Cancel Motogp: The Right Way

How to cancel MotoGP and stop auto-renewal charges in malaysia

Why you might want to cancel MotoGP

MotoGP is the official subscription platform for live motorcycle racing coverage, owned and operated by Dorna Sports and MotoGP Group. If you subscribed in Malaysia, you are paying in ringgit for access to live race streams, replays, and premium timing data. Many Malaysian users find themselves locked into auto-renewal cycles, waking up to unexpected charges on their credit card or mobile bill. The service works reliably during races, but regional buffering, exchange-rate surprises, and the absence of local customer support frustrate subscribers enough that cancellation becomes the right choice.

Whether you signed up for a one-season VideoPass, a recurring monthly plan, or FullPass access, you have the legal right to cancel at any time. Your consumer protection rights in Malaysia are anchored in the Consumer Protection Act 1999, which guarantees you can exit a subscription contract without penalty once the service has been delivered. Tocancel exists to walk you through exactly how to do that, step by step.

When cancellation makes sense

Cancel MotoGP if you no longer watch live races, if the monthly charges (around RM199 per month or RM877 annually at current exchange rates) no longer justify the value, or if you intended to subscribe for a single season and auto-renewal has caught you off guard. Some users cancel after the F1-to-MotoGP transition period each February, when renewal fees roll in automatically. Others cancel due to streaming quality issues or because they prefer free highlight clips over the full subscription cost.

The point is this: you do not need a reason to cancel, and the company cannot legally refuse your request or charge a penalty fee. Your right to exit is absolute, and Tocancel is here to ensure you exercise it without friction.

Your consumer rights and what they mean for you

As a consumer in Malaysia, you are protected by the Consumer Protection Act 1999, administered by the Federation of Malaysian Consumers Associations (FOMCA) and the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living. This law gives you the right to cancel any distance contract (which includes online subscriptions) within 14 days of payment, as long as you have not materially consumed the service. For an ongoing subscription like MotoGP, you also have the absolute right to terminate the contract at any time after the initial period, even if the terms say otherwise.

Your legal position is straightforward: a subscription is a contract, and you can walk away. MotoGP cannot charge you after you cancel, cannot re-bill you if you explicitly turn off auto-renewal, and cannot demand a reason. If the company breaches this and charges you again, you can file a complaint with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living.

The 14-day refund window

If you subscribed within the last 14 days and have not watched significant content (or have only watched a limited amount), you have grounds to request a full refund under the Consumer Protection Act 1999. Send a cancellation request with a refund claim to [email protected], citing the 14-day cooling-off period. Include your subscription date, amount charged, and a brief statement that you are exercising your right to cancel and receive a refund.

Keep your receipt, bank statement showing the charge, and any screenshots of your account dashboard. If MotoGP refuses the refund, escalate to the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living with your evidence. Tocancel recommends always requesting a refund in writing; a verbal cancellation is not enough.

Auto-renewal and your contractual rights

MotoGP's terms state that auto-renewal is enabled by default on all subscription plans. This means after your initial period ends (whether it is 30 days, 365 days, or a season), the service will charge your card again unless you actively turn off renewal. Malaysian consumer law requires companies to send you a renewal notice at least 7 days before the charge, but in practice you may only spot it when the money leaves your account. You have the right to cancel at any point, including during a billing cycle, and you can demand a refund for any charges incurred after you requested cancellation.

Your contractual right is absolute: you can cancel renewal settings up to 24 hours before your next billing date for season passes, and you can cancel monthly plans at any time. Document the exact date and time you submitted your cancellation request.

How to cancel MotoGP step by step

Cancellation happens through three routes depending on where you subscribed: the MotoGP website, Apple's App Store, or Google Play. Tocancel recommends the website route because it gives you the clearest confirmation and audit trail. Follow the exact steps below for your subscription method.

Cancelling on motogp.com (the recommended method)

If you subscribed directly on the MotoGP website using your credit card or debit card, this is your fastest path to cancellation.

1. Open your web browser and go to motogp.com
   • Make sure you are logged in with the same account you used to subscribe
   • If you are not logged in, click the account icon in the top right corner and enter your email and password
2. Navigate to your account settings by clicking on your name or profile icon
   • Look for a menu option labeled "My Account" or "Account Settings"
   • Select "Subscriptions" from the dropdown
3. Find the "Current Subscription" section and review your plan details
   • You will see your plan name, renewal date, and next billing amount
   • Confirm the renewal date matches your bank statement or email records
4. Click on "Modify the renewal" or "Manage renewal"
   • This button is usually next to your current plan or at the bottom of the subscription card
5. Select "Cancel renewal" from the options presented
   • The system may ask you why you are cancelling; this is optional feedback but helpful for the company
   • Do not close the page until you see a confirmation message
6. Save a screenshot of the confirmation page showing "Renewal cancelled" or "Your subscription will not renew"
   • Note the date and time of this screenshot
   • Check your email inbox (including spam) for a cancellation confirmation email from Dorna within 2 hours

After you complete these steps, your subscription will remain active until your current billing period ends, but it will not auto-renew. You can still watch MotoGP content until that date expires. This is the cleanest cancellation route because you have a direct online record and email confirmation.

