Cancel Racing Tv: Step-by-Step Guide
How to cancel racing TV in south africa: your complete step-by-step guide
What is racing TV
Racing TV is a subscription service that brings live horse racing coverage, expert commentary and on-demand racing content directly to your screen. If you subscribe, you gain access to broadcasts and exclusive racing material as long as your subscription remains active and you comply with the provider's terms.
How racing TV works
The service reaches you through their website and native mobile apps, with some subscriptions managed directly by Racing TV and others processed through third-party platforms like the Apple App Store or Google Play. Your subscription agreement outlines the minimum contract period, billing cycle, fees such as connection charges, and other important terms you should review before cancelling.
Where racing TV operates
Racing TV serves subscribers across multiple territories including the United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland and other regions. While specific South African pricing was not publicly available at the time of this guide's creation, if you have subscribed to Racing TV through any of these channels, the cancellation process and your consumer rights remain consistent. Visit your account page or contact Racing TV directly for current pricing information relevant to your location.
Your consumer rights when cancelling racing TV
South African consumer law provides you with specific protections when you subscribe to services like Racing TV. Understanding these rights empowers you to cancel fairly and recover money where you are entitled to it.
The 14-day cooling-off period
If you subscribed to Racing TV directly through their website, you have the right to cancel within 14 days of purchase without penalty under consumer protection legislation. During this period, you will be charged only for the days of service you actually used. Important: connection fees are non-refundable even if you cancel during the cooling-off window, so factor that into your decision.
Your right to cancel due to service changes
If Racing TV makes a material change to the service that negatively affects you, such as removing significant racing programmes, reducing broadcast quality or altering contract terms to your disadvantage, you have the right to cancel by providing at least one month's written or verbal notice. You must exercise this right within 30 days of being notified of the change. If the channel is withdrawn entirely during your minimum contract term and you paid annually, you can request a pro-rata refund for the unused portion of your payment.
Your protection against unfair contract terms
Consumer protection legislation in South Africa protects you from unfair contract terms. If Racing TV's cancellation process, fees or notice periods seem unreasonable or if the provider refuses to honour standard consumer rights, you have grounds to escalate your complaint to the relevant consumer authority. Stopee recommends documenting all communication with Racing TV to support any future dispute.
Methods to cancel racing TV
Cancelling Racing TV depends on how you originally subscribed and which platform you use. Below are the main cancellation routes available to you.
Cancel a direct web subscription
If you signed up directly through the Racing TV website, you will cancel directly with them rather than through a third party. This typically offers the most straightforward path to cancellation, though it requires you to contact them proactively. Most providers do not cancel subscriptions automatically, so you must initiate the process yourself.
Cancel through the apple app store
If you subscribed to Racing TV via your iPhone or iPad through the Apple App Store, you cannot cancel through Racing TV itself. Instead, you manage this subscription entirely within your Apple account. Any renewal or cancellation request goes through Apple, not Racing TV directly.
Cancel through google play
Android users who subscribed via Google Play follow the same principle as Apple users. Your subscription lives in your Google account, and you cancel it there. Racing TV has no access to these platform-managed subscriptions, so contacting the channel directly about an app store subscription will not work.
Step-by-step: how to cancel racing TV
Follow the steps that match your subscription method to cancel quickly and avoid common pitfalls. Stopee has helped thousands of consumers navigate this process, and these steps reflect real user experience and current platform requirements.
Cancel your direct racing TV web subscription
- Log into your Racing TV account on the official website using your email and password.
- If you have forgotten your password, use the "Forgot password" link on the login page.
- Write down your account email address; you will need it for reference.
- Navigate to your account settings or subscription management page.
- Look for tabs labelled "Account", "Billing", "Subscriptions" or "My plan".
- Some providers hide this in a menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the top right corner.
- Locate the cancellation or subscription management option and select it.
- You may see a button labelled "Cancel subscription", "Manage plan" or "End membership".
- Click this option to proceed.
- Review the cancellation summary and confirm your choice.
