Cancel Bet Plus: The Right Way

How to cancel bET+ and stop charges before your next billing cycle

What bET+ is and why you might want to cancel

BET+ is a subscription streaming service that delivers original programming, films, and series centered on Black culture and storytelling. The platform offers curated content from Tyler Perry, documentaries, and a rotating library designed for viewers across the United States. You can subscribe directly through BET+ or via third-party platforms like Apple, Google Play, Roku, and Amazon. Most people who come to Tocancel looking to cancel BET+ report one of three problems: unexpected charges after a free trial ends, low content usage that no longer justifies the cost, or confusion about which platform actually owns their subscription. Understanding what you subscribed to and where matters before you attempt cancellation, because your cancellation method depends entirely on your subscription source.

BET+ pricing and subscription tiers

BET+ offers two main subscription plans, each available with monthly or annual billing. The table below shows current pricing as of 2026.

If you signed up for a promotional rate or a free trial, you will revert to the standard pricing above once your promotional period expires. Set a reminder three days before your trial ends so you can cancel before the first full charge hits your account.

Why bET+ cancellations often create confusion

The biggest trap with BET+ is that your subscription may not live in BET+'s own account system. If you subscribed through the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, Amazon Prime Video Channels, or Roku, your billing and cancellation happen through that third-party platform, not directly with BET+. Many customers call BET+ support expecting to cancel, only to be redirected back to the platform where they actually signed up. This back-and-forth costs time and frustration. Customers who know exactly which platform owns their subscription cancel within minutes, while those who are unsure can spend hours on the phone or navigating support channels. Therefore, your first task is to identify where you subscribed.

Your right to cancel and federal protections

You have the legal right to cancel any subscription you no longer want, and US consumer law protects you from predatory billing practices.

What the federal trade commission requires

The Restore Online Shoppers Confidence Act (ROSCA), enforced by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), requires companies to obtain clear, affirmative consent before charging you for a renewal and to make cancellation at least as easy as signup. Your legal position is straightforward: BET+ must provide a simple, straightforward cancellation method that does not require you to call a phone number, navigate a maze of forms, or wait weeks for a response. If you cancel before your billing date, you should not be charged. If BET+ or a partner platform charges you after you cancel, you have grounds to dispute the charge with your credit card company or bank. Keep screenshots of your cancellation confirmation because you may need them to prove you cancelled on time.

What to do if bET+ refuses to cancel your account

If BET+ or the third-party platform ignores your cancellation request or continues to charge you after you cancel, file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission at reportfraud.ftc.gov. You can also contact your state's Attorney General consumer protection division. Tocancel has seen these escalations resolve billing disputes within 30 days when you provide clear documentation of your cancellation attempt and the unwanted charges. This means you should save all email confirmations, screenshots, and transaction records from your statement.

How to cancel bET+ by subscription method

Your cancellation path depends entirely on where you signed up, and each method is straightforward once you identify your subscription source.

Cancel bET+ if you subscribed directly through bET+

If you signed up directly at the BET+ website or app without going through a third-party platform, follow these steps to cancel immediately.

1. Visit the BET+ website or open the BET+ app on your device.
2. Log in with your username and password.
3. Navigate to Account settings or Your account (location varies by device).
4. Look for Manage subscription, Billing, or Cancel subscription.
5. Select the option to cancel your subscription.
   • BET+ will ask you to confirm the cancellation.
   • You may be offered a discount to stay; declining is optional.
6. Complete the cancellation process and wait for a confirmation email.
7. Save the confirmation email as proof of cancellation.

This method takes fewer than five minutes and gives you immediate control over your subscription without a middleman.

Cancel bET+ if you subscribed through apple app store

If you signed up for BET+ on an iPhone, iPad, or Mac via the Apple App Store, you must cancel through Apple, not through BET+. This means Apple handles your billing and your cancellation.

1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
2. Tap or click your name at the top of the screen.
3. Select Subscriptions.
4. Find and tap BET+ in the list.
   • If you do not see it, scroll down to find it.
5. Tap Manage subscription (or Edit).
6. Select Cancel subscription or Turn off auto-renewal.
   • Apple will ask you to confirm; select Confirm cancellation.
7. Verify the cancellation shows in your subscriptions list.
8. Take a screenshot as proof.

