ExpressVPN has removed its 30-day money-back guarantee for new subscribers following its recently announced 2026 World Cup sponsorship and ticket draw.

In its updated terms of service, the company says the "promotional benefit" of the raffle "cannot be combined with the money-back guarantee".

Removing the money-back guarantee while hosting a World Cup raffle makes sense, given that people could repeatedly sign up in a bid to boost their chances of winning a ticket before canceling their subscriptions after the winner is announced.

However, if you're new to VPNs, we always recommend using a service with a money-back guarantee. It gives you the time you need to get used to a VPN, install it on all your devices, and be 100% sure you're happy before committing your funds.

So, if this has put you off ExpressVPN for now, which VPNs should you choose? More importantly in this instance, which VPNs go above and beyond, offering bigger guarantees than most.