- Warning: Some providers show you a discounted renewal offer at this stage. Ignore this if you genuinely want to cancel.
- Note the date your access will end.
- Receive and save your cancellation confirmation.
- Racing TV should email you a confirmation within minutes.
- Save this email; it proves you cancelled and is essential if you later dispute a charge.
- Verify that automatic renewals have stopped.
- Check your account again 24 hours later to confirm the "Renew" or "Auto-pay" toggle is now off.
- Screenshot this for your records.
Cancel racing TV via apple app store
- Open the Apple App Store app on your iPhone, iPad or Mac.

- Pro tip: if Apple offers a discount, ignore it unless you genuinely want to continue.
- Confirm the cancellation is active by returning to your subscriptions list.
- The Racing TV subscription should now show as "Cancelled" with an expiry date.
Cancel racing TV via google play
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
- You cannot complete this process from a web browser; you must use the app.
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner.
- This usually appears as a circular image or initial.

- The exact wording depends on your Android version.

- Confirm the cancellation in your subscriptions list.
- Racing TV should no longer appear as an active subscription.
Cancel by phone or post
If you prefer to cancel by telephone or written correspondence, Racing TV's contact details are listed in their terms and conditions. Phone cancellation is often the fastest method if you want immediate confirmation. For written cancellation, use registered post so you have proof of delivery. Include your account number, full name, date of birth and the date you wish the cancellation to take effect.
What happens after you cancel racing TV
Cancelling your subscription does not happen instantly, and understanding the timeline helps you avoid unexpected charges and plan your viewing accordingly.
Access and service continuity after cancellation
After you cancel, your access typically continues until the end of any paid period you have already purchased. If you paid for a monthly subscription and cancel mid-month, you retain access until the first of the following month. If you subscribed annually and cancel during the cooling-off period, you keep access for the days of service you have paid for, with charges reduced to reflect only those days used.
Pro tip: note your final access date in your calendar so you are not surprised when your login stops working.
Automatic renewal stops
Once you successfully cancel, Racing TV will not renew your subscription at the end of your current billing period. No further charges should appear on your payment method. However, if you subscribed through the Apple App Store or Google Play, the cancellation must be processed through those platforms for the automatic renewal to stop completely.
Your account data and history
Racing TV retains your viewing history and account data according to their privacy policy. If you wish to delete this information, check your account settings for a data deletion option or contact Racing TV's privacy team directly. Stopee recommends requesting confirmation in writing that your data has been deleted, as this creates a paper trail if issues arise later.
Refunds: what you can recover when you cancel racing TV
Your refund entitlement depends on when you cancel, how you subscribed and whether the service has changed. Stopee has identified the key refund scenarios below.
Refunds during the 14-day cooling-off period
Within 14 days of your initial subscription, you can cancel and receive a refund for all charges except non-refundable fees such as connection costs. You will be charged only for the days of service you actually used during this period. If you subscribed on a Monday and cancel on a Thursday, you pay for those four days only; the remainder is refunded.
Refunds when racing TV withdraws or changes the service materially
If Racing TV removes significant racing programmes, reduces service quality substantially or changes contract terms to your clear disadvantage, you have the right to cancel and potentially recover money. If you paid annually for the full year and the service is withdrawn during your minimum contract term, you can request a pro-rata refund for the unused months or weeks remaining in your subscription.
| Cancellation scenario | Refund eligibility | Non-refundable fees |
|---|---|---|
| Within 14-day cooling-off period | Yes: service used only | Connection fee |
| Service withdrawn during minimum term (paid annually) | Yes: pro-rata unused portion | None stated |
| Material service change within 30 days of notice | Yes: check contract | Connection fee |
| After cooling-off period and no service change | No | All fees |
| App store subscription (Apple/Google) | Governed by app store policy | Varies by platform |
Refunds outside these conditions
If your cancellation falls outside the cooling-off period and Racing TV has not withdrawn the service or made material changes, you typically have no refund right. Stopee always recommends checking your contract for exceptions or special circumstances. If Racing TV refuses a refund you believe you are entitled to, escalate your complaint in writing and reference the relevant consumer protection act section.
