Fast-growing UK sportsbook and casino operator Midnite has announced the appointment of Alex Henderson as Vice President of Compliance, further strengthening its leadership team as the company continues to scale.
Henderson brings with him extensive experience in compliance, regulatory affairs, and operational risk within the gambling sector. His career includes working with leading operators, law enforcement agencies, and advisory firms, equipping him with a well-rounded perspective on both commercial and regulatory challenges.
His appointment follows a series of key leadership hires at Midnite, including Zach Amin as Vice-President of Sportsbook and Andrew Mook as Head of Brand Marketing — both of whom joined from Flutter.
In his new role, Henderson will oversee regulatory compliance efforts, improve internal processes, and support the company’s ongoing focus on safer gambling and operational integrity under its UK licence.
Commenting on his new role, Henderson said:
“I’m genuinely excited to be joining Midnite at such an exciting time in our growth story. Everyone I’ve met so far has been welcoming and clearly driven by a real passion for what they’re building. There’s a strong sense of ambition matched by a real commitment to doing things right.”
Midnite was founded in 2018 by Nick Wright and Daniel Qu, the creators of the daily fantasy sports platform Dribble, developed in partnership with Sky Bet. In April, the company secured a £7.7 million investment to support its ambitious growth plans. Since then, Midnite has established high-profile sponsorships with the World Snooker Championship, Southampton Football Club, and Sheffield United Football Club.
With a focus on disrupting the UK betting market, Midnite is prioritising player experience through its sleek digital platforms and a brand identity that resonates with a new generation of bettors.
Speaking on the appointment, Co-Founder Nick Wright said:
“We’re building Midnite to be the most exciting betting brand in the UK but also the most trusted and that means taking compliance seriously. Alex brings heavyweight experience and the mindset we value – sharp, pragmatic and unafraid to raise the bar. His appointment is in keeping the standards we expect and the culture we’re creating.”
