Midnite, a fast-growing UK sportsbook and casino, has appointed Zach Amin as Vice-President of Sportsbook.

Amin makes the move from Sky Bet, where he spent more than a decade, most recently in the role of Head of Trading.

The appointment comes as Midnite strives to capitalise on a period of strong growth, recently announcing a partnership with the 2025 World Snooker Championship and the launch of its first TV advertising campaign.

Amin joined Sky Betting & Gaming as a football trader in 2013 and worked in various trading roles across risk and football operations before leading the pre-match football team and becoming increasingly involved in commercial and product strategies. Amin was named Sky Bet Head of Trading after following the takeover by Flutter in 2020.

He said: “I’m delighted to join Midnite at what is such a pivotal movement in our growth journey. Midnite is perfectly positioned to challenge the tier-1 operators in the UK and I’m looking forward to playing a key role as we take betting into a new era.”

Midnite’s sportsbook was launched in 2018 by Nick Wright and Daniel Qu, who previously created daily fantasy sports platform Dribble in partnership with Sky Bet.

The brand is focused on disrupting the UK betting market, prioritising the player experience with a slick website and app and a brand platform designed to speak to a new generation of players.

Wright said: “We’re thrilled to welcome someone of Zach’s calibre to the Midnite team and he will play an integral role in our goal of becoming the most exciting betting app on earth.”
