Yes and no. AvaTrade is a real, multi-regulated broker at avatrade.com — AVA Global Trade Center is not it, and has no connection to it. The name exists to catch people searching for AvaTrade. If you landed here via that search, check the domain before anything else.

Now the bad news — the clones:
If the site you used is not the official domain — avatrade.com — it was not AVA Global Trade Center. It was someone wearing its name.
Both feel identical from the inside. They are fixed by completely different routes — and the fastest way to tell them apart is to ask three questions.
If it is the real platform: your dispute runs through its formal complaints process, then the regulator or ombudsman. Slow, but it usually works. Verify every AvaTrade-branded domain against avatrade.com before typing credentials or sending money. If a “regional” or “global” AvaTrade site approached you first — by ad, message or “account manager” — treat it as hostile until proven otherwise on the official domain.
If it was an impersonator: you were never a customer of AVA Global Trade Center at all. A clone site, a fake “account manager”, a lookalike domain — the money went to criminals, not to the platform. That is fraud, and speed decides what can be recovered.
The three questions: did you type the official domain yourself, or follow a link, advert or message? Did anyone contact you first? Were you asked to pay a personal account or a different domain? If any answer is wrong, treat it as impersonation — and start here.
The real AvaTrade, no — it is a long-established, multi-regulated broker at avatrade.com. AVA Global Trade Center, yes: it is a lookalike name with no AvaTrade affiliation, no retrievable company detail and a bot wall where its disclosures should be. If you deposited there, you dealt with an impersonator.
Type the official domain yourself — avatrade.com — never follow a link from an ad, email or message. Then check the regulator's public register, which lists the firm's genuine website. If your domain differs by even one character, it was a fake.
The domain you used, the date, and whether you paid by card, bank transfer, or crypto. Or the name of the person who told you to pay. Or one screenshot. Where the same payment shows up from other people, those files can sit together as a class action. The first look is free.
The case assessment is free and confidential. If we take your case, we explain the costs before you commit to anything. You will never pay to hear an honest answer.
