Reservation vs. Actual Charge

If you see a transaction for Viaplay, first check your online banking app to see if it is listed as a 'Reservation' (or 'Authorisation') rather than a completed purchase. Temporary holds are often placed for account validation or when starting a free trial. These usually disappear after a few banking days and no actual payment is processed.

If the transaction is marked as a completed or booked charge, it is a finalized subscription payment or a pay-per-view rental fee.

How to verify your Viaplay subscription

You can find a list of all your past payments, including subscriptions and individual rentals, in the 'Payment details' section of your Viaplay account profile. If you cannot find the charge in your account, ensure you aren't logged into a secondary email address, or check if the billing is being managed by a third-party partner like Apple or your TV provider.