Cancelling through apple app store (for iPhone or iPad)

If you subscribed through the MotoGP app on your iPhone or iPad and payment is linked to your Apple ID, you must cancel through Apple, not through the MotoGP app itself.

1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad
   • Tap your name at the top of the Settings menu
2. Tap "Subscriptions"
   • You will see a list of all active subscriptions tied to your Apple ID
3. Find "MotoGP" in the list and tap it
   • If you see multiple MotoGP entries, look at the renewal date to identify which one is active
4. Tap "Cancel subscription" or "Edit subscription"
   • If you see "Edit", tap that, then look for a "Cancel" option on the next screen
5. Confirm the cancellation when prompted
   • Apple will ask if you want to keep your access until the next renewal date; select "Yes" to maintain viewing until the current period ends
6. Take a screenshot showing the subscription is cancelled
   • Your Apple ID email should receive a cancellation receipt within minutes

Important: cancelling through App Store removes the charge from your Apple billing, but MotoGP's servers should automatically disable your subscription. If you still see an active subscription on motogp.com after cancelling in App Store, log into MotoGP and run the web cancellation steps as a backup.

Cancelling through google play (for android devices)

If you subscribed through the MotoGP app on an Android phone or tablet, cancel through Google Play to stop charges to your linked payment method.

1. Open Google Play Store on your Android device
   • Tap your profile icon in the top right corner
2. Tap "Payments and subscriptions"
   • Select "Subscriptions" from the menu
3. Find and tap "MotoGP" from the list of active subscriptions
   • Check the renewal date to confirm you are cancelling the right subscription
4. Tap "Cancel subscription"
   • Google will ask for feedback on why you are cancelling; answer honestly but briefly
5. Confirm the cancellation when the confirmation dialog appears
   • Select the option to maintain access through the current billing cycle
6. Screenshot the cancellation confirmation
   • Your Google account email will receive a cancellation receipt

Like Apple, Google Play will stop the billing immediately, but your access to MotoGP will remain active until your current billing period expires. Tocancel always recommends also logging into motogp.com and confirming the subscription is cancelled in your account dashboard as a safety check.

What happens after you cancel MotoGP

Cancellation does not mean you lose access right away. Your subscription will remain active and you can still stream MotoGP content until your current billing period ends. This is your paid period, and you are entitled to use it. After the final day of your current cycle, your login credentials will no longer work and you will be logged out of the app.

Tocancel recommends you download or screenshot any account information, viewing history, or preferences before the final day, just in case you resubscribe later and want to recover that data. MotoGP does not guarantee data retention after a subscription ends.

If you are charged again after cancellation

If a charge appears on your bank statement or credit card after your cancellation confirmation date, this is a breach of contract and a violation of the Consumer Protection Act 1999. Act immediately by contacting your bank to dispute the charge as "unauthorized" or "cancelled subscription". Most banks can reverse a single erroneous charge within 24 to 48 hours.

At the same time, email [email protected] with the subject line "Unauthorized charge after cancellation" and include your cancellation confirmation screenshot, the date you cancelled, the new charge date, and the amount. Ask for a full refund and a written explanation of why the charge was processed. If Dorna does not respond or refuses within 7 days, file a formal complaint with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living with all your evidence attached.

Will MotoGP contact you about re-subscribing

You may receive promotional emails from MotoGP after you cancel, especially around major racing events or at the start of a new season. These are marketing messages, not billing notices, and you can ignore or unsubscribe from them. Do not reply to them or click any links unless you intend to re-subscribe. Clicking promotional links sometimes re-activates old subscriptions or creates a new one, which then incurs an auto-renewal charge.

MotoGP pricing and what you are paying for

Understanding what you are actually paying helps you decide whether to cancel or keep your subscription. MotoGP offers three main plans in Malaysia, all charged in euros and converted to ringgit at your bank's exchange rate.

Prices fluctuate with exchange rates, so your actual ringgit charge depends on whether your bank uses a mid-market rate or adds a margin. Most Malaysian credit cards add 2 to 4 percent on top of the official euro rate, so a EUR 39.10 subscription often costs RM 205 to RM 215 instead of RM 199. Check your last invoice to see the exact amount charged.

