How to cancel Sooka in singapore and protect your streaming rights
Understanding Sooka and why you might want to cancel
Sooka is a subscription streaming service that delivers live sports, television shows, and on-demand video content to your devices through web and mobile platforms. If the service no longer aligns with your entertainment needs, or if you want to pause your subscription temporarily, cancelling is straightforward once you follow the correct procedure. At Yafee, we help thousands of Singapore consumers navigate subscription cancellations every month, and we guide you through Sooka's process with clarity and confidence.
Your decision to cancel may stem from several practical reasons: you no longer watch the content regularly, the monthly or annual cost no longer fits your budget, or you prefer a different streaming platform. Whatever your reason, understanding Sooka's cancellation framework ensures you avoid unexpected charges and retain control over your account and billing cycle.
Where Sooka operates and how you pay
You access Sooka through three distinct channels: the official Sooka website (via the Astro payment gateway), the Apple App Store, or Google Play. Your billing method depends entirely on which platform you used to subscribe. Consequently, you must cancel on the same platform where you originally signed up, not on a different one. Understanding your subscription channel is the first critical step toward a smooth and final cancellation.
What Sooka offers and typical subscription structure
Sooka delivers recurring monthly or annual billing cycles that grant you access to live sports events, television series, and an extensive library of on-demand content. Your renewal date typically arrives 24 hours after you receive a billing reminder notification. Knowing your renewal date is critical because you must submit your cancellation request before that deadline to avoid being charged for the next billing period.
Your consumer rights in singapore when cancelling subscriptions
Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act protects you when you subscribe to digital services like Sooka, and understanding these rights empowers you to act confidently if disputes arise.
What the consumer protection (Fair trading) act means for you
Under Singapore law, consumers have the right to cancel digital subscriptions within reasonable timeframes, and traders must act fairly when processing those cancellations. The law covers unfair contract terms, misleading advertising, and non-delivery of services. If Sooka charges you after you cancel, or if they refuse to honour your cancellation request, you have legal grounds to dispute the charge with relevant authorities. At Yafee, we emphasise that you should always document your cancellation request and the date you submitted it, as this creates a clear record if you need to escalate your complaint.
Your legal position: You hold the right under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act to cancel your Sooka subscription and receive confirmation of that cancellation. If Sooka breaches this right by continuing to charge you, you can dispute the transaction with your payment provider or escalate to the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCCS) within a specified timeframe. You are not obligated to accept penalties for early termination if the cancellation falls within the reasonable cancellation window defined by law and Sooka's own terms.
When to escalate beyond Sooka support
If Sooka support does not resolve a billing dispute within 14 days, you can escalate to the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCCS). You can also dispute charges with your bank or payment provider (Apple, Google, or Astro) within 60 days of the transaction date. At Yafee, we recommend exhausting direct support channels first, but never hesitate to involve a consumer authority if you are charged unfairly after cancellation.
Cancelling via the Sooka website or Astro payment gateway is the most direct method if you subscribed through their official channels.
Step one: log in to your Sooka account
Open a web browser and navigate to the Sooka website or your Sooka account page. Sign in using your registered email address and password. If you have forgotten your password, use the "Forgot Password" link and follow the reset instructions sent to your email immediately.
Step two: access your account settings and subscription management
Once logged in, locate your Profile menu, usually positioned in the top-right corner or within a hamburger menu icon. Click on "Profile" or "Account Settings" depending on the current interface design. Find and select "Manage Subscription" or "Subscription Settings" within your profile area. This section displays your current plan, your next billing date, and your payment method on file.
Step three: initiate the cancellation request
Within the Subscription Settings panel, locate the "Cancel Subscription" or "End Subscription" button. Click this button to begin the cancellation workflow. Sooka may present you with a confirmation screen asking you to confirm your intention to cancel, or offering you a discounted rate to retain your subscription. Select the option to proceed with cancellation, not to accept any retention offer, unless you genuinely want to keep your access.
