Tang was responsible for commercial, analytics, and retention for FanDuel Canada’s sportsbook and casino business
Midnite, the hyper-growth UK sportsbook and casino operator, has named Dale Tang as its new General Manager, Canada, strengthening the operator’s North American expertise as it continues to pursue its ambition of becoming a tier-1 operator in global markets.
Prior to joining Midnite, Tang was responsible for commercial, analytics, and retention for FanDuel Canada’s sportsbook and casino business. Most recently, he led FanDuel’s entry into Alberta and was the commercial lead responsible for taking the Ontario business to a market-leading position.
In his new role, Tang will lead Midnite’s Canadian market strategy, overseeing the operator’s plans to launch the brand in regulated Canadian markets, pending licensing approvals. His appointment represents an important step in Midnite’s international expansion as the company looks to build on its momentum in the UK and Ireland.
Midnite Founder and CEO Nick Wright said: “Dale’s appointment marks an exciting milestone in Midnite’s journey to disrupt the industry. The regulated Canadian market is a huge opportunity for us to expand beyond the UK and Ireland, and bringing Dale on board is a clear signal of our ambition to build a truly localised, next-generation sports betting and casino experience that puts player protection at the front and centre.
“As we look to build Midnite into a next-generation tier-1 global operator, Dale’s experience, local insight and leadership puts us in a strong position for future growth.”
Dale Tang added: “After five fantastic years helping to build FanDuel’s presence in Canada, I’m very excited to be starting a new chapter as General Manager for Canada at Midnite. The opportunity to build something new in a market I know and care deeply about was simply too exciting to pass up.
“Midnite has established itself as a brand with a clear vision on how to deliver an exciting proposition for players. I’m looking forward to being a part of the team that helps establish Midnite as a responsible and trusted brand that resonates with Canadian consumers.”
Founded in 2015 by Nick Wright and Daniel Qu, Midnite has grown rapidly in recent years, expanding its product mix and team while establishing itself as one of the UK’s most exciting challenger brands.
With significant new investment and an expanding leadership team, the company is focused on closing the gap with the market’s largest operators through product excellence, innovation and a commitment to safer gambling across its platform.
