Cancel Cheat Happens: Step-by-Step Guide

How to cancel Cheat Happens and stop recurring gaming charges

Why you might want to cancel Cheat Happens

Cheat Happens is a PC gaming platform owned by Dingo WebWorks, LLC, a US-based company that sells access to game trainers, cheats, and premium message board features. You pay through recurring monthly or yearly subscriptions, or you can make a one-time lifetime purchase.

If you're a Philippine user with an active subscription, you have good reasons to cancel: your favourite game finished, the trainers didn't deliver the results you expected, or you simply want to control your monthly spending. The challenge is that Cheat Happens charges in US dollars, which means your peso amount fluctuates with the exchange rate. Many users also accidentally keep paying after they think they've cancelled, because the platform and PayPal operate separately. Tocancel is here to walk you through the exact steps so you stop wasting money.

Understanding your subscription type

Cheat Happens offers four membership plans. Only two of them-Monthly and Yearly Premium-require active cancellation because they charge you automatically every month or year. If you bought a Lifetime or Lifetime PLUS plan, no cancellation is necessary because you paid once and will never be charged again.

This distinction matters because cancelling a non-recurring plan wastes your time, while ignoring a recurring subscription wastes your money. Know which plan you have before you start the cancellation process.

Why philippine users face extra barriers

Cheat Happens does not operate through the Apple App Store or Google Play in the Philippines. You signed up directly through the website using PayPal, credit card, or debit card. This means you cannot cancel through your phone's app settings-you must contact support or cancel your PayPal automatic payment separately.

Many users also do not realise that cancelling your Cheat Happens account does not automatically stop PayPal from charging you. You must cancel in both places to fully stop the charges. Tocancel has helped thousands of Philippine consumers avoid this trap and recover wasted subscription fees.

Your consumer rights under philippine law

What the consumer act of the philippines protects you

The Consumer Act of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 7394) gives you the right to cancel any subscription service and have the company stop charging you immediately after you submit your cancellation request. The law also requires companies to send you a clear confirmation of your cancellation within a reasonable timeframe.

Your legal position is simple: once you cancel, Cheat Happens must stop all charges. If they continue to bill you after you have cancelled, those charges are unauthorised, and you have grounds to dispute them.

What to do if Cheat Happens refuses to cancel or keeps charging

If Cheat Happens does not honour your cancellation request or continues to charge you after you cancel, you can escalate the dispute to two authorities. First, contact your credit card company or PayPal and request a chargeback or reversal for unauthorised charges. Second, file a formal complaint with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Consumer Assistance and Advocacy Division.

The DTI handles complaints about subscription fraud, unfair billing practices, and non-compliance with cancellation requests. You will need to provide your cancellation email, payment records, and proof of continued charges. The DTI takes these complaints seriously and can compel the company to refund you. Tocancel recommends documenting every step of your cancellation so you have evidence if you need to escalate.

Pricing and subscription plans explained

How Cheat Happens charges and what each plan costs

All prices are in US dollars, so your actual Philippine peso charge depends on the current exchange rate at the time of billing. Below is a breakdown of each plan so you can identify which one you have and whether you need to cancel it.

If you own a Lifetime or Lifetime PLUS plan, you have no recurring charges and do not need to cancel anything-skip ahead to the refund section if you want to dispute the original purchase price.

How to cancel Cheat Happens step by step

The two cancellation methods available to you

Cheat Happens allows you to cancel through two separate routes: directly via the website support system, or by stopping automatic payments through PayPal. Tocancel recommends doing both to ensure your subscription truly stops and no charges slip through.

Method 1: cancel through Cheat Happens website support

1. Log into your Cheat Happens account at the main website using your email and password.
   • If you forgot your password, click "Forgot Password" and reset it before you proceed.
2. Navigate to your account settings or profile page.
   • Look for a section called "Subscriptions", "Billing", or "Account Management".
3. Locate your active subscription and select "Cancel Subscription" or a similar option.
   • Some versions of the site may ask you why you want to cancel-you can skip this or leave brief feedback.
4. Confirm your cancellation request.
   • Write down the confirmation number or take a screenshot of the confirmation page.
5. Wait for a confirmation email from Cheat Happens.
   • Check your email inbox and spam folder within 24-48 hours.
   • The email should confirm that your Premium membership will not renew on your next billing date.
6. If you do not receive confirmation within 48 hours, submit a support ticket through their contact form and ask for written confirmation of your cancellation.
   • Include your account email and the date you attempted to cancel.

Method 2: cancel your PayPal automatic payment

Because Cheat Happens uses PayPal to process charges, you must also cancel the automatic payment authorisation in your PayPal account. Many users skip this step and continue to be charged even after they cancel on the Cheat Happens website.

