Frequently asked questions
Cancel Geoguessr: The Right Way
How to cancel Geoguessr in south africa: your complete legal guide
Understanding Geoguessr and your subscription rights in south africa
Geoguessr is a browser-based geography game that challenges you to identify real-world locations using Street View imagery. You subscribe to unlock premium features across the web platform and mobile apps, paying monthly in South African Rand. The service engages geography enthusiasts and casual players alike, yet if the Pro plan no longer fits your needs or budget, you have clear cancellation rights under South African consumer law.
Your legal position rests on the Consumer Protection Act, 68 of 2008 (the CPA), which grants you the right to cancel distance transactions-including online subscriptions-within 14 calendar days without penalty. Furthermore, Geoguessr AB must allow you to cancel your recurring subscription at any time after the initial cooling-off period ends. Yafee has guided thousands of South African consumers through subscription cancellations, ensuring you understand both your rights and the practical steps to exercise them.
How Geoguessr charges you
Your subscription method determines where you cancel. If you signed up directly on the Geoguessr website, you manage your subscription through your Geoguessr account dashboard. If you purchased through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, the app store handles billing and cancellation independently. This distinction is critical: deleting the Geoguessr app does not stop payments. You must cancel through the platform that charged you, whether that is Geoguessr directly or your app store.
Current Geoguessr pricing in south africa
Geoguessr offers three paid tiers, with pricing converted to South African Rand. The table below shows what you pay each month and what features each plan unlocks.
| Plan name | Approximate monthly cost (ZAR) | Key features | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pro Basic | R95.00 | Custom maps, 5 daily challenges | Casual players |
| Pro Unlimited | R133.00 | Unlimited daily challenges, custom maps | Regular players |
| Pro Elite | R209.00 | All features, priority support, exclusive maps | Competitive players |
Prices shown are estimates based on current USD conversion rates. Confirm your actual charges by checking your Geoguessr account settings or your app store receipt, as exchange rates fluctuate regularly and local pricing may differ.
Why you might cancel Geoguessr
You have valid reasons to cancel, and understanding them helps you make an informed decision.
Budget constraints and subscription fatigue
Monthly subscription costs accumulate quickly. If Geoguessr is one of several gaming or entertainment subscriptions, cutting back makes financial sense. Yafee sees thousands of South African consumers reassess their subscriptions monthly to free up funds for priorities.
Loss of interest or infrequent use
Your gaming habits change over time. If you no longer play regularly or complete daily challenges, your subscription no longer delivers value. Cancelling redirects that money to services you actually use.
Discovery of free alternatives
You may find free geography games or free versions of Geoguessr that meet your needs equally well. Paying for premium features you no longer use wastes your money.
Technical problems or poor experience
Game lag, app crashes, or features that do not work as advertised frustrate many players. If customer support has not resolved your concerns within a reasonable timeframe, cancelling and reconsidering later is entirely fair.
How to cancel Geoguessr on the web
If you subscribed directly through the Geoguessr website (not via an app store), follow these steps to cancel your Pro plan. Your access continues until the end of your current billing period, and you receive no refund for unused time unless you qualify for the 14-day cooling-off period.
Step 1: sign in to your Geoguessr account
- Open your web browser and visit geoguessr.com.
- Click the "Sign In" button, usually in the top right corner.
- Enter your account email address and password.
- If you forgot your password, click "Forgot password" and follow the reset email sent to your inbox.
- Confirm you see your profile name and avatar after sign-in.
Step 2: navigate to your account settings
- Click your profile icon or avatar in the top right corner of the page.
- Select "Settings" or "Account settings" from the dropdown menu.
- You may see options like "Preferences", "Account", or "Subscription"-look for any menu item related to your account.
- Wait for the settings page to load completely.
Step 3: locate your subscription or billing section
- On the settings page, scroll down to find a section titled "Subscription", "Billing", or "Your Plan".
- Look for a button or link that says "Manage subscription", "View subscription", or "Cancel subscription".
- If you see a "Subscription" header with your current plan name and renewal date, click on it.
- Review your current plan and renewal date to confirm you are in the correct section.
Step 4: initiate the cancellation
- Click the "Cancel subscription" button or link.
- Geoguessr may ask you to confirm your cancellation or select a reason (this is optional feedback, not a barrier to cancellation).
- Select a reason if you wish, or skip this step.
- Click "Confirm cancellation" or "Yes, cancel my subscription".
Step 5: save your cancellation confirmation
- You will see a confirmation message: "Your subscription has been cancelled" or similar.
- Take a screenshot of this confirmation for your records.
- This proves you cancelled on a specific date, protecting you if disputes arise.
