Cancel Loot Crate: The Right Way
How to cancel your loot crate subscription in south africa
What loot crate is and how it works
Loot Crate is a monthly subscription service that delivers curated boxes filled with gaming, pop culture, and entertainment collectibles directly to your door. Each box contains licensed merchandise from franchises, movies, comics, and gaming universes-designed for fans who want exclusive items and surprises delivered on a schedule.
Your subscription renews automatically each month until you cancel it. You manage your account through the Loot Crate website or, if you subscribed via Apple App Store or Google Play, through those platforms instead. This is important: where you bought your subscription determines how you cancel it.
How billing and renewals work
When you subscribe to Loot Crate, charges recur on the same date each month (or every 6 or 12 months, depending on your plan). The service does not stop automatically-you must actively cancel to prevent future charges. Stopee understands how easy it is to forget about subscriptions, so we've created this guide to help you take control.
What's inside each crate
Loot Crate boxes typically include apparel, collectibles, exclusive items, and themed merchandise. The contents vary by subscription tier and the current theme. After you cancel, you'll continue receiving crates you've already paid for until your subscription term ends.
Your consumer rights in south africa
Distance purchase protections under south african law
As a South African consumer, you have statutory rights when you purchase subscriptions online. The Consumer Protection Act and the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act (ECTA) protect you when buying from distance sellers like Loot Crate.
Under these laws, you have the right to cancel certain distance contracts within a cooling-off period. For digital or subscription services, this period is typically 5 business days from the date you enter the contract or receive confirmation. Stopee recommends you keep all confirmation emails as proof of your cancellation date.
What these rights mean for refunds
If you cancel within your legal cooling-off period, you may be entitled to a full refund of charges paid, even if you've received a crate. After this period, Loot Crate's standard policy does not offer refunds for cancellations-but you can escalate disputes to the National Consumer Commission if the company refuses to honour your statutory rights.
If a crate arrives damaged or with missing items, you have 30 days to report the problem. Document the damage with photos and contact Loot Crate support at support@lootcrate.com with your order number and evidence.
How to cancel loot crate on the website
Step-by-step cancellation via the web
If you subscribed directly through Loot Crate's website, this is the fastest and most reliable way to cancel.
- Visit lootcrate.com and log into your account using your email and password.
- Navigate to "My Account" or "My Subscriptions" (exact label may vary).
- Locate your active subscription and select the option to cancel or manage it.
- Follow the prompts and confirm your cancellation request.
- You'll receive a confirmation email-save this as proof.
- Timing matters: cancel at least 48 hours before your next renewal date to avoid being charged for the next billing cycle.
Pro tip: Log in to your account several days before your renewal date to see the exact date you'll be charged. This gives you a safety window to cancel without rushing.
Cancellation by email
If you prefer written confirmation or have trouble cancelling online, you can email Loot Crate directly.
- Send your request to support@lootcrate.com
- Include your account email address, full name, and subscription or order ID
- Write a clear subject line like "Subscription Cancellation Request"
- Send this at least 48 hours before your renewal date
- Request a cancellation confirmation email in reply
Warning: Email cancellations can take 24 to 48 hours to process. If your renewal date is within 48 hours, use the website method instead to avoid being charged.
How to cancel if you subscribed via apple app store or google play
Cancelling an apple subscription
If you signed up for Loot Crate through the Apple App Store on your iPhone or iPad, you must cancel through Apple-not through Loot Crate's website.
- Open the Settings app on your Apple device.
- Tap your name at the top of the screen.
- Select "Subscriptions."
- Find Loot Crate in the list and tap it.
- Tap "Cancel Subscription" and confirm.
- Apple will send you a cancellation confirmation email.
Pro tip: Apple often offers a "pause" option instead of immediate cancellation. You can pause your subscription for up to 3 months and resume later if you change your mind.
Cancelling a google play subscription
If you subscribed through Google Play on an Android device, follow these steps to cancel.
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android phone or tablet.
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner.
- Select "Payments and subscriptions."
- Tap "Subscriptions."
- Choose Loot Crate from the list.
- Tap "Cancel subscription" and follow the prompts to confirm.
- Google will send you a confirmation email.
Warning: Both Apple and Google process cancellations at the end of your current billing period, not immediately. You'll continue to have access to your subscription until that date expires. Check the cancellation confirmation email to see your final billing date.
What happens after you cancel
Your access and crate delivery
Cancelling your subscription is final, but you won't lose access immediately. You'll continue to receive any crates you've already paid for until your current subscription term ends. Stopee wants you to know that this is normal-the company delivers what you've purchased before cutting off service.
After your final crate is delivered and your term expires, you lose access to your account's member-exclusive content and discounts. No refund is issued for the unused portion of the subscription period.
Your account and data
Your account, order history, and personal information stay on file unless you request deletion. If you want your data removed, email support@lootcrate.com with a "Data Deletion Request." South African privacy law (POPIA) gives you the right to request that your personal information be deleted.
You can always reactivate your subscription later by logging back in and choosing a plan-though prices may have changed.
