How to cancel your ClubWPT membership in UAE: your complete step-by-step guide

Understanding ClubWPT and why you might want to cancel

ClubWPT is a subscription-based online poker platform that gives you access to tournaments, sweepstakes-style prize opportunities, and exclusive World Poker Tour content. You don't play for real money; instead, you compete using virtual chips while pursuing genuine prize opportunities.

The service operates through membership tiers-VIP and Diamond plans being the primary paid options. Each tier unlocks tournament access, satellite entry opportunities, and premium content including LearnWPT coaching videos and WPT television episodes. You purchase Play Chips separately, and those credits remain tied to your account for ongoing play.

If your playing interests have shifted, you've found a competing platform, or you simply want to reduce your monthly subscriptions, Stopee is here to guide you through every step of cancelling with confidence. At Stopee, we help thousands of consumers navigate cancellation processes every month, so you're not alone in this decision.

The difference between free and paid memberships

ClubWPT offers a Basic tier at no cost, which gives you limited tournament access and slower progression through the play ecosystem. Once you upgrade to VIP (AED 102.60 per month) or Diamond (typically AED 205 per month), you unlock accelerated entry to premium tournaments and exclusive sweepstakes draws. Cancelling your paid membership downgrades your account to Basic status, which means you retain your account and any earned credentials but lose access to paid features.

Pricing breakdown and whether cancellation makes sense

Before you cancel, review whether your subscription delivers real value, or whether you've simply outgrown the service. Here's what you're paying for on each plan.

When cancellation is the right choice

You should cancel if you no longer play regularly, if you've accumulated enough Play Chips to sustain yourself indefinitely, or if you've found a competing platform that better suits your preferences. You should also cancel immediately if you're being charged without using the service or if you signed up for a free trial and don't want to be charged when it ends.

Stopee recommends you cancel at least five days before your next billing date. This buffer ensures the cancellation processes in time and prevents an unwanted charge. If you've already been billed unfairly, keep all transaction records-they're your evidence if you need to escalate to consumer protection authorities.

Your consumer rights in the UAE

As a subscriber in the UAE, you have protections under UAE consumer law that apply to digital subscriptions and online services. Understanding these rights strengthens your position if ClubWPT refuses to process your cancellation or disputes a charge.

What UAE consumer protection law covers

Under the UAE Consumer Protection Law (Federal Law No. 24 of 2006), you have the right to cancel any subscription contract within a reasonable timeframe before billing occurs. If you signed up for a free trial and were charged unexpectedly, you may have grounds to request a refund-especially if the trial terms were not clearly disclosed before you entered payment details.

The law also requires that merchants (including online platforms) provide clear, legible terms of service in your language before you agree. If ClubWPT's cancellation policy was hidden, ambiguous, or not presented in English at point of sale, your cancellation request carries additional weight.

If ClubWPT refuses your cancellation or continues to bill you after you've requested to stop, you can escalate to the General Authority for Consumer Protection (GACP), which oversees consumer disputes in the UAE. Stopee advises you to document every communication attempt before escalating formally.

Your right to cancel and your proof of cancellation

You have an absolute right to cancel your membership. What matters is proof. Email confirmation from ClubWPT stating that your cancellation has been processed is your strongest evidence. If you cancel by phone, always ask for a confirmation email and reference number, then forward that to your own email address as backup. Written records protect you if disputes arise later.

How to cancel your ClubWPT membership

ClubWPT offers three primary cancellation methods, each with distinct advantages. Choose the method that provides you with the fastest, most documented path to cancellation.

Cancellation method one: email (fastest and most documented)

Email is Stopee's recommended method because it creates an automatic written record and allows you to include all required information in one message. Follow these steps precisely.

1. Gather your account details before composing your email:
   • Your ClubWPT username
   • Your full name (first and last)
   • Your email address associated with the account
   • Your phone number
   • The last four digits of your payment method (optional but helpful)
   • Your billing address
2. Compose a new email to cancel@theclubservices.com
3. In the subject line, write: "Cancel VIP Membership" or "Membership Cancellation Request"
4. In the email body, include a clear statement like: "I request immediate cancellation of my ClubWPT membership effective today. Please confirm cancellation in writing."
5. Paste all your account details into the email body
6. Send the email and take a screenshot of the confirmation receipt (showing the email was sent)
7. Wait for a response email from ClubWPT confirming the cancellation-allow up to 48 hours for processing
8. Most importantly: Save the confirmation email in a dedicated folder and print a copy or export it as a PDF

Cancellation method two: phone (fast, requires documentation)

Phone cancellation can be faster if you reach a live agent immediately, but it requires you to document the call manually. Use this method only if you're comfortable taking notes during the conversation.

