Frequently asked questions
Cancel Postcode Lottery: Your Complete Guide
How to cancel Postcode Lottery in singapore and stop recurring charges
What Postcode Lottery is and why you should cancel
Postcode Lottery is a subscription-based lottery service that charges you recurring fees in exchange for automatic entries into draws linked to your postal code. A portion of proceeds nominally supports charitable causes. You commit to regular payments-typically weekly or monthly-and receive entries that renew automatically unless you actively cancel.
Many subscribers in Singapore discover that the odds of meaningful returns are heavily weighted against their favour, or that their financial circumstances have changed and the recurring cost no longer fits their budget. At Yafee, we recognise that understanding your cancellation rights and executing them correctly is essential to avoiding surprise charges and protecting your account. This guide provides a methodical, legally grounded pathway to cancel Postcode Lottery with confidence and finality.
How Postcode Lottery subscriptions work in singapore
When you subscribe to Postcode Lottery, you enrol through one or more channels: the official website, a mobile app, telephone, or postal mail. Each channel operates independently, which means cancelling through one channel does not automatically cancel your subscription across others. The service renews your subscription on a rolling basis-weekly or monthly depending on your chosen plan-and continues to charge your payment method until you formally cancel.
The subscription ties your entries to your postcode, meaning your eligibility is determined by where you live. Draws occur on scheduled dates, and any entries you have paid for before the draw closes remain valid even if you cancel after that point. No refund applies to entries already consumed in a draw.
Why consumers cancel Postcode Lottery
Subscribers cancel for several documented reasons: consistently low returns relative to spending, financial hardship or budget tightening, scepticism about claimed charitable proceeds, or simply concluding that lottery participation does not align with their personal savings and investment strategy. Your reason for cancelling is yours alone, and your right to cancel is absolute under Singapore consumer law.
Your consumer rights under singapore law
Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act establishes your legal foundation for cancelling subscriptions and disputing unauthorised charges.
Legal framework: the consumer protection (Fair trading) act
The Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act (CPFTA) prohibits unfair trading practices, including misleading statements about refund policies, odds of winning, or the charitable allocation of funds. When you cancel a subscription, the provider has a legal obligation to honour that cancellation request without undue delay. Continuing to charge you after you have communicated a valid cancellation request is an unfair practice that breaches the CPFTA.
Lottery entries themselves are generally non-refundable once a draw period has begun, because they are considered consumed products. However, if you cancel before a draw closes, any entries you have already paid for remain valid for that draw only. No new entries will be generated or charged after your cancellation takes effect.
Your legal position: You have the right to cancel at any time without penalty or loss of future refunds, except for entries already used in draws. The provider must confirm cancellation in writing and cease all charges within 14 days of receiving your cancellation request. If they continue to charge you, you can dispute the charge through your bank, credit card issuer, or escalate to the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE).
Escalation routes if cancellation is refused
If Postcode Lottery ignores your cancellation request or continues billing after you have cancelled, you have formal escalation options. First, contact your credit card issuer or bank and request a chargeback or dispute of unauthorised transactions. Second, lodge a formal complaint with the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE), which investigates breaches of fair trading law and can pressure the provider to refund you.
Yafee recommends keeping written records-email confirmations, screenshots of your account portal, and copies of any written cancellation requests-so you have a complete audit trail if escalation becomes necessary. This evidence strengthens your position when disputing charges or filing a complaint with CASE.
Methods to cancel Postcode Lottery: choose the right path
Postcode Lottery operates through multiple subscription channels, and you must cancel through each one separately if you subscribed via more than one route.
