How to unsubscribe from Roku emails
The fastest way to unsubscribe from Roku emails is your account page: sign in at my.roku.com, select Email communications, and uncheck the box under Email preferences. That single checkbox is Roku's entire marketing opt-out - it covers the channel recommendations, special offers, and "what to watch" mail from Roku itself. What it does not cover: emails from the streaming channels you subscribe to through your Roku, and purchase or payment receipts. And if you searched this meaning "cancel my Roku subscription," that is a separate screen, covered below.

Method 1: uncheck the box at my.roku.com (recommended)
- Sign in at my.roku.com with the account email that receives the marketing.
- Select Email communications.
- Uncheck the box under Email preferences.
Done - Roku uses one master toggle rather than a per-list grid, which makes it one of the simplest opt-outs in streaming. If you change your mind, recheck the box to resubscribe.
One thing the email checkbox does not control: promotions on the Roku device itself. Home-screen offers and sponsored rows are part of the Roku OS, and ad personalization is managed on the device under Settings, then Privacy - no email setting touches them.
Method 2: the footer unsubscribe link
Open any recent Roku marketing email, scroll to the footer, and select Unsubscribe - Roku's documented alternative, no login required, ending on a confirmation page. Gmail and Apple Mail also show a native one-click Unsubscribe button at the top of Roku marketing mail via the List-Unsubscribe header.
Method 3: deal with the channel senders separately
Here is the Roku-specific catch: unchecking Roku's box does nothing about the services you watch through Roku. Subscribe to a channel via Roku Pay and that service still emails you from its own domain with its own lists - Roku cannot opt you out of them. Each needs its own pass: see our guides for discovery+ and Hulu, two of the chattiest channel-store senders.
Unsubscribing is not canceling: managing Roku subscriptions
Searching "Roku unsubscribe" often means canceling a paid channel. That lives at my.roku.com under Manage your subscriptions, or on the device: highlight the channel tile, press the Star button, and choose Manage subscription. Canceling a channel stops its Roku Pay billing but not its marketing email - the service keeps your address, so unsubscribe from its emails too if you want silence.
Verify it actually stopped
Roku's own mail should go quiet within days of unchecking the box; anything arriving after a couple of weeks is usually a channel sender wearing Roku branding in the subject line - check the actual From address. ClearMyInbox closes the loop by re-checking the sender about 30 days after your opt-out and labeling it Confirmed stopped or flagging it as still emailing. For mailbox-side filters to catch stragglers, see how to stop unwanted emails on Gmail.
What stays on: transactional email
Roku states this directly in its support article: purchase confirmations, payment and billing notices, and password-change emails keep coming after you unsubscribe. Those are transactional, tied to account activity rather than any marketing list, and the same applies to Roku Pay receipts for channel subscriptions.
Frequently asked questions
Does unsubscribing from Roku emails cancel my channel subscriptions?▾
No. Email opt-out and subscriptions are unrelated. Channels you pay for through Roku Pay keep billing until you cancel them under Manage your subscriptions at my.roku.com or on the device (highlight the channel, press Star, choose Manage subscription).
Where are the Roku email settings?▾
Sign in at my.roku.com, select Email communications, and uncheck the box under Email preferences. Roku confirms this in its official support article, and you can recheck the box anytime to resubscribe.
Why am I still getting emails after unchecking the Roku box?▾
Two usual reasons. Transactional email - purchase receipts, payment notices, password changes - continues regardless. And mail from channels you subscribed to through Roku, like a streaming service newsletter, comes from that service directly and needs its own opt-out.
How do I stop the offers and ads on the Roku device itself?▾
The email checkbox does not touch the device. On-screen promotions and personalized ads are controlled on the device under Settings then Privacy, where you can limit ad tracking. Home-screen offers are part of the Roku OS and cannot be fully removed.
Does Roku honor one-click unsubscribe in Gmail?▾
Yes. Roku marketing email includes the standard List-Unsubscribe header, so the Unsubscribe button Gmail and Apple Mail show at the top of the message works, as does the footer link Roku documents in its support article.