1. Log into your PayPal account at paypal.com.
   • Use your registered email and password.
2. Click on the menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the top left corner.
   • On mobile, this appears as a hamburger menu.
3. Select "Settings" or "Account Settings".
   • Scroll to "Payments" or "Automatic Payments".
4. Find "Manage automatic payments" or "Subscriptions and recurring payments".
   • You will see a list of all companies authorised to charge your PayPal account automatically.
5. Locate "Cheat Happens" or "Dingo WebWorks" in the list.
   • Click on it to open the details of that subscription.
6. Click "Cancel" or "Stop automatic payments".
   • PayPal will ask you to confirm the cancellation.
7. Confirm your choice and wait for PayPal to send you an email confirmation.
   • Check your email within 1-2 hours.

You have now cancelled your subscription in both places. Your next billing date should pass without a charge. If a charge appears on your PayPal or credit card account after you have completed both steps, escalate immediately to Tocancel's guide on disputing unauthorised charges or file a chargeback.

What happens after you cancel

How long it takes and when charges stop

After you cancel Cheat Happens, your Premium membership remains active until your current billing cycle ends. For example, if you pay monthly and cancel on the 15th of the month, you keep access until the 15th of the next month. On that date, your subscription will not renew and you will not be charged again.

If you cancel mid-cycle and want immediate access removed, contact support and ask them to process an instant cancellation. Some companies honour this request, though Cheat Happens typically does not refund unused time.

Checking that your cancellation worked

Log into your Cheat Happens account 2-3 days after your expected renewal date and verify that it now says "No active subscription" or displays a message to renew. Check your PayPal and credit card statements for 30 days after cancellation to ensure no new charges appear. If you see a charge after you have cancelled, you have been overbilled and must dispute it immediately.

Refunds and recovering overcharged fees

Whether you can get a refund for unused subscription time

Cheat Happens does not offer automatic refunds for cancellations made mid-cycle. However, you can request a refund by contacting their support team and explaining your situation. Tocancel recommends being clear and specific: state the date you cancelled, why you cancelled, and how much unused time remains.

If Cheat Happens refuses a refund, you have two options. First, contact your credit card company or PayPal and request a chargeback for an unfair or unsatisfactory service. Second, file a dispute with the DTI if you believe the company violated consumer protection law by refusing a reasonable refund request.

If you were charged after cancellation

If Cheat Happens or PayPal charged you after you cancelled, those charges are unauthorised. Contact PayPal immediately and request a refund, citing the date of your cancellation as proof. You can also dispute the charge with your credit card company within 60-120 days of the charge appearing on your statement.

For each disputed charge, provide your cancellation confirmation email, PayPal records, and credit card statements as evidence. The DTI can also help you recover these fees if the company refuses to refund you voluntarily.

Common mistakes that trap you in unwanted charges

Why cancellations fail and how to avoid them

Many Philippine users think they have cancelled when they have not, and they continue to be charged for months. Understanding these traps now will save you money and frustration.

Mistake 1: Cancelling only on the website and ignoring PayPal. Cheat Happens and PayPal operate as separate systems. Cancelling your subscription on the Cheat Happens website does not automatically revoke PayPal's permission to charge your account. You must cancel in both places. After you cancel on the website, always log into PayPal and remove Cheat Happens from your automatic payment list.

Mistake 2: Not saving your cancellation confirmation. If Cheat Happens later claims you never cancelled, you have no proof. Screenshot your confirmation page, save the confirmation email, and write down the date and time. These records are your evidence if you need to dispute a charge with PayPal or the DTI.

Mistake 3: Assuming the next billing date will not charge you. Some users wait to see if they are charged on their renewal date. By then, the charge has already gone through and you must dispute it. Cancel at least 5 business days before your renewal date to give the system time to process your cancellation and prevent the charge.

Mistake 4: Not checking for hidden renewal reminders. Cheat Happens sometimes sends renewal reminder emails with a link to renew your subscription. If you accidentally click this link, you may restart your subscription. Delete or ignore these emails entirely.

Mistake 5: Forgetting about currency conversion. Because Cheat Happens charges in US dollars, your actual peso amount changes each month as the exchange rate moves. A $9.95 charge might be ₱560 one month and ₱575 the next. If amounts seem inconsistent, this is normal-but if the amount suddenly increases or you see duplicate charges, investigate immediately.

What to do if you find an unauthorised charge

If you see a charge on your PayPal or credit card after you have cancelled, act immediately. The longer you wait, the harder it becomes to dispute. Contact PayPal or your credit card company within 60 days and provide your cancellation confirmation and payment records. If the company refuses to refund you, file a complaint with the DTI Consumer Assistance and Advocacy Division.

Summary and next steps