Cancellation channels and their speed
| Channel | Cancellation method | Processing time | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Online account portal | Log in, find Settings or My Account, select Cancel Subscription | Immediate | Fastest option; instant confirmation |
| Mobile app | Open app, navigate to account settings, select Cancel | Immediate | Convenient if you subscribed via app |
| Email to support | Email cancellation request to official support address | 3-7 working days | Creates written record; good for disputes |
| Postal mail (Edinburgh) | Write to trading address in Edinburgh with your details and request | 7-14 working days | Most formal; use if digital channels fail |
| Telephone | Call customer support and request cancellation | Immediate (verbal); 2-3 days (written confirmation) | Fastest for verbal confirmation; request written follow-up |
Step-by-step cancellation via online portal
The online account portal is the fastest cancellation method because it takes effect immediately and provides instant confirmation.
- Log in to your Postcode Lottery account using your email address and password.
- If you cannot remember your password, use the "Forgot Password" link on the login page to reset it.
- Navigate to your account settings or profile page.
- Look for a menu option labelled "My Account", "Settings", "Subscription", or "Billing".
- Locate the subscription management or cancellation section.
- You should see your current subscription status and a button or link to "Cancel Subscription", "Stop Payments", or "Manage Subscription".
- Select the option to cancel your subscription.
- The system may ask you to confirm your cancellation or select a reason. You are not obliged to explain your reason, but providing one can help the provider improve their service.
- Confirm the cancellation when prompted.
- The system will display a confirmation message. Screenshot this page for your records.
- Check your email for a cancellation confirmation message from Postcode Lottery.
- This email should state the date your cancellation takes effect and confirm that no further charges will apply. If you do not receive this email within 24 hours, contact support to verify your cancellation was processed.
Step-by-step cancellation via email
Cancellation by email creates a formal written record, which is valuable if you need to escalate a dispute with CASE or your bank.
- Draft a clear cancellation email that includes your full name, account email address, and date of birth (if required).
- Subject line example: "Cancellation of Postcode Lottery Subscription - Urgent"
- Body: "I hereby request the immediate cancellation of my Postcode Lottery subscription effective today. Please confirm this cancellation in writing and confirm that no further charges will be applied to my account."
- Send the email to the official support email address listed on the Postcode Lottery website or your account statement.
- Do not send to a general inquiry email; use the dedicated subscription support address if available.
- Send the email via a method that provides proof of delivery (e.g., registered mail through your email provider or a tracked service).
- Gmail, Outlook, and other major providers allow you to request read receipts, which prove the provider received your email.
- Wait for a written response confirming your cancellation.
- Postcode Lottery must respond within 3-7 working days. If they do not, follow up with a second email referencing your first request and state that you expect confirmation within 48 hours.
- Save the confirmation email and all related correspondence.
- Create a folder on your computer or in your email account labelled "Postcode Lottery Cancellation" and keep every message, screenshot, and confirmation.
Step-by-step cancellation via postal mail
Postal mail is the most formal method and is essential if online and email methods have failed or if you require the strongest legal record.
- Prepare a cancellation letter on plain paper that includes your name, full address, telephone number, email address, and account details (if known).
- Example text: "I request immediate cancellation of my Postcode Lottery subscription. Please confirm this cancellation in writing and confirm the effective date. No further charges should be applied after cancellation takes effect."
- Address the letter to the trading address in Edinburgh provided by Postcode Lottery.
- The trading address is the correct destination for cancellation requests. Do not send to the registered office in Birmingham.
- Send the letter via registered mail or tracked courier.
- Use a service such as Singapore Post with proof of delivery, so you can confirm the letter was received.
- Expect a written response within 7-14 working days.
- If you do not receive a response, send a follow-up letter and simultaneously file a complaint with CASE (Consumers Association of Singapore).
- Keep copies of your letter, the tracking number, and the delivery confirmation.
- These documents form your evidence trail if you need to escalate to CASE or dispute charges through your bank.
Understanding refunds and what happens after cancellation
Your refund entitlement depends on the timing of your cancellation and the status of any unpaid draws.
When you are entitled to a refund
You are entitled to a refund for payments made before the current billing period if you cancel before that period's draw closes. However, once a draw closes, entries in that draw are consumed and non-refundable. For example, if you pay SGD 10 for a monthly subscription on 1 September and the draw closes on 30 September, you forfeit your SGD 10 if you cancel on 29 September after the draw has begun.
