Phone

1. G2A has not published a dedicated phone number for cancellations; use email or the account cancellation instead.
2. If provided by G2A later, request a reference number and confirm the cancellation by email.

Moving / Change of residence

You may cancel if the subscription cannot be used due to relocation only where the service was explicitly tied to a geographic offer that ends. Provide proof such as a tenancy agreement or utility bill showing the new address and a short explanation to [email protected]. If this relates to cancellation of a distance contract started online, the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 apply for the 14-day cooling-off period when relevant. See Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.

Price increase

If G2A increases the price of a recurring subscription mid-contract and you do not accept the increase, you can cancel. Provide the notification from G2A showing the price change and the date you received it. Cancellation on the grounds of a unilateral price increase will rely on the contract terms and the Consumer Rights Act 2015 for assessment of fairness.

Death of the subscriber

To cancel after the death of the subscriber, send a copy of the death certificate and proof of authority (executor or next of kin) to [email protected] and request cancellation and closure of the account. The trader must stop future billing once evidence is received.

Legitimate grounds accepted by G2A

G2A reserves the right to suspend or cancel a G2A PLUS subscription for: violation of Terms and Conditions and/or Regulations by the buyer; insufficient funds for the next settlement period. Provide documentation supporting the ground you assert. These grounds are listed in G2A policies and applied by the company.

End of commitment

When a fixed minimum commitment period expires - for example 1, 3, 6, or 12 months - you can cancel ahead of the next billing cycle by following the Account or email cancellation steps. Keep proof of your cancellation request.

Cooling-off period (14 days)

Under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 customers have a 14-calendar-day right to cancel distance contracts. The right does not apply where digital content or services are supplied and the consumer has expressly agreed that supply begins during the cooling-off period and acknowledged that they lose the right to cancel. See Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.

Additional framework: see Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 for rules allowing extension or clarification of cancellation rights for subscriptions.

Before you cancel - negotiate

G2A does not publish a formal list of retention offers. The research shows no publicly reported retention offers. To request a retention offer, send an email to [email protected] or open a support ticket and ask for a temporary pause, discount, or an alternative plan. State your subscription ID and requested change and keep any written offer as proof.

What cancelling saves - concrete math

Compute annual cost for each listed G2A PLUS plan:

• G2A Plus Premium (Monthly): £2.99 x 12 = £35.88 per year.
• G2A Plus Premium (Quarterly): billed £7.99 every 3 months. Calculation: £7.99 x 4 = £31.96 per year.
• G2A Plus Premium (Annual): billed £11.49 every year. Calculation: £11.49 = £11.49 per year.

Cheapest competitor from our list: Crunch at £94 per month. Crunch annual cost calculation: £94 x 12 = £1,128 per year.

Example savings from cancelling G2A:

• If you cancel the monthly G2A plan you save £35.88 per year (calculation above).
• If you cancel the quarterly plan you save £31.96 per year.
• If you cancel the annual plan you save £11.49 per year.

Switching from G2A to Crunch increases annual cost by: Crunch yearly £1,128 - G2A monthly yearly £35.88 = £1,092.12 more per year.

Key UK laws and regulator

Primary protections: Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 and the Consumer Rights Act 2015. For subscription market rules and tougher controls on auto-renewal, see the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024. For details of the 2013 Regulations see legislation.gov.uk. For the 2024 Act see section 267.

Cooling-off and digital content exception

The Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 give a 14-calendar-day right to cancel most online distance contracts with a refund. If you requested immediate supply and acknowledged losing the right to cancel, you lose the cooling-off right for digital content after supply begins.

Refunds and performance standards

The Consumer Rights Act 2015 requires services to be performed with reasonable care and skill and prohibits unfair contract terms. G2A's published position states that cancellation of G2A PLUS premium does not guarantee a refund of fees paid before receipt of a cancellation notice.

How to escalate

1. Complain to G2A first using [email protected] and keep records. 2. If unresolved, contact Citizens Advice for guidance. 3. For potential unfair auto-renewal practices contact the Competition and Markets Authority. 4. For card payments, consider a Section 75 claim or a chargeback via your card issuer if the payment qualifies.

Official government guidance on consumer cancellation rules is available at consumer contracts guidance PDF.

Access and billing

After cancellation you keep access to G2A PLUS until the end of the current billing period. Cancellation stops future billing; it does not automatically create a refund for prior months.

Data and account closure

To remove personal data, request account deletion via [email protected] or the help centre. Keep a copy of the deletion request and the confirmation from G2A.

Checking final charges

Check your bank or card statements for any charges after cancellation. If you see unexpected charges, raise a dispute with G2A and save all correspondence. If unresolved, consider a card chargeback or Section 75 claim for qualifying purchases.

Use this checklist to complete and document your cancellation.

• Find your subscription ID and the email used for the G2A account.
• Decide your cancellation channel: Account, email, support ticket or registered post.
• If using Account, cancel online and take a screenshot of the confirmation.
• If using email, send to [email protected] with subject Cancel G2A PLUS - [your email] and save the sent message.
• If using post, send a registered letter to G2A, 207 Regent Street, W1B 3HH London, United Kingdom and keep the receipt.
• Record dates: request date and expected end of billing period.
• Check for a confirmation email or ticket response and save it as proof.
• Check card/bank statements for follow-up charges within 14 days of cancellation.
• If you believe you are owed a refund and G2A refuses, gather evidence and contact Citizens Advice or consider Section 75/chargeback.
• Request account deletion separately if you want your data removed.
