Cancel Proguides: The Right Way

How to cancel Proguides and stop unwanted charges in canada

What Proguides is and why you might want to cancel

Proguides is an online gaming education and coaching platform where third-party coaches deliver live training sessions, guides, and on-demand content to help you improve at competitive games. You access the service through iOS and Android apps or their website, and your account renews automatically every billing cycle until you cancel. This means charges continue unless you take deliberate action to stop them.

If Proguides no longer fits your needs, the monthly fees feel too steep, the coaches miss sessions, or the content doesn't justify the cost, cancelling is your right as a consumer. At Tocancel, we help Canadian subscribers understand exactly how to stop these charges and recover what you're owed. This guide walks you through every cancellation method, refund options, and the consumer protections you have under Canadian law.

Common reasons canadians cancel Proguides

Subscribers typically cancel because coaches fail to show up for scheduled sessions, content quality doesn't match the subscription cost, unexpected charges appear due to auto-renewal, or the platform simply didn't deliver on its promises. Others discover cheaper alternatives, lose interest in gaming, or realize they don't have time to use the service. Tocancel recognizes that whatever your reason, you deserve a straightforward cancellation process without obstacles or delays.

Your consumer rights in canada before you cancel

Understanding your legal protections strengthens your position if Proguides resists your cancellation or disputes your refund claim.

Digital subscription protections under canadian law

Canada does not offer a universal 14-day cooling-off period for digital subscriptions the way European countries do. However, federal and provincial consumer protection laws give you specific rights. Under the Competition Act and provincial consumer protection legislation, Proguides must clearly disclose subscription terms, pricing, and auto-renewal policies before charging you. If the company misled you, charged you without clear consent, or failed to honour its stated cancellation terms, you have grounds to dispute the charge or demand a refund.

Your provincial consumer protection authority enforces these rules and will investigate complaints. In Ontario, contact the Ministry of Government and Consumer Services; in British Columbia, contact the Office of the Registrar of Mortgage Brokers and Consumer Services; in Alberta, the Fair Trading Act applies. Tocancel recommends saving all receipts, billing statements, and email confirmations before you escalate a dispute.

Chargeback protection through your bank

If Proguides refuses to cancel your account or ignores your refund request, you can file a chargeback with your credit card issuer or bank. A chargeback reverses the charge and forces the merchant to prove the transaction was legitimate. Canadian financial institutions will investigate claims that a charge was unauthorized or that the service was not delivered as promised. This process typically takes 30 to 90 days but protects you if Proguides won't cooperate. Your legal position here is strong: the bank's dispute resolution process is your safety net when a company ignores you.

How to cancel Proguides based on your subscription method

Your cancellation method depends entirely on which platform you used to subscribe: Apple App Store, Google Play, or the Proguides website.

Cancel Proguides through the apple app store (iOS)

If you subscribed using your iPhone or iPad, Apple manages your billing and refund eligibility, not Proguides directly. You must cancel through Apple's settings.

1. Open Settings on your iPhone or iPad
   • Tap your name at the very top of the screen
   • Select Subscriptions from the menu
2. Locate and tap Proguides in your active subscriptions list
3. Tap Cancel Subscription
4. Confirm your cancellation when Apple asks you to verify (Apple may require two confirmations)
5. Check that your status changes to Expires On [date] - this confirms cancellation is pending
6. Save a screenshot of the confirmation screen for your records

Apple will stop charging you after your current billing period ends. If you cancel mid-cycle, you retain access until that date. You can request a refund for the current billing period if Proguides failed to deliver the promised service - Apple grants refunds within 90 days of purchase if you have a valid reason.

Cancel Proguides through google play (Android)

Android users who subscribed through the Google Play Store must cancel through Google's billing system, not the Proguides app itself.

1. Open Google Play on your Android device
   • Tap your profile icon in the top right corner
   • Select Payments and Subscriptions
2. Tap Subscriptions from the menu
3. Find and select Proguides
4. Tap Cancel Subscription
5. Choose your reason for cancellation (Google asks this for feedback, but your choice doesn't affect the process)
6. Confirm the cancellation when prompted
7. Verify that the status shows Cancelled - save a screenshot

Google stops charging you immediately after cancellation, but you keep access through the end of your current billing cycle. Request a refund within 90 days if the service failed to meet Google Play's quality standards or if Proguides violated its terms.

Cancel Proguides on the website (direct billing)

If you subscribed directly through Proguides.com with a credit card, you must cancel through your account settings on the website.

1. Log into your Proguides account at proguides.com
   • Enter your email and password
   • If you forgot your password, use the password reset link
2. Navigate to Account Settings or Billing (usually under your profile menu)
3. Locate your active subscription and tap Manage Subscription or Cancel Plan
4. Select your reason for cancellation from the dropdown menu
5. Confirm the cancellation by clicking the final confirmation button
6. Check your email for a cancellation confirmation - you should receive this within 24 hours
7. Screenshot or download the confirmation email for your records

When you cancel on the website, Proguides will stop charging you after your current billing period. If the company fails to honour this cancellation within 5 business days, escalate immediately through Tocancel's chargeback guidance or contact your provincial consumer protection authority.

What to expect after you cancel Proguides

Cancellation doesn't mean instant access removal, and understanding the timeline prevents confusion.