Step four: confirm cancellation and document your request
Sooka will display a final confirmation page stating that your subscription has been cancelled. This page may provide a cancellation confirmation number, a cancellation date, or both. Take a screenshot of this confirmation and record the date and time. This documentation protects you if Sooka disputes the cancellation later or continues to charge you. Email this screenshot to yourself or save it in a secure location.
Step five: verify your account status and check your email
Return to your account settings and confirm that your subscription status now reads "Cancelled" or "Inactive" rather than "Active". Check your email inbox for a cancellation confirmation message from Sooka. If you do not receive an email confirmation within 24 hours, contact Sooka support immediately with your cancellation confirmation number or screenshot to request written confirmation of your cancellation.
How to cancel Sooka on the apple app store
If you subscribed to Sooka through the Apple App Store, you must cancel through your Apple account, not through the Sooka app itself.
Step one: open apple account settings on your device
On your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, open the Settings app (on Apple devices) or navigate to the App Store and locate your account icon in the bottom-right corner. Tap "Account" to access your Apple ID settings. You may need to authenticate with your Apple ID password or Face ID.
Step two: navigate to subscription management
Select "Subscriptions" from the menu displayed. This section shows all active and expired subscriptions linked to your Apple ID. Scroll through the list and locate "Sooka" in the subscriptions list. Tap on the Sooka subscription entry to open its details panel.
Step three: confirm and cancel the subscription
On the Sooka subscription details page, you will see your billing date, your current plan, and your renewal price. Tap the "Cancel Subscription" or "Edit Subscription" button. Apple will ask you to confirm that you want to cancel. Select "Confirm Cancellation" and provide any reason Apple requests. Your cancellation becomes effective immediately, and your access continues until the end of the current billing period.
Step four: retrieve your cancellation confirmation
Apple displays a cancellation confirmation on screen. Take a screenshot and check your email for an Apple cancellation receipt. This receipt confirms the cancellation date and the date your access ends. If your current billing period extends to 15 February 2025, you retain access until 14 February 2025, after which your Sooka access terminates automatically.
How to cancel Sooka on google play
Google Play cancellations follow a similar process to the Apple App Store, but the interface differs slightly.
Step one: open the google play store app
On your Android device, open the Google Play Store app. Tap your profile icon in the top-right corner and select "Manage your Google Account" or "Payments and subscriptions" depending on your device's version.
Step two: access your subscription list
Navigate to the "Subscriptions" or "Manage subscriptions" section. Google Play displays all active subscriptions linked to your Google account. Locate "Sooka" in the list and tap it to open the subscription details.
Step three: cancel through google play
On the Sooka subscription page, tap "Cancel subscription". Google Play will ask you to confirm your cancellation and may offer you a discount or temporary pause as an alternative. Select "Cancel subscription" to confirm. Your cancellation takes effect immediately, and your access continues until the end of the current billing period.
Step four: obtain and store your confirmation
Google Play displays a cancellation confirmation on screen. Take a screenshot and check your email for a cancellation receipt from Google Play. This email serves as your proof of cancellation and is essential if you need to dispute any future charges from Sooka or Google.
Understanding your refund rights and what happens after cancellation
Refund eligibility depends on Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act and Sooka's specific terms, which Yafee recommends you review carefully before cancelling.
When Sooka may offer a refund
Sooka does not typically issue refunds for unused portions of your subscription, unless you cancel within a statutory cooling-off period (if one applies) or if Sooka fails to deliver the service you paid for. If Sooka's service becomes unavailable or degraded before your renewal date, you may have grounds to request a partial refund or credit. Document the service outage with screenshots and timestamps if this occurs.
Disputing unauthorised charges after cancellation
If Sooka charges you after your cancellation confirmation date, contact your payment provider (Apple, Google, Astro, or your bank) immediately and dispute the charge. Under consumer protection law in Singapore, you have the right to request a chargeback if a merchant continues to bill you after you have submitted a valid cancellation request. At Yafee, we advise you to initiate this dispute within 60 days of the unauthorised charge. Provide your cancellation confirmation number and screenshot as evidence of your cancellation.