1. Contact ClubWPT customer support by phone at the number listed on their official website or your billing statement
2. When connected to an agent, clearly state: "I want to cancel my membership effective immediately"
3. Provide your username, full name, and the email address on your account
4. Ask the agent for a cancellation confirmation number or reference code
5. Request that the agent send a cancellation confirmation email to your registered email address
6. Write down the agent's name, the date, the time, and the confirmation number on paper or in a notes app
7. After the call ends, send a follow-up email to cancel@theclubservices.com repeating what you discussed on the phone, include the confirmation number, and ask for written email confirmation of the cancellation

Warning: Do not rely solely on a phone call. Without written confirmation, you have no proof of cancellation if the company later disputes whether the request was made.

Cancellation method three: postal mail (slowest but formally documented)

Postal mail is appropriate only if you want to maintain a formal paper trail or if other methods fail. Use registered mail with tracking to ensure the letter arrives and is logged by the company.

1. Write a formal letter that includes:
   • Your full name and ClubWPT username
   • Your billing address (as it appears on the account)
   • Your email address and phone number
   • A clear statement: "I request cancellation of my ClubWPT membership effective [date]"
   • Today's date
2. Address the letter to: ClubWPT Customer Services, The Club Services, [main office address-see section below]
3. Send the letter via registered post or courier with tracking confirmation
4. Keep the tracking receipt and a photocopy of the letter
5. Follow up with an email to cancel@theclubservices.com mentioning that you've sent a cancellation letter and requesting confirmation

Cancellation if you subscribed through apple or google

If you subscribed to ClubWPT through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, you must cancel through that platform directly. ClubWPT cannot process the cancellation on your behalf because the subscription is managed by Apple or Google, not by ClubWPT.

For Apple App Store subscriptions, visit your Apple ID settings, select "Subscriptions," find ClubWPT, and tap "Cancel Subscription." For Google Play subscriptions, open the Google Play Store app, tap your profile icon, select "Manage subscriptions," find ClubWPT, and choose "Cancel subscription."

Pro tip: After cancelling through Apple or Google, also send an email to cancel@theclubservices.com notifying ClubWPT that you've cancelled through the app store. This creates a double layer of documentation and prevents confusion if billing issues occur.

What happens after you cancel

Cancelling your paid membership is not the same as deleting your account. Understanding what changes and what remains helps you avoid surprises.

Your account status and access

Once your cancellation is processed, your account is downgraded to Basic membership. You retain access to the platform and can still log in using your username and password. You keep any Play Chips you've earned or purchased (they don't expire or disappear), but you lose access to paid features like VIP tournaments and exclusive sweepstakes draws.

You may still see invitations to VIP events or upgrade offers in your email or within the app-these are marketing messages and do not restart your subscription automatically.

When does cancellation become effective?

Your membership expires at the end of your current paid period. If you're billed monthly on the 15th and you cancel on the 10th, you retain access until the end of that month. You are not charged again on the 15th. However, if you cancel after your billing date has already passed and you're now within the same billing period, you'll need to allow up to 48 hours for the system to process the cancellation before the next billing date arrives.

Pro tip: Stopee advises you to cancel at least five days before your next billing date to guarantee the cancellation is processed in time. This five-day window is mentioned in ClubWPT's Terms of Service, and respecting it prevents accidental charges.

Your play chips and account data

Your Play Chips balance remains in your account indefinitely and can be used even after you downgrade to Basic. Any profile data, tournament history, and earned rewards are retained unless ClubWPT's privacy policy specifies otherwise. The company does not delete your account simply because you cancelled your membership.

Refunds: what you should know

Understanding ClubWPT's refund policy is crucial because most subscription fees are non-refundable. However, specific circumstances may entitle you to a refund, and knowing these can help you negotiate if something went wrong.

Subscription fees are non-refundable

ClubWPT's Terms of Service specify that subscription fees, including promotional periods and free trials that convert to paid, are non-refundable. Once you're charged for a month of VIP or Diamond membership, that fee is final. There are no prorated refunds if you cancel mid-period. If you signed up on the 5th and cancel on the 25th, you don't receive a refund for the unused portion.

Free trial charges and early cancellation

If you enrolled in a free trial and didn't want to be charged when it ended, you must cancel before the trial period expires. ClubWPT will not refund the first charge if you cancel after being billed. However, if you can prove that the trial terms were not clearly displayed before you entered your payment details, you have grounds to request a refund under UAE consumer protection law. Keep your signup confirmation email-it's evidence of whether the terms were transparent.