Apple stops charging you on your next billing date once you complete these steps, and you receive a cancellation confirmation email from Apple.

Cancel bET+ if you subscribed through google play

If you signed up for BET+ on an Android phone or tablet via the Google Play Store, you must cancel through Google, not through BET+ directly.

1. Open Google Play on your Android device.
2. Tap the profile icon in the top right corner.
3. Select Manage subscriptions or Payments and subscriptions.
4. Find BET+ in your subscriptions list.
5. Tap BET+ to open the subscription details.
6. Select Cancel subscription.
   • Google will ask you why you are cancelling; this is optional feedback.
   • Confirm the cancellation when prompted.
7. Check your email for a cancellation confirmation from Google Play.

Google stops charging you at the end of your current billing period, and you can continue watching BET+ until that date.

Cancel bET+ if you subscribed through amazon prime video channels

If you added BET+ as a channel through Amazon Prime Video, you must cancel through Amazon, not BET+. Amazon manages the billing and cancellation for all Prime Video Channels.

1. Visit amazon.com and sign in to your account.
2. Go to Your Account and select Memberships and subscriptions.
3. Look for BET+ under Prime Video Channels or Subscriptions.
4. Click Cancel channel or Manage subscription.
   • Amazon displays the cancellation details and your current billing date.
5. Confirm the cancellation when prompted.
6. Verify the cancellation in your subscriptions list and save a screenshot.

You retain access to BET+ through your Prime Video account until the end of your current billing cycle, then access stops.

Cancel bET+ if you subscribed through roku

If you subscribed to BET+ through a Roku device or the Roku website, you must cancel through Roku's subscription management system.

1. Visit roku.com or use your Roku remote to access the Roku player.
2. Sign in to your Roku account.
3. Go to Subscriptions or Manage subscriptions.
4. Find BET+ in your active subscriptions list.
5. Select Cancel subscription or Remove.
   • Roku will confirm the cancellation and show your final billing date.
6. Check your email for a cancellation confirmation from Roku.
7. Save the confirmation for your records.

Roku stops charging you on your next billing date, and your access to BET+ ends on that date.

Timeline and what happens after you cancel

Understanding your post-cancellation experience helps you avoid confusion and ensures you keep access until you actually lose it.

When your access ends after cancellation

Once you cancel BET+, access does not stop immediately. You keep watching until the end of your current billing cycle. For example, if you subscribed to the monthly Essential plan at $5.99 on January 15th and cancel on January 20th, you retain access through February 14th (the date of your next scheduled charge). After that date, the service locks you out and your account goes dormant. This means you can plan your cancellation strategically: cancel early in your billing cycle if you want immediate access removal, or cancel near the end if you want to maximize remaining viewing time.

What to expect from billing after cancellation

After you cancel, you should see no charges on your credit card or bank statement for BET+ beyond the current billing cycle. If a charge appears after your cancellation date, this is a billing error and you have the right to dispute it. Contact your bank or credit card company and provide your cancellation confirmation as proof. In practice, the dispute process takes 5 to 10 business days, and most banks refund the unwanted charge while investigating. Tocancel recommends checking your statement for 30 days after your final billing date to catch any unexpected charges.

Can you get a refund if you cancel mid-cycle

BET+ does not refund unused portions of your subscription if you cancel mid-cycle. This is standard across the streaming industry. If you pay $5.99 for a monthly subscription on January 1st and cancel on January 15th, you do not receive a refund for the remaining 15 days. However, if BET+ charged you after you cancelled, or if a technical error caused a double charge, you have the right to request a refund from BET+ directly. Contact BET+ customer support through their website and provide your cancellation confirmation and the disputed charge. Document everything in writing so you have a record if you need to escalate to your bank or the Federal Trade Commission.

Common mistakes people make when cancelling bET+

Cancelling a subscription feels simple until something goes wrong, and small missteps can leave you paying for weeks longer than intended.

