The operator’s visit to the memorial underscores Winner Rwanda’s commitment to upholding the ‘Never Again’ vow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Rwanda.- Gaming and betting company Winner Rwanda<\/strong> has visited the Kigali Genocide Memorial<\/strong> to honour the victims of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The visit, which was held on May 9, 2025<\/strong>, marked the 31st anniversary<\/strong> of the tragedy. On the day, the team visited various parts of the Kigali Genocide Memorial, learning about its history through briefings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the tour, Winner Rwanda’s management and staff paid their respects by laying wreaths for the victims. The company also provided a donation to aid the memorial’s ongoing work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In its statement, Winner Rwanda described the memorial as “a place of dignity that preserves the truth of history and educates future generations on how to prevent such a tragedy from ever happening again”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The visit to the memorial underscores Winner Rwanda’s commitment to upholding the ‘Never Again’ vow by actively working against genocide ideology and promoting peace and unity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The operator officially launched in Rwanda in October 2023<\/strong>, and has quickly become one of the leading platforms in the jurisdiction. The company prides itself on being an online-only platform, differentiating itself from traditional gaming companies that rely on physical locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last November<\/strong>, Winner Rwanda was named the betting company of the year at the 2024 Karisimbi Service Excellence Awards<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n