Common cancellation mistakes to avoid
Cancelling a subscription feels straightforward until you realise you have made an error that costs you money or creates weeks of delay. Below are the pitfalls Stopee sees most often, and how to sidestep them.
Mistake 1: confusing the app cancellation with account cancellation
Uninstalling the Racing TV app from your phone does not cancel your subscription. Many subscribers believe deleting the app will stop charges, but the subscription continues in the background. If you subscribed through the web or a third-party platform, you must cancel through that same channel. Stopee strongly advises logging into your account to verify cancellation is active, not just relying on app removal.
Mistake 2: cancelling within the cooling-off period but not requesting the refund explicitly
Simply cancelling your subscription does not automatically trigger a refund. Within the 14-day period, you must submit a refund request in addition to cancelling. Some providers require a separate form or email; check your cancellation confirmation to see if you need to take a further step. If you do not request the refund within the cooling-off window, you forfeit it entirely.
Mistake 3: not saving your cancellation confirmation
If you cancel online and do not receive a confirmation email within 24 hours, your cancellation may not have processed. Take a screenshot of the confirmation page and save the email. This evidence is invaluable if Racing TV later claims you never cancelled and charges you for a renewal period. Stopee recommends creating a dedicated folder for all cancellation proofs.
Mistake 4: forgetting to cancel through the app store
If you subscribed via Apple or Google, cancelling your Racing TV account does not stop app store charges. You must cancel through the app store itself. Many users contact Racing TV support expecting them to cancel the app subscription, only to be told Racing TV cannot access it. Handle both steps separately: cancel Racing TV directly, and cancel the app store subscription independently.
Mistake 5: not checking that auto-renewal has actually stopped
After cancelling, verify within 48 hours that the auto-renewal toggle is off in your account. Some platforms re-enable auto-renewal without warning or show misleading statuses. Screenshot your account page showing auto-renewal is disabled. If you are charged after cancellation, this screenshot is your first evidence that Racing TV failed to honour your cancellation request.
Your racing TV cancellation checklist
Use this checklist to track your cancellation step by step and ensure nothing is missed.
| Action | Completed | Date completed |
|---|---|---|
| Reviewed my subscription method (web, Apple, Google) | ☐ | |
| Checked if I am within the 14-day cooling-off period | ☐ | |
| Cancelled through the correct platform | ☐ | |
| Received and saved cancellation confirmation email | ☐ | |
| Requested refund if within cooling-off period | ☐ | |
| Verified auto-renewal is disabled (checked 48 hours later) | ☐ | |
| Noted final access date in calendar | ☐ |
When to escalate: your rights if racing TV refuses to cancel
If Racing TV does not honour your cancellation request or withholds a refund you are entitled to, you have formal escalation paths available under South African consumer protection law.
Step 1: contact racing TV in writing
Send a formal letter or email to Racing TV's customer service address stating that you cancelled on a specific date and were not given a refund you are entitled to. Include your account number, subscription start date, cancellation date and the amount you wish recovered. Keep a copy of this letter and proof it was sent or delivered. Allow Racing TV 14 days to respond.
Step 2: escalate to the relevant consumer authority
If Racing TV does not respond or refuses your legitimate refund claim, escalate your complaint to the consumer protection authority in the jurisdiction where Racing TV is registered. Provide copies of your cancellation confirmation, all correspondence with Racing TV and evidence of your refund entitlement. Stopee advises including a timeline showing when you cancelled, when you requested the refund and when Racing TV failed to respond.
Step 3: consider small claims court or arbitration
If the amount owed is modest (typically under 10,000 ZAR), small claims court or arbitration may be faster and more cost-effective than pursuing full litigation. Many consumer protection frameworks allow you to file a complaint without a lawyer. Stopee recommends consulting a consumer rights organisation in your region if you reach this stage.
