At the core of Winamax’s business and philosophy: playing

Playing is a key-value for a company dedicated to poker, that’s why all games are important in the office. In addition to a cafeteria and sports room, Winamax’s offices have a dedicated area where employees can cool off, counting a great number of board games. On a regular basis, the team gathers for partying: the annual concert night, summer barbecue or a Yearly Poker Tournament.

Winamax’s HR puts its standards very high in terms of shared ambition and work conditions. Building a sense of community is a strong asset in the company, making their employees faithful to the team. Therefore, part-time or remote work is not encouraged in the company.

This feeling of community translates for instance in the choice of posters hanging on the walls: photographs by Grégoire Camuzet especially created for Winamax. The photographer took Winamax Pro Team as models for his remake of famous movie posters: Gaëlle Baumann is Black Mamba from Kill Bill, Davidi Kitai is Raoul Duke, from Las Vegas Parano.
