Cancellation service #1 in Canada
Bigo Live is a live-streaming social app that lets users watch and broadcast video, interact with hosts, send virtual gifts (diamonds/beans) and subscribe to VIP features. It combines real-time chat, multi-guest rooms and interactive features such as PKs and translation tools to connect audiences with broadcasters worldwide.
Cancelling a subscription stops future automatic renewals but typically does not remove access until the current paid period ends; you will retain VIP features through the paid term. Your account remains active and any non-consumable purchases already delivered will usually remain in your account. Bigo may retain account and transaction data according to its privacy and terms for fraud prevention, support and legal compliance.
Bigo’s published policy states "All Sales Final" (effective January 2025): purchases of diamonds/beans and VIP subscriptions are non-refundable once finalized, in line with common digital-goods practice. Exceptions exist for technical defects (failed credit, delayed or missing credit) and unauthorized charges. To request review, submit evidence (order ID, transaction details, screenshots) to [email protected]. For unauthorized charges, evidence should be sent within 24 hours where possible; support aims to respond within 24 - 72 hours, and refunds (when approved) are typically processed in 3 - 30 days. Chargebacks through your bank or app store may succeed in some cases (estimated 20 - 30%) but can risk account suspension or bans, so consider contacting Bigo support first.

Canadian consumer protection generally provides a 14-day "cooling-off" period for certain unsolicited contracts, but digital goods (in-app diamonds, subscriptions) are often exempt once delivery begins. Bigo’s "all sales final" policy aligns with common industry practice; however, Canadian users retain rights for defective services or unauthorized charges and can pursue dispute routes through their payment provider or card issuer. If Bigo support does not resolve a legitimate unauthorized or faulty charge, you may escalate through your bank, card network or provincial consumer protection agencies.
Users praise Bigo for global reach, smooth streaming, community engagement and interactive features that make supporting broadcasters easy. At the same time, common complaints include moderation gaps (reports of inappropriate content), problems with diamond/bean transactions, failed withdrawals or payment issues, and privacy or transparency concerns. Experiences vary widely by user and by how promptly support responds to transaction problems.
Common errors include cancelling too late (after the 48-hour or 2-day cutoff), cancelling in one place while the subscription is charged through another platform (for example cancelling in-app while billed via App Store or Google Play), assuming a refund will be automatic after cancellation, and initiating chargebacks before contacting support. Example: a user cancels VIP in the app but forgets to cancel the App Store subscription, which results in another renewal.
| Method | Refund | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|
| iOS (App Store) cancellation | Generally no (stops future renewals). Refund only via exception through Apple/Bigo for technical or unauthorized issues. | Medium |
| Android (Google Play) cancellation | Generally no (stops future renewals). Refund only via exception through Google/Bigo for technical or unauthorized issues. | Medium |
| Web / in-app VIP cancellation | Generally no. Exceptions handled by Bigo support for technical faults or unauthorized charges. | Low - Medium |
| Chargeback / bank dispute | Possible (estimated 20 - 30% success in some cases) but not guaranteed; carries risk of account suspension or ban. | High |
Keep copies of receipts and any correspondence. If you believe you qualify for a refund or experienced a technical failure, email [email protected] with the documentation checklist items. For platform-specific support and dispute options, see: Apple Subscriptions (manage or cancel), Google Play Subscriptions, and PayPal dispute process. If Bigo support cannot resolve an unauthorized or defective charge, contact your card issuer or payment provider to learn about dispute/chargeback timelines and required documentation.
To escalate in writing, send correspondence via raccomandata A/R to the corporate headquarters address:
