Cancellation service #1 in Canada
Gamivo is an online marketplace that sells digital game keys, gift cards, and related digital products. It operates as a platform connecting buyers with sellers and offers optional subscription services such as "GAMIVO SMART" that provide benefits like cashback or discounted prices.
In most reports, paid subscriptions remain active until the end of the paid period (no immediate pro‑rated refund) while cancellations during a free trial usually end the trial immediately. Access to SMART benefits (cashback, discounts) typically ends when the subscription stops. Gamivo's rewards/cashback policies state that cashback may not be paid out in cash and may be forfeited if the account is closed.
Users also report occasional delays or refusals when requesting account deletion, even though Gamivo's own terms may specify a timeframe for processing deletion requests. Keep copies of confirmation emails and screenshots as proof of cancellation attempts and dates.
Gamivo's public terms and Help Center do not clearly provide a blanket statutory 14‑day refund policy; refunds are handled case‑by‑case. The company reserves the right to deduct cashback from refunds and may withhold cashback balances if the account is closed. Many users report difficulty obtaining refunds for invalid or region‑locked keys, and in practice some shoppers resort to payment disputes or chargebacks.
There are exceptions under local consumer laws (see the Canada/Quebec section below) and payment providers such as PayPal or credit card issuers can sometimes be used to seek a refund or stop future charges if Gamivo will not cooperate.
| Plan | Price | Period | Features |
|---|---|---|---|
| App Store & iTunes Gift Card | C$20.00 (face value) | One-time | Digital gift card redeemable in Canadian App Store/iTunes |
| Steam Gift Card | C$35.00 (face value) | One-time | Digital Steam wallet card for Canadian accounts |
| Google Play Gift Card | C$10.00 (face value) | One-time | Digital Google Play credit for Canadian accounts |
These are one‑time digital gift card purchases listed in CAD. Gamivo does not list recurring subscription prices for Canada in the public pricing list; additional vendor fees or currency conversion may apply.
Quebec consumers have particularly strong protections: under Quebec law (Consumer Protection Act provisions cited in user reports), merchants must only charge what was advertised and must refund sums paid for accessory contracts such as involuntary subscriptions within 15 days of cancellation in specified circumstances. If you were enrolled in a paid subscription without clear consent, you may have a statutory right to a full refund under Quebec law. For residents outside Quebec, general consumer protection and payment‑dispute routes still apply but rights vary by province.
Reviews are mixed. Many customers praise Gamivo for low prices, fast delivery of legitimate keys, and a smooth purchase flow on positive review sites. At the same time, a significant number of complaints relate to involuntary enrollment in GAMIVO SMART with hidden cancellation controls, delayed confirmation emails, invalid or region‑locked keys, denials of refunds, and slow or unhelpful customer support. These patterns show both reliable service in many cases and recurring support and subscription transparency issues in others.
Common errors include assuming cancellation is completed without confirming the confirmation email (reports indicate cancellation sometimes requires an extra email confirmation), failing to revoke PayPal automatic payments when site cancellation fails, not preserving screenshots and emails as evidence, and waiting too long to dispute charges - especially if you live in a jurisdiction with tight time limits for chargebacks or statutory refund windows. Another frequent mistake is relying only on a generic support ticket without following up or escalating with formal written notice (registered mail) if charges continue.
| Method | Refund | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|
| Cancel via Gamivo SMART page | Refund unlikely automatically; subscription stops (paid term usually runs to end) | Medium - finding the control can be hard; watch for confirmation email |
| Confirm cancellation email | No direct refund; completes cancellation process | Low - simple but depends on receiving the email |
| Revoke Gamivo on PayPal | Stops future charges; refunds must be pursued via PayPal dispute if applicable | Low - straightforward in PayPal settings |
| Registered letter to Malta (formal notice) | May strengthen legal claim and prompt action; refund possible depending on circumstances and local law | High - slower and more formal, but useful as evidence |
| Payment dispute/chargeback (PayPal or card) | Possible refund if bank/processor rules in your favor | Medium to high - depends on evidence and provider policies |
Monitor your bank and PayPal statements for at least one billing cycle to ensure no further charges appear. If unauthorized charges continue, open a dispute with PayPal or contact your card issuer to request a reversal, providing all documentation from this checklist. For legal or formal escalation, send a registered letter to Gamivo's Malta address and keep delivery proof.
