Understanding Blizzard Charges
Unreviewed registry note: A line item showing BLIZZARD* ENTERTAINMENT on your credit card or bank statement points to a digital purchase processed through the Battle.net platform. This charge is billed by Blizzard Entertainment, Inc., the video game publisher behind titles like World of Warcraft, Diablo, Overwatch, and Hearthstone. In most cases, the entry represents a Battle.net Game Time or Digital Purchase tied to an active gaming account registered to you or someone in your home. Charges typically start at $14.99 for a monthly subscription renewal, while larger purchases can reach $49.99, $69.99, or $99.99 for digital game editions and virtual currency bundles.
Unreviewed registry note: The most frequent trigger for this charge is an automatic renewal for World of Warcraft game time. When you set up game access, Blizzard enrolls your payment method in a recurring plan that renews automatically on a monthly or multi-month cycle until you manually turn it off. Another common reason is an in-game purchase. Buying Overwatch Coins, Diablo Platinum, Hearthstone card packs, or adding funds to your digital Battle.net balance will trigger the same descriptor. If you share a computer or console with family members, someone in your household may have bought digital items on a saved card without realizing it charged immediately.
