Robinhood Gold is a paid subscription service that automatically renews on a recurring basis, charging your linked payment method unless you cancel before the renewal date.
Robinhood Gold subscribers are automatically charged the monthly or annual subscription fee at each renewal period unless they proactively cancel through the app, which could result in unintended charges for users who no longer actively use the premium features.

(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Automatic renewal provisions are governed by state automatic renewal laws, most notably California Business & Professions Code § 17600-17606 (requiring clear disclosure and affirmative consent before charge), and the FTC's Negative Option Rule (16 CFR Part 425), which was updated in 2023 to require easy cancellation mechanisms. The FTC Act Section 5 prohibits unfair or deceptive subscription practices. ROSCA (Restore Online Shoppers' Confidence Act, 15 U.S.C. § 8401) also applies to online negative-option billing. (2)
