Midnite appoints Alex Henderson as Vice President of Compliance to drive the commitment to "doing the right thing".
The rapidly developing UK sports betting and casino company Midnite appoints Alex Henderson as Vice President of Compliance, further strengthening its team. After joining Midnite, Henderson brings extensive experience in compliance, regulatory affairs, and operational risk in the gambling industry.
He has worked with well-known operators, law enforcement agencies, and consulting firms, and has a deep understanding of business and compliance challenges. Following the appointments of Zach Amin as Vice President of Sports Betting and Andrew Mook as Head of Brand Marketing (both from Flutter), Henderson's addition is the latest significant member of Midnite.
Henderson's responsibilities include overseeing regulatory compliance, strengthening internal processes, and supporting Midnite's continued focus on safer gambling and operational integrity under its UK license.
He stated, "I am genuinely excited to join Midnite at such an exhilarating moment in its development. Everyone I have met so far has been warm and hospitable, and it is clear that they are passionate about the business they are building. They have both strong ambitions and a sincere commitment to doing things right."
Midnite's sports betting platform was launched in 2018 by Nick Wright and Daniel Qu, who had previously collaborated with Sky Bet to create the daily fantasy sports platform Dribble. In April this year, Midnite announced an investment of approximately £7.7 million to support its growth ambitions. Subsequently, the company established high-profile sponsorship partnerships with the World Snooker Championship, Southampton Football Club, and Sheffield United Football Club.
The brand is committed to disrupting the UK betting market by prioritizing player experience through a seamless website and applications, and a brand platform designed to attract a new generation of players.
Wright stated, "We are building Midnite to be the most exciting and trustworthy betting brand in the UK, which means we must take compliance seriously. Alex brings a wealth of experience and the mindset we value—sharp, pragmatic, and bold. His appointment is to maintain the standards and culture we are building."