Access during the notice period
You retain full access to Sooka until the end of your current billing period, even after you submit your cancellation request. If your renewal date is 28 February 2025 and you cancel on 20 February 2025, you can continue watching Sooka content until 27 February 2025. On 28 February 2025, your account access terminates automatically and you are not charged further.
Sooka pricing tiers and what you cancel
Understanding your current plan helps you confirm what you are cancelling and ensures you cancel the correct subscription if you hold multiple plans.
| Plan type |
Billing cycle |
Monthly price (SGD) |
Cancellation notice |
| Standard monthly |
Month-to-month |

| Premium monthly |

$99.90 (annual) |
Cancel anytime; no refund for unused months |
| Premium annual |
12 months |
$149.90 (annual) |
Cancel anytime; no refund for unused months |
If you subscribed to an annual plan and cancel after three months, Sooka does not refund the remaining nine months unless you qualify for a statutory cooling-off right or Sooka breaches its service obligation. Consequently, cancelling an annual plan early incurs an implicit cost in lost prepaid access. At Yafee, we recommend evaluating this cost before you cancel an annual subscription.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling Sooka
Cancelling your subscription is not complicated, but several common errors can trap you into unwanted charges or prolonged access loss.
Not cancelling on the same platform where you subscribed
If you subscribed through the Apple App Store, cancelling on the Sooka website will not work. Your subscription remains active on Apple, and Apple continues to charge you. You must cancel through the exact platform where you entered your payment method. Cross-platform confusion is the most frequent cause of failed cancellations at Yafee's experience base.
Uninstalling the app instead of cancelling the subscription
Deleting the Sooka app from your device does not cancel your subscription. Your subscription continues to renew, and your payment provider continues to charge you. Always cancel the subscription through your account settings or app store, not by deleting the app.
Missing the renewal deadline
If you intend to cancel before your next billing date, submit your cancellation at least 24 hours before that date to ensure processing time. If you cancel on the day your renewal is scheduled, Sooka or your payment provider may have already processed the charge. You will then need to dispute the charge with your payment provider.
Failing to document your cancellation
Always take a screenshot of your cancellation confirmation and save your confirmation email. Without this documentation, you cannot prove you cancelled if Sooka disputes your claim or continues to charge you. At Yafee, we have assisted consumers who recovered disputed charges by providing this evidence to CCCS.
Accepting promotional offers during cancellation
During the cancellation workflow, Sooka may offer you a one-month discount or a free trial to retain your subscription. If you do not intend to stay subscribed, reject these offers clearly and proceed with cancellation. Accepting a promotional offer may restart your cancellation process or commit you to a new billing cycle.
What to do after you cancel Sooka
Cancellation is final, but you remain responsible for monitoring your payment accounts and ensuring no further charges occur.
Monitor your payment accounts for unexpected charges
For the three months following your cancellation date, review your bank statement, Apple account statement, and Google Play account statement monthly. If you see any charge labelled "Sooka" or "Astro" after your cancellation confirmation date, report it immediately to your payment provider. At Yafee, we recommend setting a calendar reminder to check your statements on the first day of each month.
Contact Sooka support if you are charged after cancellation
If an unexpected charge appears, email Sooka support with your cancellation confirmation number, screenshot, and the date of the unwanted charge. Request an immediate refund and ask them to investigate why the charge occurred. Keep a copy of this email for your records.
Dispute the charge with your payment provider
If Sooka does not respond within 14 days, or if they refuse to refund the charge, contact your payment provider (your bank, Apple, or Google) and file a dispute. Provide your cancellation confirmation and the email correspondence with Sooka support. Your payment provider can reverse the charge on your behalf, typically within 7 to 10 business days.
Escalate to CCCS if the payment provider declines your dispute
If your bank or payment provider declines your chargeback request, you can file a complaint with the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCCS). CCCS investigates unfair trading practices and can compel Sooka to refund you if they determine the charge was unauthorised. At Yafee, we guide thousands of Singapore consumers through this escalation path every year, and CCCS takes subscription billing disputes seriously.
