About Moonton
Moonton (Shanghai Moonton Technology Co., Ltd.) is a Chinese video game developer and publisher best known for the mobile MOBA game Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB). The company develops and operates free‑to‑play mobile games that generate revenue through in‑app purchases such as hero skins, battle passes, in‑game currency (“Diamonds”), and seasonal events. Purchases are typically processed through app stores like Google Play, Apple’s App Store, Huawei AppGallery, and others, and may appear under the names “MOONTON,” “Mobile Legends,” or Moonton’s legacy billing name “YoungJoy Technology Limited.”
A Moonton charge usually appears on a bank or card statement when you (or someone with access to your device/account) buy in‑game items or currency in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang or another Moonton title. These can be one‑time purchases (for example, a Diamond bundle or hero skin), recurring subscriptions such as Starlight Membership or other passes, or limited‑time promotional bundles. You may also see small temporary authorization holds when you first add or update a payment method in the app store; these are test charges placed by the store, not Moonton directly, and they typically disappear within a few days. Parents often encounter Moonton charges when a child makes purchases on a shared device through Google Play or the App Store.
If you’re unsure about a Moonton charge, first open the app store used on the device (Google Play, App Store, etc.) and check your purchase history for the exact date and amount; this will usually show the specific in‑game item or package bought. Within Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, you can also open Settings ▶ Customer Service ▶ Transaction or Billing to review order details and contact support. For unauthorized or accidental purchases, you generally need to request a refund through the relevant app store (Google, Apple, etc.), though Moonton’s support team can help check whether an order was credited to a game account and advise on next steps. Common issues—like duplicate charges, delayed Diamonds, or a subscription you meant to cancel—are typically resolved by confirming your order ID (from the store receipt email) and, if needed, adjusting or cancelling subscriptions via your app store’s subscription management page.
