Midnite Taps Ex-FanDuel Director for Canada Launch

Sportsbook and casino disruptor Midnite has onboarded an experienced ex-FanDuel Canada director. The one up to the task is Dale Tang, who joins as general manager for Canada, as the former company’s own launch into the North American country looms. Tang commented on the matter and said that he was excited about this new opportunity. Tang Joins the Midnite Family Tang announced that he is joining Midnite on LinkedIn, saying that he is excited about the opportunity to continue his involvement in the Canadian gaming sector.
