancellation takes effect after your current cycle, not immediately.
Step four: confirm your cancellation and receive confirmation
- Click the final "Confirm Cancellation" or "Yes, cancel my membership" button.
- The platform will display a confirmation message stating your subscription has been cancelled and will end on a specific date.
- Casting Networks will send a confirmation email to your registered address within minutes.
- Save this email and take a screenshot of the confirmation screen for your records.
- Your profile will automatically revert to the free tier on the stated cancellation date.
Cancelling via iOS app store subscription management
If you subscribed through the iOS App Store in Singapore, you must cancel through Apple's subscription management system rather than the Casting Networks app itself.
Step one: access your iOS subscription settings
- On your iPhone or iPad, open the Settings app.
- Tap your Apple ID name at the top of the screen.
- Select "Subscriptions" from the menu.
- Locate "Casting Networks" in your active subscriptions list.
- Tap "Casting Networks" to open its subscription details.
Step two: initiate the cancellation process
- On the subscription details screen, look for a "Cancel Subscription" or similar option.
- Tap that option.
- Apple will present a confirmation screen with options to reconsider (offering discounts or incentives).
- Confirm your decision to cancel by selecting the final confirmation button.
- Apple will send an immediate confirmation email to your registered Apple ID address.
Your legal position under singapore consumer law
Your cancellation rights are protected under Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act, the primary legislation governing unfair contract terms and deceptive trading practices in Singapore. Under this Act, any subscription service must display cancellation terms clearly and in plain language before you purchase. The service provider cannot impose cancellation penalties that are unreasonably onerous or conceal material cancellation conditions in fine print.
Casting Networks must honour your cancellation request within a reasonable timeframe, typically no later than one billing cycle after you submit your cancellation. If the company refuses to cancel your subscription or charges you after cancellation, you retain the right to lodge a complaint with the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE), the statutory consumer protection authority that investigates unfair trading and enforces consumer rights. Yafee recommends documenting every step of your cancellation attempt, including screenshots of your account settings, confirmation emails and billing records, to support any dispute with CASE if it becomes necessary.
Your legal position: You have the right to cancel any subscription service at any time before the next billing cycle without penalty. Any contract term that prevents cancellation, imposes hidden fees on cancellation, or requires you to contact a physical address via post (rather than offering digital cancellation) may breach the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act. If Casting Networks refuses a valid cancellation request, CASE will investigate and can compel the company to process your cancellation and issue refunds if appropriate.
What happens after your Casting Networks cancellation
Your account enters a transition period between cancellation and the end of your billing cycle, during which your membership status changes.
Access during your notice period
Between cancellation and your final billing date, you retain full access to all premium features you have already paid for. You can continue submitting to casting calls, viewing your submission history and accessing the mobile app. This period typically lasts until your next scheduled renewal date, ensuring you receive full value for your final payment.
What happens on your cancellation date
On the date your final billing cycle ends, your account automatically reverts to the free tier. You lose the ability to submit to new casting calls and cannot access submission analytics, advanced filters or the full mobile app. Your profile and all historical data remain intact and visible to casting directors, protecting your past work exposure.
Reactivating your subscription later
If you change your mind within 30 days of cancellation, you can reactivate your subscription through your account settings or the iOS App Store without losing profile data or submission history. After 30 days, your profile may lose some visibility metrics, though the profile itself remains recoverable.
Refund policy and when you can claim a refund
Casting Networks does not issue refunds for user-initiated cancellations made within the same billing cycle as purchase, in accordance with standard entertainment industry practice. Your cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle, meaning you retain premium access through your final paid date.
When refunds are possible
Refunds may be available in limited circumstances. If Casting Networks terminates your account due to a breach of their terms of service, they may issue a pro-rata refund for the unused portion of your billing cycle. If you cancel within seven days of purchase under Singapore's Distance Selling Regulations, you may qualify for a full refund, though this applies only to new subscriptions and not renewals.