- Check your email for a cancellation confirmation from Geoguessr within 24 hours.
- If you do not receive a confirmation email, contact Geoguessr support immediately.
How to cancel Geoguessr on mobile via apple app store
If you subscribe through the Apple App Store, you manage cancellation through your Apple account, not through Geoguessr directly.
Step 1: open your apple account settings
- On your iPhone or iPad, open the Settings app.
- Tap your name at the top of the screen.
- If you do not see your name, ensure you are signed in to iCloud with your Apple ID.
- Select "Subscriptions".
Step 2: find Geoguessr in your subscription list
- You will see a list of all active subscriptions linked to your Apple ID.
- Scroll down and tap "Geoguessr".
Step 3: cancel the subscription
- Tap "Cancel subscription" at the bottom of the screen.
- Apple may offer a discounted rate to retain you-you can decline this offer.
- Confirm your cancellation when prompted.
- You will see a message: "You have cancelled your subscription to Geoguessr".
Step 4: verify cancellation
- Return to the Subscriptions page in Settings.
- Tap "Geoguessr" again to confirm the status now reads "Expired" or "Cancelled".
- Take a screenshot for your records.
How to cancel Geoguessr on mobile via google play store
If you subscribe through Google Play, you manage cancellation through your Google account and the Google Play app.
Step 1: 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.
- This is usually a circle with your initial or profile picture.
- Select "Manage your Google Account".
Step 2: navigate to subscriptions
- Tap the "Payments and subscriptions" tab at the top.
- Select "Subscriptions".
Step 3: find and cancel Geoguessr
- Scroll through your active subscriptions and tap "Geoguessr".
- Tap "Cancel subscription".
- Google Play may show you a retention offer or ask why you are cancelling-these are optional prompts and do not prevent cancellation.
- Confirm your cancellation when prompted.
Step 4: verify and record the cancellation
- You will see a confirmation message: "You have cancelled your subscription to Geoguessr".
- Take a screenshot or note the cancellation date.
- Return to your subscriptions list to confirm Geoguessr no longer appears under active subscriptions.
Your legal right to cancel and consumer protection in south africa
The Consumer Protection Act, 68 of 2008 (CPA), is the primary legal framework protecting you as a South African consumer. It grants you specific cancellation rights that Geoguessr AB must honour.
The 14-day cooling-off period
If you purchased your Geoguessr subscription online and signed the contract at a distance (meaning you did not sign face-to-face), you have 14 calendar days from the date of purchase to cancel without penalty. During this period, Geoguessr must refund your payment in full. This right is automatic-you do not need Geoguessr's permission or approval to exercise it. Yafee recommends you cancel within this window if you change your mind, as it guarantees a refund.
Cancellation rights after the cooling-off period
After 14 days, you retain the right to cancel your recurring subscription at any time. However, you may not receive a refund for the current billing period unless Geoguessr has breached the Consumer Protection Act. The company must allow you to cancel easily and at no additional cost. If Geoguessr makes cancellation deliberately difficult (for example, hiding the cancel button or requiring you to telephone), that conduct violates Section 62(1) of the CPA, which prohibits unfair contract terms.
Your legal position
You have the right to cancel Geoguessr at any time under Section 5(3) of the CPA. Geoguessr AB must provide you with a simple, cost-free cancellation mechanism-usually a button in your account settings. If the company refuses to cancel your subscription, fails to honour your cancellation within a reasonable timeframe (typically 5 business days), or continues charging you after you cancel, you can lodge a complaint with the Consumer Commission (the National Consumer Commission, or NCC) at [email protected]. The NCC investigates violations of the CPA and can order refunds and penalties against the company.
What happens after you cancel Geoguessr
Understanding the post-cancellation timeline helps you avoid confusion and track your account correctly.
Your access during the current billing period
You keep full access to Geoguessr Pro features until the end of your current billing period. If your billing date is the 15th of each month and you cancel on the 20th, you retain access until the 15th of the next month. You do not receive a pro-rata refund-you already paid for that period when you subscribed.
What happens when your billing period ends
On the day after your current billing period ends, Geoguessr downgrades your account to the free version. You can still play, but you lose access to premium features like custom maps, additional daily challenges, and priority support. You do not need to do anything; this downgrade happens automatically.
Preventing accidental resubscription
Resubscription is rare but can happen if you re-enable the payment method accidentally or if you purchase gift credits. Check your account settings 30 days after cancellation to confirm your subscription remains inactive. If Geoguessr has re-charged you without your consent, contact support immediately and request a refund within 14 days of the charge. If support refuses, escalate to the NCC.