Your access and refund timeline

After you cancel, you retain full access to Proguides until the end of your current billing period. No refund is issued for the remaining time in your cycle - this is standard across most subscription services. However, if you cancel within 14 days of your most recent charge, you may have grounds to request a refund if you can demonstrate that Proguides failed to deliver. Some provinces offer stronger protections: Quebec's Consumer Protection Act, for example, grants a 30-day cooling-off period for distance purchases.

Check for any additional charges in the 2 to 3 billing cycles after cancellation. If Proguides charges you again, this is a sign that your cancellation didn't register. Contact Tocancel immediately if this happens - you'll need documentation of your original cancellation and proof of the unwanted charge to file a dispute with your bank or credit card issuer.

Reactivating your account later

If you cancel now but want to rejoin Proguides in the future, you can simply log back in and restart your subscription at any time. Your previous data, bookmarks, and progress may still be accessible depending on how long you wait. Reactivation follows the same signup process as before.

Pricing and what you're paying for

Understanding Proguides' cost structure helps you decide whether cancellation is your best move.

If you're on the Premium plan and only use recorded guides, downgrading to Basic before you cancel would save money over the short term. However, Tocancel recommends cancelling entirely if the service no longer serves your needs, rather than paying any amount for unused access.

Common mistakes canadian subscribers make when cancelling

Many subscribers believe they've cancelled when they haven't, creating unnecessary charges and frustration. Protecting yourself takes just a few extra steps.

Mistake 1: cancelling through the app instead of the correct platform

Deleting the Proguides app from your phone does NOT cancel your subscription. If you subscribed through Apple or Google, you must cancel through their platforms, not the app itself. Tocancel has seen hundreds of subscribers assume they cancelled because they deleted the app, only to be charged again the following month. Always cancel where you subscribed.

Mistake 2: not saving cancellation confirmation

If you cannot prove you cancelled, disputing an unexpected charge becomes much harder. Take a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation screen and save the confirmation email Proguides or Apple/Google sends you. If a dispute arises, this evidence forces the company to take you seriously.

Mistake 3: waiting until after you're charged again

Cancel as soon as you decide to stop using Proguides, ideally before your next billing cycle begins. If you wait until after you're charged, you lose the ability to request a refund for that cycle. Check your billing date in your account settings and cancel at least 3 days before it arrives.

Mistake 4: ignoring unexpected charges

If Proguides charges you after you cancelled, act immediately. File a chargeback within 60 days of the unauthorized charge. The longer you wait, the harder it becomes to prove the charge was wrong. Contact your bank or credit card issuer the same day you notice the charge.

Refund eligibility and how to claim one

Refunds depend on your platform and the reason for cancellation.

Refunds through apple and google

Both Apple App Store and Google Play allow refunds within 90 days of purchase if you have a valid reason. Valid reasons include: the service was not delivered as advertised, coaches missed sessions without rescheduling, content was significantly lower quality than promised, or unauthorized charges occurred. Request a refund directly through Apple's or Google's apps by going to your subscription details and selecting "Report an Issue" or "Request Refund." Be specific about why you're requesting the refund - Apple and Google are more likely to approve if you explain that Proguides failed to deliver.

Refunds for direct website subscriptions

If you subscribed directly through Proguides.com, the company's refund policy applies. Most gaming subscriptions offer no refund for cancelled plans. However, if Proguides breached its contract - for example, by failing to provide the promised coaching or by charging you without authorization - you can demand a refund. Send a written request (email counts) to Proguides' support team. Reference your billing dates, the specific breach, and the refund amount you're requesting. Keep a copy of this email for escalation purposes.

Escalating a denied refund claim

If Proguides denies your refund or doesn't respond within 14 days, file a chargeback with your bank or credit card issuer. Provide your bank with evidence: cancellation screenshots, billing statements showing the disputed charge, and your written refund request to Proguides. Your bank will investigate on your behalf. This is why Tocancel emphasizes saving all documentation - it's your legal proof.

How tocancel helps you take control

Navigating subscription cancellations can feel overwhelming, especially when a company resists your request or an unexpected charge appears on your statement.

Your next step: confirm cancellation today

Do not delay. If you've decided Proguides is not for you, follow the cancellation steps for your platform immediately. Check your confirmation email or screenshot within 24 hours. Set a phone reminder to verify no charges appear on your next billing date. If a charge does appear, file a chargeback within 60 days.

Contact information for disputes

If Proguides charges you after cancellation or refuses to refund a disputed charge, contact your provincial authority:

• Ontario: Ministry of Government and Consumer Services, serviceontario.ca or 1-800-889-9768
• British Columbia: Office of the Registrar of Mortgage Brokers and Consumer Services, consumerprotectionbc.ca
• Alberta: Fair Trading Act enforced through Alberta Justice and Solicitor General, fair-trading.alberta.ca
• Quebec: Office of the Protecteur du consommateur, protecteurduconsommateur.qc.ca or 1-888-566-5099
• Chargeback dispute: Contact your bank or credit card issuer directly to initiate a chargeback within 60 days of the unauthorized charge

Tocancel recommends keeping all documentation - confirmation emails, screenshots, billing statements, and copies of any emails you send to Proguides or your bank. This evidence is essential if your dispute goes to your provincial consumer protection authority.