If you believe you have grounds for a refund-such as a billing error, duplicate charges, or a service outage that prevented you from using premium features-contact Casting Networks support directly within 14 days of the charge. Provide documentation including your transaction receipt, screenshots of the problem and a clear explanation of why you believe a refund applies. If Casting Networks denies your refund claim and you believe the denial is unfair under consumer law, escalate your complaint to CASE with copies of all correspondence.
Disputing charges with your payment provider
If Casting Networks continues charging you after you cancel, contact your bank or credit card provider immediately and request a chargeback. Provide your cancellation confirmation email and screenshots of your account settings showing cancellation status. Your bank can dispute the unauthorised charge and recover the funds within 60 to 90 days. Yafee advises reporting such cases to CASE simultaneously, as repeated unauthorised charges may trigger an investigation into Casting Networks' billing practices across multiple consumers.
Common cancellation mistakes to avoid
Cancellation is straightforward, but a few missteps can complicate your exit or leave you vulnerable to continued charges. Stay organised and document everything.
Mistake one: assuming app deletion equals cancellation
Deleting the Casting Networks app from your phone does not cancel your subscription. Your iOS or web subscription continues to renew automatically, and you will be charged at your next billing date. You must explicitly cancel through your account settings or iOS subscription menu. Yafee regularly advises performers who deleted the app thinking they had cancelled, only to discover unexpected charges months later.
Mistake two: cancelling without documenting confirmation
If you receive no confirmation email after cancelling, take a screenshot of your account settings showing "Subscription: Inactive" or "Membership: Cancelled". This screenshot serves as your proof of cancellation if Casting Networks continues to bill you. Email that screenshot to your own address as a timestamped record. Without documentation, you cannot dispute unauthorised charges or escalate to CASE effectively.
Mistake three: ignoring a cancellation confirmation with a future date
If your cancellation confirmation states "Your subscription will end on 15 March 2025", you remain a paying subscriber until that date. You retain premium access and will be charged one final time on that date. Do not assume you have been cancelled immediately. Mark your calendar for the cancellation date so you are not surprised by a final charge.
Mistake four: not checking for auto-renewal clauses
Some subscription tiers or promotional offers include automatic renewal provisions. If you signed up for a discounted or promotional membership, that plan may automatically revert to a standard monthly plan at full price after the promotional period ends. Review your subscription details before cancelling to understand whether any automatic renewal terms apply. If you object to automatic renewal, contact Casting Networks support in writing and request removal from the auto-renewal programme before cancelling.
If you encounter problems cancelling online or believe Casting Networks has violated your consumer rights, use these escalation routes.
Direct contact with Casting Networks support
Visit castingnetworks.com and locate their "Help" or "Support" section. Submit a ticket describing your cancellation problem and include your account email. Casting Networks support typically responds within two business days. If your cancellation is stuck or you are being billed after cancellation, explicitly state "I am requesting immediate cancellation of my subscription effective immediately" and ask for written confirmation within 24 hours.
Escalation to singapore consumer authorities
If Casting Networks refuses to cancel your subscription or continues billing you after cancellation, file a complaint with the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE):
- Website: www.case.org.sg
- Telephone: 6100 0315 (Monday to Friday, 9 am to 5 pm)
- Address: 170 Ghim Moh Road, Hock Lee Building, Singapore 279621
Include your cancellation confirmation email, account screenshots and all correspondence with Casting Networks. CASE will investigate at no cost to you and may compel Casting Networks to process your cancellation and issue refunds. The investigation typically takes 4 to 8 weeks.
Understanding how Casting Networks' cancellation terms compare to competitors helps you decide whether to cancel or transition your portfolio.

If you are migrating to a competing platform, create your new profile and begin submitting there before you cancel Casting Networks. This ensures no gap in your casting visibility. Many performers maintain memberships on two to three platforms simultaneously to maximise their reach. The cost of maintaining Casting Networks while building presence elsewhere is often lower than re-establishing visibility after a full cancellation.
