Veriff Appoints Hubert Behaghel as VP of Engineering
Veriff, a global identity verification provider, has appointed Hubert Behaghel as its Vice President of Engineering.
As the latest addition to Veriff’s leadership team, Behaghel will spearhead the company’s engineering strategy to elevate its competitive expertise through industrialisation and scalability, and will also streamline the engineering team’s efforts. Hubert Behaghel is based in Veriff’s Barcelona office in Spain.
Prior to joining Veriff, Behaghel was Typeform’s first-ever VP of Engineering, where he oversaw a streamlined expansion of the company’s engineering team, grew its global presence and introduced a range of new functions while reducing expenses. Under his leadership, Typeform’s infrastructure became GDPR-compliant, multi-regional, and he opened the company’s Latin American engineering hub.
“The identity crisis online has reached a breaking point. That’s where Veriff comes in. I have been convinced since early on that I would be able to learn from Veriff’s team while also bringing my own expertise. It’s important to me as I want to help the Veriff Engineering community find its voice, both internally and externally,” said Behaghel.
Behaghel brings to Veriff nearly two decades of experience with industry titans such as Amazon, Marks and Spencer and Sky, where he led significant expansion in their respective engineering divisions while introducing new initiatives and refining existing ones. At Sky, as the company’s Head of Technology, Behaghel more than tripled the engineering team’s size, scaled the Discovery platform by tens of millions of global users and helped launch NBCU’s Peacock streaming service. Hubert Behaghel holds a Master of Science degree from IMT Atlantique in France.
“As the global need for identity verification increases day by day, Hubert’s proven skill set with scaling engineering capabilities will be invaluable to Veriff’s continued growth. We’re very excited to welcome him aboard, and to witness his impact on product delivery,” Janer Gorohhov, CPO and co-founder of Veriff, said.

Bingo Paradise, a prominent UK iGaming affiliate, has announced its most successful quarter ever, achieving record growth during Q3 2024.

“Q3 2024 has been a standout quarter for Bingo Paradise,” said Tom Waite, Manager of Bingo Paradise. “Our success is thanks to the hard work of our small team of talented writers and the oversight of our dedicated compliance manager. Together, they ensure that we provide honest, transparent reviews and operate within the highest industry standards. This, combined with our marketing efforts, including SEO and negotiating exciting player offers with operators, has been key to sending substantially more FTD’s to the operators.”
Bingo Paradise achieved a 65.24% year-over-year increase in FTDs compared to Q3 2023. This impressive growth underscores the affiliate’s focus on player-first strategies, such as creating honest, well-researched reviews that empower users to make informed decisions. The team’s compliance manager ensures every piece of content adheres to strict regulations, building trust with both players and operators.
A key factor in the platform’s success is its ability to negotiate exclusive offers with UKGC-licensed operators. These partnerships allow Bingo Paradise to provide unique deals that resonate strongly with players, enhancing its appeal as a go-to player resource. The focus on promoting only licensed operators also ensures fairness and security for users, which further solidifies the portals reputation.
The brands approach is a model of integrity and innovation.

Eagerly anticipated release now confirmed following a highly successful exclusivity period with Rush Street Interactive
Play’n GO has today announced the official US release of its hit title Colt Lightning Firestorm, following a three-week period of exclusivity with Rush Street Interactive brands BetRivers and SugarHouse.
Colt Lightning Firestorm was released in Europe and other jurisdictions in May 2024, and its release in the US comes with much fanfare following the game’s rave reviews in its short exclusivity period. The game is a sequel to the wildly popular Colt Lightning game which was released early last year, and indications at this stage suggest that this sequel may prove even more successful.
This announcement sees Colt Lightning Firestorm available to players in each state and operator with whom Play’n GO is licensed. Play’n GO first entered the online casino market in the US in 2022, and has reiterated its commitment to becoming active in every regulated market around the world.
Magnus Olsson, Chief Commercial Officer at Play’n GO said: “We’re excited to unveil Colt Lightning Firestorm to the wider online casino gaming community in the US, and have been very pleased to see its strong performance during its exclusivity period with Rush Street Interactive. We had high hopes for the game following the success of its predecessor, and we’re confident that these robust results will continue now that the game is available to an even bigger audience.”
