What is Big Fish Game Club
Overview
Big Fish Game Club is a subscription offering tied to Big Fish Games that provides members with benefits such as credits, discounts, and access to purchased titles through the Big Fish ecosystem.
Membership purpose
The Club primarily supports players who frequently buy casual games from Big Fish and want recurring benefits and store credits.
How to cancel Big Fish Game Club
Cancel via Big Fish website
- Sign in to your account on the Big Fish site.
- Go to the "My Game Club" page in your account settings.
- Click "Cancel/Edit" or "Cancel Membership" and follow the prompts to confirm cancellation.
- Ensure you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing cycle to avoid the next charge.
Cancel via app stores
- If you bought the subscription through the Apple App Store or Google Play, cancel directly through that provider.
- Big Fish cannot cancel App Store or Google Play subscriptions for you; use Apple or Google account subscription settings instead.
What happens when you cancel
Access after cancellation
After you cancel a web subscription, you keep access to purchased games and any earned points or credits until the end of the current billing cycle.
Renewal and billing
Cancelling stops future automatic renewals if done at least 24 hours before the next billing date.
If you do not cancel in time, you may be charged for the following cycle and will need to cancel again to stop further renewals.
Will I get a refund?
Big Fish policy
Big Fish's Game Club Terms of Use state that membership payments and purchases are non-refundable.
The terms also say that cancelling or deleting your account does not entitle you to refund, credit, or compensation.
Possible exceptions and alternatives
- If digital content is faulty, misrepresented, or not fit for purpose, New Zealand consumer law may provide remedies despite Big Fish's no-refund terms.
- If you purchased through Apple or Google, you can request refunds using their respective refund processes and policies.

Your consumer rights in New Zealand
Statutory protections
Under New Zealand law (for example, the Consumer Guarantees Act and the Fair Trading Act), consumers have rights to goods and digital content that are of acceptable quality and as described.
Applying those rights
- Terms that exclude statutory rights are generally unenforceable in NZ.
- If digital content is faulty, misrepresented, or not fit for purpose, you may be entitled to a remedy even if Big Fish's terms say no refunds.
- For purchases via Apple or Google, use their refund and dispute routes in addition to NZ consumer protection options.
Customer experiences
Positive experiences
Some long-time users report value in retaining access to a large library of purchased games and credits after cancelling.
Examples include users keeping significant remaining credits and many owned titles accessible through their accounts.
Negative experiences
Other users report technical issues such as inability to download or run games after updates, crashes, or Game Manager problems.
Complaints also include slow or unhelpful support, billing disputes, and allegations of wrongful charges or loss of access, especially among non-US customers.
Documentation checklist
What to gather before contacting support
- Account email and username used with Big Fish.
- Order numbers, subscription receipts, and payment dates.
- Screenshots showing subscription status, error messages, or billing charges.
Additional evidence for disputes
- Correspondence with Big Fish support (emails, ticket numbers, dates).
- Payment method statements or card transaction records showing charges.
- Device and platform details (Windows/Mac, browser, or app store used).
Common mistakes
Missing the cancellation window
Many customers assume cancelling on the billing date is enough; however, Big Fish requires cancellation at least 24 hours before the cycle ends to prevent renewal.
Trying to cancel through the wrong channel
Purchases made through Apple or Google must be cancelled via those providers. Contacting Big Fish will not stop App Store or Google Play renewals.
Not keeping proof
Failing to save receipts, screenshots, or confirmation emails makes disputes and refund requests harder to pursue with support or your payment provider.
