Cancellation guide
How to cancel your Illicit Encounters subscription
Some Illicit Encounters products renew automatically when they expire. The help pages say you contact them to cancel auto-renewal up to 48 hours before your membership is due to expire. The terms say you end the agreement by emailing support@illicitencounters.com.

Before you start
- Find out how you pay: directly on the site, or through Apple or Google Play. The route to cancel is different.
- Note the renewal date in your account and cancel before it.
- Keep the confirmation email or a screenshot, and check your bank statement after the next cycle.
Step by step

Check your expiry date
Note when your Gold or Gold Plus membership expires. You need to cancel at least 48 hours before that.

Email support
Email support@illicitencounters.com from the address on your account, with your profile ID, asking them to cancel auto-renewal (and close the account, if you want that too).
- 3
Or call
The site lists 020 3633 0493 for payment help. Calling is fine, but follow up by email so you have a written record.

Keep the reply
Keep the confirmation reply. Your access continues to the end of the period you paid for.

Check your next statement
Check your bank or card statement around the old expiry date to make sure no renewal went through.
Paid through Apple or Google?
We did not find an official Illicit Encounters app in the UK App Store. If you ever paid through Apple or Google, cancel in your Apple ID subscriptions or Google Play subscriptions; deleting an app does not cancel.

Deleting your profile vs stopping payments
Closing an Illicit Encounters profile is done by request to the online administrator or by email, according to its privacy policy, and cancelling auto-renewal is also a request to the team. Ask for both in the same email and make sure the reply confirms both.
If it still charges you
Contact Illicit Encounters's support with your confirmation and the date you cancelled. If you paid by card and can't get a response, talk to your bank about the payment. If you subscribed through Apple or Google, ask them for help from your purchase history.
