I, Gerald E. Sklar, certify that:

1.    I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB of Winmax Trading
      Group, Inc.;

2.    Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement
      of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the
      statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements
      were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this
      report;

3.    Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
      information included in this report, fairly present in all material
      respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of
      the small business issuer as of, and for, the periods presented in this
      report;

4.    The small business issuer's other certifying officer(s) and I are
      responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and
      procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e). for
      the small business issuer and have:

      (a)   Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such
            disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our
            supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the
            small business issuer, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is
            made known to me by others within those entitles, particularly
            during the period in which this report is being prepared;

      (b)   Designed such internal control over financial reporting, or caused
            such internal control over financial reporting to be designed under
            my supervising, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
            reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
            statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
            accepted accounting principles.

(5)   Evaluated the effectiveness of the small business issuer's disclosure
      controls and procedures and presented in this report my conclusions about
      the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end
      of the period covered by this report based on such evaluation; and

      (c)   Disclosed in this report any change in the small business issuer's
            internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the
            small business issuer's most recent fiscal quarter (the small
            business issuer's fourth fiscal quarter the case of an annual
            report) that has materially affected, or is reasonable likely to
            materially affect, the small business issuer's internal control over
            financial reporting; and

5.    The small business issuer's other certifying officer(s) and I have
      disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over
      financial reporting, to the small business issuers auditors and the audit
      committee of the small business issuer's board of directors (or persons
      performing the equivalent functions):

      (a)   All significant deficiencies and material weakness in the design or
            operation of internal control over financial reporting which are
            reasonably likely to adversely affect the small business issuer's
            ability to record, process, summarize and report financial
            information; and

      (b)   Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or
            other employees who have a significant role in the small business
            issuer's internal control over financial reporting.