If you cancel mid-cycle (for example, on the 15th of a month when you pay monthly on the 1st), you may be entitled to a pro-rata refund for the unused portion of that billing period. Postcode Lottery should calculate and process this refund within 14 days of your cancellation request.
What to expect after your cancellation takes effect
Once your cancellation is confirmed, no new entries will be generated, and no charges will be applied to your payment method. However, any entries you have already paid for and that relate to future draws-if the draw has not yet closed-remain valid and will be entered on your behalf automatically.
You should verify that no charges appear on your next billing cycle. Log back into your account a few days after cancellation to confirm your subscription status shows as "Cancelled" or "Inactive". If charges continue, contact your bank immediately and file a dispute for unauthorised transactions.
Common mistakes when cancelling Postcode Lottery
Cancellation is straightforward if you follow a clear process, but small oversights can leave you vulnerable to continued charges.
Mistake 1: cancelling through only one channel
If you subscribed through both the website and the mobile app, cancelling through only one channel leaves your other subscription active. You must cancel separately through every channel you used to subscribe. After cancelling through the website, log into the app and cancel there as well. Then verify that both show as inactive.
Mistake 2: not keeping confirmation records
Many subscribers cancel but do not retain screenshots or emails confirming the cancellation. If disputes arise later, you have no evidence. Save every confirmation email, screenshot account pages showing "Cancelled" status, and keep copies of postal delivery receipts. Yafee recommends creating a dedicated folder for all cancellation-related documents.
Mistake 3: assuming verbal confirmation is final
If you cancel by telephone, the agent will give you a verbal confirmation, but this is not binding unless you also receive written confirmation by email or post within 3 days. Always request the agent to send a written confirmation email immediately after the call. If it does not arrive, follow up by email within 24 hours referencing the call date and agent name.
Mistake 4: not monitoring your bank statement
Do not assume cancellation is complete until you have verified that no charges appear on your next billing cycle. Set a reminder to check your credit card or bank statement 5-7 days after your cancellation confirmation. If Postcode Lottery has charged you again, immediately contact your bank to dispute the transaction.
Pricing and subscription costs in singapore
Understanding what you are paying for helps clarify why you might want to cancel.
| Subscription plan | Frequency | Cost (SGD) | Annual cost if uninterrupted |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard (weekly entry) | Weekly | SGD 10-12 | SGD 520-624 |
| Standard (monthly entry) | Monthly | SGD 35-45 | SGD 420-540 |
| Premium (multiple entries) | Weekly or monthly | SGD 20-50+ | SGD 240-600+ |
These costs accumulate quickly. A weekly subscription at SGD 10 costs over SGD 500 per year. If you are cancelling because you have not seen meaningful returns after 6-12 months of subscription, your cancellation preserves hundreds of dollars that might otherwise vanish into draws with heavily skewed odds.
Checklist before and after cancellation
Use this checklist to ensure you have covered every step and that your cancellation is permanent and final.
Pre-cancellation checklist
- Note the date you plan to cancel and the current date of your next scheduled charge.
- Log into your account and verify your subscription status and payment method on file.
- Identify all channels through which you subscribed (website, app, phone, mail).
- Find the correct email address or postal address for Postcode Lottery support and cancellation requests.
- Take screenshots of your subscription details page before you cancel, so you have a record of what existed before cancellation.
Post-cancellation checklist
- Confirm that you have received a written cancellation confirmation email within 3 days of your cancellation request.
- Log into your account 2-3 days after cancellation and verify that your subscription status shows as "Cancelled", "Inactive", or "Closed".
- Check your bank statement or credit card 5-7 days after the next scheduled billing date to confirm that no charge has been applied.
- If a charge appears, immediately contact your bank or credit card issuer and file a dispute for unauthorised transaction.
- Keep all cancellation confirmation emails, screenshots, tracking numbers, and correspondence in a dedicated folder for 12 months.