Mistake 1: cancelling through the wrong platform

The most common cancellation error is trying to cancel BET+ directly when you subscribed through a third-party platform like Apple or Amazon. BET+ customer support cannot cancel a subscription they do not manage. You end up spending 20 minutes on a support call only to be told to contact Apple, Amazon, or Google instead. This means wasted time and continued charges. Therefore, identify your subscription source before you reach out to anyone. Log into the platform where you think you subscribed (Apple App Store, Google Play, Amazon, Roku) and look for BET+ in your active subscriptions. Once you find it, cancel there.

Mistake 2: assuming cancellation takes effect immediately

You cancel BET+ on a Tuesday and expect your access to end the same day. In reality, you keep watching until your next billing date. If you need access to end immediately, contact customer support and ask if they offer a refund for early cancellation. Most do not, but asking costs nothing and sometimes customer support makes an exception for long-time subscribers.

Mistake 3: not saving cancellation confirmations

You cancel BET+ and delete the confirmation email without thinking twice. Then a charge appears on your statement three weeks later. Without proof of cancellation, disputing the charge becomes harder because you cannot show the bank or the Federal Trade Commission when you cancelled. Therefore, save all confirmation emails and take screenshots of your subscription management page showing a cancelled status. These documents are your insurance against unwanted charges.

Mistake 4: forgetting to cancel a free trial before it expires

You sign up for a BET+ free trial and forget to set a reminder. The trial expires and BET+ charges you the full monthly rate ($5.99 or $10.99) without warning. Under ROSCA rules, BET+ must obtain your affirmative consent before charging you for a paid subscription after a free trial, but the reality is that companies rely on forgetfulness. Set a calendar reminder for three days before your trial ends. This gives you a safety window to cancel before the first charge posts.

When to cancel versus when to keep bET+

Deciding whether to cancel depends on your viewing habits and budget, and Tocancel helps you think through both sides.

Reasons to cancel bET+

Cancel BET+ if you have not opened the app in over two weeks, if the content library no longer interests you, or if you are juggling multiple streaming subscriptions and need to cut costs. The Essential plan costs $5.99 per month, which adds up to $71.88 per year. If you only watch one or two films per month, that cost may not justify the service. Additionally, if you signed up for a free trial and realized the content is not for you, cancel before the first charge hits. Financial pressure or job changes are also valid reasons to cancel, even if you enjoyed the service.

Reasons to keep bET+

Keep BET+ if you regularly watch Tyler Perry originals, documentaries, or films centered on Black storytelling. If you watch at least two pieces of content per month, the $5.99 Essential plan (with ads) or $10.99 Premium plan (ad-free) typically offers better value than renting individual films on iTunes or Amazon Prime Video. The Premium plan removes ads, making for a smoother viewing experience if you plan to watch regularly. If you subscribe annually and pay $54.99 upfront for Essential or $104.99 for Premium, the per-month cost drops and offers better long-term value.

Refund and billing dispute process

If BET+ or a third-party platform charged you after cancellation or charged you twice, you have clear steps to recover the money.

How to dispute a bET+ charge with your bank

1. Log into your bank account or credit card app.
2. Review your recent transactions and identify the BET+ charge you believe is unauthorized or incorrect.
3. Contact your bank by phone, app, or website and select Dispute a transaction or Report fraud.
4. Provide your cancellation confirmation email and screenshot as proof you cancelled.
   • Include the date you cancelled and the date the charge appeared.
   • Explain that you cancelled before the charge and should not have been billed.
5. Your bank investigates the dispute over 5 to 10 business days.
6. The bank either credits your account or sides with BET+ (rare if you have clear cancellation proof).

Most banks side with you if you provide a cancellation confirmation, because the Restore Online Shoppers Confidence Act puts the burden on the company to prove they had permission to charge you.

How to request a refund directly from bET+

If you want to try resolving the issue with BET+ first, contact their customer support through the BET+ website. Visit the Help or Contact Us section, explain the situation in writing, and attach your cancellation confirmation. Request a refund of the disputed charge. In practice, BET+ customer support responds within 3 to 5 business days. Some refunds are approved quickly; others require escalation. If BET+ denies your refund request, escalate to your bank (as described above) or file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission at reportfraud.ftc.gov and include your correspondence with BET+ as evidence.
