Need help finding the meaning of this

[NiceCold]

i got free trial of game mine service. 10 day trial. now im canceling it but on the screen before canceling it says :


"$50.00 authorization is assessed for each outstanding game and is removed when returned"

what does that mean? does it mean after i click cancel it will claim 50 dollar from my bank then after they receive the returned game they will give back the 50?

Did you give this service your bank or CC details already, in order to sign up?

Sounds like you should have read the fine print. Is this some sort of game "loaning" service?

Yup, it's a game rental service basically:

It sounds like a $50 hold that is released when you return the game so I would plan on their being a $50 charge on your bank account.

That's what I gather as well. They're pre-charging you for their "lost" game, but you get it back when they get their game back. It's better for them than trying to go after you after you've been inactive for a while.