Play chips purchases are final

Play Chips are considered digital goods and are non-refundable once credited to your account. ClubWPT typically denies refund requests for Play Chips under all circumstances. If you purchased Play Chips and want your money back, your only leverage is if you can prove the purchase was unauthorized (for example, fraudulent use of your payment method).

When you might qualify for a refund

You may have grounds for a refund in these limited scenarios:

• You were charged after requesting cancellation and the company failed to process it
• You were charged in error (duplicate charges, wrong amount, or charges after your membership ended)
• The terms of service were not presented clearly or in English at the point of sale
• You cancelled a free trial before the end date and were still charged

In these cases, contact ClubWPT's support team with detailed evidence (billing statements, email confirmations of your cancellation request, screenshots). If the company refuses, escalate to the General Authority for Consumer Protection (GACP) in the UAE with all documentation. Stopee recommends you maintain a file of all communications and transaction receipts for this purpose.

Common cancellation mistakes to avoid

We understand that subscription cancellations often feel frustrating and confusing. Here are the pitfalls we see most often-and how to sidestep them.

Mistake one: cancelling through the wrong channel

Don't assume that cancelling through the app, unsubscribing from marketing emails, or removing your payment method will cancel your membership. These actions don't trigger a cancellation request. Always use the official email address or phone support. If you subscribed through Apple or Google, you must cancel there, not directly with ClubWPT.

Mistake two: relying on a single cancellation attempt

If you email cancel@theclubservices.com and don't receive a confirmation within 48 hours, send a follow-up email and include a screenshot of your first email. If you call and get a verbal confirmation without a follow-up email, you have no written proof. Stopee advises you to use at least two methods-email plus phone, or email plus a follow-up email-to create redundancy.

Mistake three: cancelling without checking your billing date

Cancelling a day after you're billed is far less reliable than cancelling five days before. Mark your billing date in a calendar app and set a reminder to cancel a week in advance. This gives ClubWPT's system time to process your request and prevents an unwanted charge.

Mistake four: not keeping your confirmation email

Delete your confirmation email, and you lose your only proof of cancellation if a dispute arises. Create a dedicated folder in your email labeled "Cancellations" and archive every confirmation. Print a copy or export it as a PDF as well. This record protects you for at least one year (the period in which billing disputes are typically resolved).

Mistake five: assuming your free trial automatically expired

Free trials don't automatically stop billing. Your trial period simply ends and your card is charged on the next renewal date unless you cancel beforehand. If you signed up for a trial but have no intention of paying, cancel during the trial period-not after you're charged.

Checklist for cancelling your ClubWPT membership

Use this step-by-step checklist to ensure you've covered every base before and after your cancellation request.

Before you submit your cancellation

• Find your next billing date (check your email confirmation or account settings)
• Confirm the date is at least five days away; if not, expect your cancellation to take effect on the billing date after next
• Write down your ClubWPT username, full name, email, and phone number
• Decide which cancellation method you'll use (email is most documented)
• Take a screenshot of your current account page showing your membership tier and billing date

When you submit your cancellation

• Send your cancellation request at least five days before your next billing date
• Include a clear statement requesting immediate cancellation
• Include all required account details
• Take a screenshot of the email confirmation receipt (if cancelling by email)
• Write down the date, time, and any confirmation number or agent name (if cancelling by phone)

After submission

• Wait 48 hours for a confirmation email from ClubWPT
• Save and print the confirmation email or export it as a PDF
• Check your billing statement 5-7 days after your expected cancellation to verify you weren't charged
• If you were charged after cancellation, contact ClubWPT support with your confirmation email and ask for an immediate refund
• If the company refuses, file a formal complaint with the GACP

Contact information and cancellation address

Use these official contact details to submit your cancellation and follow up if you don't receive confirmation.

ClubWPT customer support

Primary email (cancellations): cancel@theclubservices.com

General support: Check the ClubWPT website or your account page for the current support phone number, as it may change.

Important: Always verify the email address and phone number on the official ClubWPT website before submitting your cancellation. Do not rely on email addresses or phone numbers found in third-party forums or outdated sources.

Escalation if ClubWPT refuses your cancellation

If ClubWPT refuses to process your cancellation or continues to charge you after you've submitted a formal request, you can file a complaint with the General Authority for Consumer Protection (GACP) in the UAE. You'll need to provide documentation of your cancellation request, the company's refusal or continued billing, and any communications attempting to resolve the issue. Visit the GACP website to file a formal consumer dispute.

Your next step: take control of your subscriptions today

Cancelling a subscription should be straightforward, not a test of your patience. By following this guide, you've armed yourself with the exact steps, the right contact information, and the consumer protections available to you as a resident of the UAE.

Email cancel@theclubservices.com today with your account details and a clear cancellation request. Keep the confirmation email.