Deleting your account versus cancelling your subscription
Cancelling your subscription does not delete your account. Your profile, statistics, and game history remain in Geoguessr's system. If you wish to delete all your personal data, contact Geoguessr support separately and request account deletion. Yafee notes that account deletion is a separate process from subscription cancellation and may take 30 days to complete.
Refund eligibility and how to claim a refund
Your refund eligibility depends on when you cancel relative to your purchase date.
Refunds within 14 days of purchase
If you cancel within 14 calendar days of your first charge, you qualify for a full refund under the CPA. Geoguessr must process this refund within 15 business days of your cancellation request. The refund goes back to your original payment method (credit card, debit card, or app store account).
Refunds after 14 days
After the 14-day cooling-off period, you do not automatically qualify for a refund unless Geoguessr has breached the contract or failed to deliver the service. However, the company may offer a pro-rata refund (a partial refund for unused time) at its discretion. If the game crashes frequently or key features do not work, you may have grounds for a partial refund. Contact Geoguessr support with evidence of the problem and request a refund.
How to request a refund directly
- Visit Geoguessr's support page or email [email protected].
- Explain that you cancelled within 14 days and request a full refund.
- Include your purchase date, order number, and the date you cancelled.
- Attach screenshots of your cancellation confirmation.
- Geoguessr support will respond within 5 business days and process the refund if you qualify.
How to claim a refund through your payment provider
If Geoguessr does not refund you within 15 business days, you can claim a chargeback through your bank or card issuer. Contact your bank, provide evidence of your cancellation (screenshots), and request a chargeback for the Geoguessr charge. Your bank will investigate and recover the funds within 7-21 days if the claim is valid.
How to escalate a refund dispute to the national consumer commission
If Geoguessr refuses your refund or your bank's chargeback fails, lodge a formal complaint with the NCC. Visit www.thencc.org.za or email [email protected]. The NCC investigates for free and can order Geoguessr to refund you and pay a penalty. Include all evidence: screenshots of cancellation, your 14-day cooling-off period proof, and copies of your payment receipts.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling Geoguessr
Cancellation is straightforward, yet small oversights can complicate the process-reassure yourself by following these warnings.
Deleting the app instead of cancelling the subscription
Many users delete the Geoguessr app and assume their subscription ends. It does not. Geoguessr continues to charge your payment method monthly even after you uninstall. Always cancel your subscription through your account settings or app store before deleting the app.
Cancelling through the wrong platform
If you subscribed via the Apple App Store, you must cancel through Apple Settings-not through Geoguessr.com. Attempting to cancel in the wrong place leaves your subscription active. Confirm which platform charged you by checking your bank or credit card statement. Look for "Geoguessr", "Apple Media Services", or "Google Play" in the transaction description.
Missing the 14-day cooling-off deadline
The 14-day cancellation window starts on the date you made your first purchase, not on the date your first billing period ends. Mark your calendar immediately after subscribing to avoid this deadline. If you cancel on day 16 or later, you lose your automatic refund right, and Geoguessr may charge you for the current billing period with no refund.
Not saving proof of cancellation
Do not assume a cancellation confirmation email will arrive. Take a screenshot of the confirmation page immediately after cancelling. This screenshot becomes your proof if a dispute arises. Store it in a safe folder on your computer or cloud storage.
Ignoring follow-up charges after cancellation
If Geoguessr charges you after you cancel, contact them immediately. Every day you delay weakens your claim. Yafee recommends you monitor your bank or card statements for 30 days after cancelling to catch any errant charges before they compound.
Comparison: cancellation methods and timelines
The table below summarises the cancellation method, processing time, and refund eligibility for each subscription route.
| Subscription source | Cancellation location | Processing time | Refund eligible (within 14 days)? | Recommended? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Geoguessr.com (web) | Account Settings > Subscription | Instant | Yes | Most direct |
| Apple App Store | iPhone Settings > Your Name > Subscriptions | Instant | Yes | Easy on iOS |
| Google Play Store | Google Play app > Profile > Subscriptions | Instant | Yes | Easy on Android |
Staying in touch: should you keep Geoguessr or go?
Before you cancel, consider whether a temporary pause might suit you better.
Why cancellation makes sense
Cancel if you have not logged in for more than a month, if you cannot afford the monthly cost, or if you have found a free geography game that satisfies you equally. Cancellation frees up ZAR 95 to ZAR 209 monthly, and you can resubscribe later if your interest returns. Yafee advises that cancellation is reversible and carries no penalty.
Why you might reconsider
If you play casually (one to two times weekly), the pro-rata cost per game is minimal. Pro Basic at R95 monthly costs roughly R3 per game if you play 30 times monthly. If you enjoy the custom maps and daily challenges, the cost may be justified. Decide based on your actual playtime, not potential playtime.