All plans auto-renew by default unless you actively turn off renewal in your account settings. A free trial does not activate auto-renewal, but once you convert to a paid plan, renewal is switched on automatically.

Common mistakes people make when cancelling MotoGP

Cancellation is straightforward, but small errors can leave you stuck in billing loops or believing you have cancelled when you have not. Here are the traps to avoid.

Assuming deletion means cancellation

Some users delete the MotoGP app from their phone, thinking this stops the subscription. It does not. Deleting the app is like throwing away your remote control; the subscription continues and charges roll in. You must formally cancel through the payment platform (motogp.com, Apple, or Google Play), not just remove the app. Tocancel sees this mistake repeatedly, and it costs users hundreds of ringgit.

Not confirming cancellation in writing

If you call or email a general support address and say "I want to cancel," but do not save a copy of the request or get a confirmation number, MotoGP can later claim they never received the cancellation. Always use the in-app or website cancellation button, which generates an automatic confirmation. If you must email ([email protected]), write a clear subject line like "Subscription cancellation request - [your account email]" and keep a copy of the email you sent, including the timestamp.

Cancelling only through one payment platform if you have multiple subscriptions

If you subscribed on motogp.com via credit card and separately through Apple App Store on your phone, you have two active subscriptions. Cancelling one does not cancel the other. You must cancel both independently. Check your App Store, Google Play, and motogp.com account all three to make sure you have ended every active subscription linked to your name.

Ignoring the renewal date and missing the cancellation window

MotoGP requires you to cancel at least 24 hours before the renewal date for season passes and monthly plans. If you miss this window, the renewal charge will be processed and you will need to request a refund. Never assume you have time; set a phone reminder for 2 days before your renewal date and cancel then. The Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living expects companies to honor cancellations submitted before the charge, so act early.

Not saving proof of cancellation

The biggest mistake is closing the cancellation confirmation page without taking a screenshot. If a charge appears later and you have no proof you cancelled, disputes become much harder. Always screenshot the confirmation page and the confirmation email. Keep these files in a folder on your phone or computer. If you ever need to file a complaint with the Ministry, these images are your strongest evidence.

Can you get a refund after cancellation

Refunds depend on timing and consumption. Here is the legal framework:

Refund within 14 days of purchase

If you subscribed within the last 14 calendar days and have consumed little or no content, you can request a full refund under the Consumer Protection Act 1999. Send an email to [email protected] titled "Refund request - 14-day cancellation right" with your subscription date, amount charged, and a simple statement: "I am exercising my right to cancel within the 14-day cooling-off period and request a full refund." Include your order number or account email.

Dorna must respond within 14 days. If they refuse, file a complaint with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living and provide your receipt, bank statement, and email correspondence. Tocancel has seen dozens of cases resolved this way.

Refund after 14 days: pro-rata approach

After the 14-day window closes, MotoGP is not legally required to refund unused days. However, if you cancel mid-month or mid-season and can show you did not use the service, you can negotiate a partial refund or credit. Email [email protected] with your cancellation date, subscription end date, and a request for a pro-rata refund based on the unused period. Some teams grant this as a gesture; others decline. There is no legal obligation, but it is worth asking.

Refund if a charge was made after you cancelled

If you cancelled correctly but were charged again, that charge is unauthorized under Malaysian consumer law. Request a full refund immediately. Contact your bank first to dispute the charge and request a chargeback, then email Dorna with your cancellation proof and demand a refund. The Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living will back you if the company refuses.

Checklist before and after cancellation

Use this checklist to ensure you cancel safely and keep records for any future disputes:

Why tocancel helps you cancel with confidence

MotoGP subscriptions trap thousands of Malaysian users in auto-renewal loops every month. You pay for a trial or a season, forget about it, and suddenly your bank account is RM 200 lighter than expected. The company makes cancellation deliberately hard: no phone support, no live chat, and a website interface buried in account settings.

Tocancel exists to cut through this. We research exactly where the cancel button is, we translate consumer law into plain language, and we give you a step-by-step roadmap so you never get stuck. Tocancel has helped thousands of consumers cancel MotoGP subscriptions, recover unauthorized charges, and understand their rights under Malaysian consumer law. Whether you are cancelling today or just exploring your options, we are here to make sure you stay in control.

Getting in touch with dorna or MotoGP

MotoGP does not publish a Malaysian office address or phone number. All customer support flows through the online help center at motogp.com and email support at [email protected]. If your cancellation request is ignored, escalate to the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living at 03-8000-8000 or visit their website. Tocancel recommends keeping a detailed log of every email you send to Dorna, including the subject line, date sent, and any response received.

Your cancellation is your right, and the law backs you up. Take action today, keep your receipts, and do not let auto-renewal catch you off guard again.
