Charged After Cancelling BadoinkVR

The overwhelmingly common reason a BadoinkVR charge survives a cancellation is that the subscription was never held by BadoinkVR. If you subscribed inside your headset, the store owns the billing relationship and nothing you do on the website can touch it — the site will even show you as cancelled while the store keeps charging.

What is actually happening on BadoinkVR

BadoinkVR sits in a family of sibling VR sites sold at the same checkout, so a second membership from one sign-up is common. Add the site-or-store question on top and there are two independent reasons a charge can survive a cancellation here.

Check your headset store subscriptions

Open the subscriptions list in your headset's account settings, not in the app. An app-store subscription is a contract between you and Meta, Apple, Google or Steam. The site cannot cancel it, cannot see it, and cannot refund it, and support will tell you so.

BadoinkVR is sold alongside sibling VR sites in bundles. Cancelling one site can leave a bundle membership live.

If it is genuinely site-held

If the store list is empty, the subscription is site-held and the ordinary rules apply: check the term length, because VR memberships are sold on long terms far more often than monthly ones, and check for a sibling site taken at the same checkout, because VR studios cross-sell heavily.

When the next charge would land

Trial converts automatically. If you took a headset bundle, check the minimum term attached to it before cancelling, because that is a commitment rather than a rolling month.

The long-term problem

If the store list is empty then the subscription is site-held, and the processor named on your statement can revoke it. VR memberships are the most expensive recurring products in this whole category and are usually sold on long terms, so a mandate left alive here costs considerably more than one left alive elsewhere.

Reading the charge before you dispute it

A processor descriptor, or the store name for in-store subscriptions.

The evidence to keep

Whatever the cause turns out to be, keep three things: the cancellation confirmation with its date, a screenshot of the account page showing the subscription as inactive, and the full descriptor text from the statement. A chargeback is decided on documentation rather than on account, and a bank that can see a dated confirmation against an undated denial resolves it quickly. Raise it with the merchant or processor first — going straight to a chargeback can get the account closed and any content you still have access to along with it.

Where the cancellation should have happened

Cancel via the billing provider on the membership, or the headset store if that is where you subscribed.

The charge that cannot come back

Every problem on this page exists because someone else holds a standing permission to take your money. A one-time payment does not have that shape: there is no mandate, no renewal date, no processor, and no second membership that can appear from a checkout you half-read. Selected Content is built that way — one payment, permanent access, unlimited downloads, new content every week, and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
