How hard is it to cancel EVE Online?

Subscriptions can be cancelled online at any time via Account Management (Account Info > Cancel Subscription), available for Credit Card and PayPal recurring plans only. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period — the account reverts to free Alpha state when remaining game time runs out, with no mid-cycle proration. Per the EULA, all fees are non-refundable; refund requests via support ticket are possible but unlikely to be granted for already-used Omega time or PLEX. No subscription pause or freeze option exists.

Scope & fairness

This is the Documented-Policy tier: it measures how clearly the cancellation policy is published (cited, dated facts), not the behavioural experience of cancelling (Verified-Flow audit pending). Every company is scored on the same five dimensions with the same published weights — scores cannot be bought or removed. It is opinion grounded in disclosed facts, and not legal advice.
