Three Rwandans Patrick Makuza, Fiona Mukundente, and Innocent Nahasoni will remember that betting with Gorilla Games is not just about winning cash but also giving its clients a memorable experience and any football fan would dream to live. It is credit to the betting company that the trio successfully enjoyed a trip to London during which they watched Arsenal beating Manchester United 3-1 live at Emirates on April 23 Stadium, after they after they were selected in the just-concluded raffle draw by Gorilla Games. Goals from Nuno Tavares, Bukayo Saka and Granit Xhaka secured a much-needed victory for Arsenal who are still pushing for a top four finish and increase chance of playing UEFA Champions League football next season. Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo’s consolation goal was not enough for the Red Devils to get a result in London. In December last year, the online-based betting company launched a promotion dubbed ‘Yes U Can’ after which three lucky football lovers who participated in betting with at least Rwf1,000 or above would stand a chance to win a trip to London to watch the Premier League pair going head to head live from the Emirates in a match that could possibly have ended Manchester United’s dream to make it in the top four. Fiona Mukundente was at the time on a neutral side since she supports neither of the rivals, something she said helped her enjoy the game than anyone with whom they travelled as she felt not worried to see any of the teams losing. Mukundente described watching the game between the rivals live at Emirates Stadium as ‘historical’ and a ‘lifetime’ experience she never had imagined to live. “I felt like I made history when I found myself at the stadium watching such a big fixture,” she told The New Times. Mukundete is a regular client at Gorilla Games and only her consistency in betting gave her a chance to watch a Premier League game live, a chance which, she said, came by accident. “I just saw it coming. I didn’t even know that the promotion was on. But, luckily, I won the ticket,” she said. Mukundente was the lone female among three lucky winners who travelled to London, alongside local female Sports journalist Ruth Rigoga, one of the brand ambassadors of Gorilla Games. It was a promo that many, including the winners, thought it wasn’t true and thought perhaps Gorilla Games was doing it to encourage more people to bet. But winning the ticket made Mukudente realize how much the betting company cares for its clients. “This company does all it can to care about its clients. Travelling to London made me believe in what they say,” she said.
