AvaBet offers players great odds to enjoy daily, with an average payout percentage of up to 94%. This number can often be even higher in the most popular sports on the site, and the odds are calculated live individually by more than 300 traders. With more minor marks, there can be a lot of variances when it comes to the odds.

The odds from Avabet seemed fair when I compared it to some of the major bookmakers. I did not feel like any of the odds were particularly significant, but I did not feel like I was being short-changed when accepting the odds.

When I sign-up for a bookmaker, I usually change the odds to decimal. With Avabet, this was a quick process as I selected the gear icon just above the bet slip and then selected my favourite representation from the odds format drop-down. Avabet ensures you have your favourite available by offering odds in fractional, decimal, American, Hong Kong, Malay and Indo.

At Avabet, you will find the most significant sports available, such as football, basketball, tennis and over 40 other sports. However, I found no horse or greyhound racing available anywhere on the site. This is a glaring omission since it is one of the favourite sports to bet on for the average punter.

As to the variety of markets on offer, this was rather staggering in some matches. I could bet on every conceivable outcome in a game, especially regarding football.

Also, newer entries like esports and virtual sports are gathering much traction with players. Especially, there a number of gaming houses that offer virtual sports. Virtual sports offer an immersive gaming experience, with realistic graphics and sound effects.

AvaBet provides players with a fantastic opportunity to cashout early on almost all the bets they make on the site. You can recognize the bets where cashout is available from the "$" logo next to the markets where you can use the cashout option. After placing the bet, click on the button with the logo if you want to make a cashout.

You can choose whether to cash out your entire bet or only make a partial cash out using the slider in the cashout pop-up. The more likely your chance is to win, the larger the cashout sum on offer will be.

Live betting is naturally available at AvaBet, and the in-play options on the site are excellent. Almost all matches on the site have dozens of betting options to choose from live, and you can follow the action through a game centre where meaningful stats and events of the match in question will be posted live.

Regarding finding a live match, AvaBet offers a handy In-Play section. In the Overview, you can find all the recent games in a quick and convenient list, which I feel like some bookmakers could also adopt. It makes finding a bet very quick, giving you enough information to decide if you want to look into pursuing a bet or would instead move on.

In Event View, you have basically the same information as you would find in the Overview. However, now you have all the markets available as well. Also rather handy is an event tracker located to the right of the screen, giving constant information on the game.

Additionally, the Calendar menu shows you the next seven days of events, laid out for those that like planning and the Results menu will provide you with the outcomes of past matches in case you would like to do some research. 

AvaBet has decided not to launch its mobile app, but you can bet on the site without clogging your device's memory. AvaBet can be enjoyed through your browser, whether using a smartphone or tablet.

Having the option of a mobile app would be nice, but nearly all the desktop features are available on mobile as well. The mobile version of AvaBet dashes, and navigating the site is simple and easy.

Customer support is an area where a bookmaker either shines or they do not. There are no half-measures when it comes to dealing with your patrons.

Like all self-respecting sites, AvaBet offers its players excellent customer service options. You can contact Ava's helpful team around the clock, 24/7, by email or live chat, although you need an account to use the email option.

However, if you prefer to do some digging yourself, you could also consult the FAQ, which you can access along with all the other Help section topics from the bottom of the page.

Before you can make a deposit or place a bet with Avabet, you need to verify your account, which is something I would instead get out of the way at the start. With some bookmakers, this could prove to be an arduous task that completely put you off the site; however, with Avabet, this was as quick and painless as they could make it. This can be done quickly by sending them a picture of your passport, national id card or driving licence.

In addition to this, you may also be asked to present the following:

• Address confirmation, which can be done with an official government letter or recent utility bill with your name and address showing
• Payment method confirmation, which can be done with a picture of your card or a screenshot of your payment method

I was rather pleased with the verification process of Avabet, which took less than an hour from start to finish.

AvaBet is committed to offering players responsible gambling, and if you suffer from problematic gambling behaviour, you should cease all playing at Avabet or any other similar sites. There are many links and a self-assessment test at the bookie to help you.

Ava also offers players a lot of tools to combat problematic behavioural patterns, such as:

• Reality checks that can be set between 10min-8h
• Daily, weekly and monthly deposit limits
• Time out from games between 1 day to six weeks
• Self-exclusion from games
• Account closure