Refunds and early termination fees
Standard refund policy
Loot Crate does not offer refunds for cancelled subscriptions outside of the cooling-off period. There are no prorated refunds-you don't get money back for unused months. To avoid paying for an unwanted renewal, cancel at least 48 hours before your next charge date.
Early termination fees on longer plans
If you've purchased a 6-month or annual plan, Loot Crate may charge an early termination fee instead of offering a refund. These fees are typically ZAR equivalent to what you'd pay for remaining months. Here's what you should know:
| Plan type | Duration | Early termination fee (approx.) |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly | 1 month | None (cancel anytime) |
| Semi-annual | 6 months | ZAR 400-550 |
| Annual (best value) | 12 months | ZAR 650-850 |
Pro tip: If you're considering cancelling a long-term plan, calculate whether the termination fee is less than the remaining months' worth of charges. Sometimes paying the fee is cheaper.
Refunds for damaged or missing items
If a crate arrives with missing items or visible damage, you have 30 days to report it. Email support@lootcrate.com with your order number, photos of the damage, and a description. Loot Crate will investigate and may replace the item or issue a partial refund. Save your packaging as evidence if possible.
Loot crate pricing and subscription plans in south africa
Current subscription options
Loot Crate offers flexibility in how long you commit. The longer your plan, the more you typically save per month. However, exact ZAR pricing varies and changes seasonally.
| Plan | Billing cycle | South African price | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly | Every month | Contact support for current price | Testing the service, flexibility |
| 6-month | Every 6 months | Contact support for current price | Loyal fans, slight discount |
| Annual (annual plan) | Every 12 months | Contact support for current price | Best savings, committed collectors |
Contact Loot Crate support or visit the subscription checkout page on lootcrate.com to see current South African Rand pricing. Currency fluctuations and regional promotions affect costs regularly.
Common mistakes when cancelling loot crate
Timing errors and missed deadlines
We know cancellation deadlines are frustrating. The most common mistake is waiting too close to your renewal date. If you cancel just hours before you're charged, you might not make the 48-hour window.
How to avoid this: Set a phone reminder for 5 days before your renewal date. This gives you a comfortable buffer and prevents surprise charges. You can always reschedule your cancellation if you decide to keep the subscription.
Cancelling on the wrong platform
The second major mistake is trying to cancel through the website when you subscribed via App Store or Google Play (or vice versa). The platforms don't sync cancellations. If you subscribed on Apple, you must cancel on Apple-Loot Crate won't see your request if you email them or use the website.
How to find where you subscribed: Check your bank or payment method statement. It will show either "Apple.com," "Google Play," or "Loot Crate" as the merchant. That's where you cancel.
Forgetting to save your confirmation
Email confirmations are your proof that you cancelled on time. If a charge appears after cancellation, your confirmation is your evidence when disputing the charge with your bank or the National Consumer Commission.
Checklist: steps to successfully cancel loot crate
Use this checklist to ensure you cancel correctly and protect yourself from unwanted charges.

- Save your cancellation confirmation email or screenshot
- Wait 24 hours, then log in to verify your subscription shows as cancelled
- Check your bank statement on the renewal date to confirm no charge appears
- If you're charged after cancellation, dispute it with your bank within 60 days
- Keep all confirmation emails for 3 months as evidence
Why people cancel loot crate and what to consider
Reasons you might want to cancel
Budget constraints, changing interests in collectibles, or simply too many subscriptions-Stopee knows that cancellations are usually the right choice when a service no longer fits your life. Before you cancel, ask yourself: Is this crate still aligned with my interests? Am I actually unboxing and enjoying the items, or do they pile up?
If the answer is no, cancelling frees up money for something you'll use more. Don't feel guilty-subscription services expect cancellations.
Reasons you might keep it
If you genuinely love surprises, want exclusive collectibles you can't buy elsewhere, and have the budget for it, keeping your subscription makes sense. The items often hold resale value. But if you're keeping it "just in case," that's a sign to cancel and resubscribe later if your interests return.
Contact information and escalation
Loot crate customer support
If you encounter problems cancelling or have questions about your subscription, reach out to Loot Crate directly:
Email: support@lootcrate.com
Response time: 24 to 48 hours (sometimes longer during high-volume periods)
What to include in your email: your account email, full name, order number, and a clear description of your issue.
Escalating disputes in south africa
If Loot Crate refuses to honour your cancellation or refund rights, or if charges continue after you cancel, you can lodge a complaint with the National Consumer Commission (NCC). This is your free legal avenue in South Africa. Stopee recommends gathering all your evidence first-confirmation emails, bank statements, and screenshots of your account-before escalating.
Visit the NCC website or call their consumer line if a company ignores your cancellation requests or illegally charges you after you've cancelled.
Final steps and how stopee can help
Cancelling your Loot Crate subscription is straightforward once you know which platform to use and when your renewal date falls. Whether you subscribed on the website, Apple App Store, or Google Play, your cancellation takes effect at the end of your paid term-no surprise charges, no hidden fees, and no reason to delay if this service no longer serves you.
Remember to cancel at least 48 hours before renewal, save your confirmation email, and verify the cancellation a few days later. If charges continue after you've cancelled, dispute them with your bank immediately.
