Midnite Appoints New VP of Casino and Loyalty Products

Midnite has appointed Willie Lok as its new VP of Casino and Loyalty Products, making the move from FanDuel as the operator continues to scale towards its goal of becoming a next-generation Tier 1 global operator.

Lok was previously Head of Product at Sky Betting and Gaming before spending the last four years at FanDuel, most recently as VP for Product for Casino & Loyalty, where he played an integral role in establishing the number one casino brand in the US.

At Midnite, he will be responsible for Casino and Loyalty Products, with his experience in building and scaling casino products set to play an important role in the company’s next phase of growth.

The appointment reinforces Midnite’s ambition to disrupt the industry status quo through a differentiated product experience, with casino and loyalty central to its plans in building a leading global proposition.

Midnite Founder and CEO Nicholas Wright said:

“Over the years, the casino sector has continued to evolve and innovate. But we believe that a structural gap still remains across many regulated markets, where the product expertise has been under-innovated and too many of the principles that define a great player experience require further refinement. At Midnite, we’re on a mission to change that. 

“With Willie joining the team, we’re setting a new standard for casino and loyalty as we continue to push the boundaries of product innovation; having someone with his level of product and industry expertise join our team is a huge milestone for us as we look to scale Midnite into a next-gen tier 1 global operator. 

“We’re incredibly ambitious about where we can take our casino and loyalty products, and Willie’s appointment is an integral part of that journey. There’s a real opportunity to raise the bar here, and we want Midnite to be the company that does it.”

New VP of Casino and Loyalty Product Willie Lok said:

"I'm really pleased to be joining Midnite and taking on the opportunity to help grow its casino and loyalty products. Building casino products at scale has shown me what a great player experience takes, and Midnite's in-house platform is a rare foundation for delivering one.

"There's a clear ambition across the business, and I'm excited to work with the team as we build out the proposition and continue growing the casino business."
