Chess.com helpline — questions

Support requests go through the Support Messenger, where Chessica routes you to the right team. For privacy or personal data requests, the privacy policy gives [email protected].

  1. Click Support in the bottom-left menu and choose Contact Support.
  2. Click Get Started, then Get more help.
  3. Type 'I want a refund' and follow the prompts to the Billing team.
First-time card and Android subscriptions get a 30-day Money Back Guarantee. Apple purchases are refunded by Apple, and banned accounts get no refund.

Send a refund request through the Support Messenger, the same way as any refund, so the Billing team can review the double charge.

Membership bought on Chess.com is cancelled only on the website: click the cogwheel (Settings), then All Settings, then Membership. Apple or Google Play memberships are cancelled in that store.

Premium stays until the billing period ends, then the account moves to the free Basic plan.

Check the closure email, including spam; if your account can be appealed, it has an appeal button. No email? Open Help & Support, start a conversation with Chessica, choose Get more help and type 'I want to appeal my account closure'.

Give the IP address you are connecting from and the usernames of any earlier Chess.com accounts. RG45 and RP13 usually mean a restriction on the account or the IP address.
