Former Checkin.com CEO and payments and identity-verification executive joins Cubeia to lead global revenue growth
Cubeia, the Sweden-based provider of turnkey crypto casino solutions, today announced that Christian Karlsson has joined the company as Chief Revenue Officer (CRO), effective August 3, 2026.
Karlsson brings more than a decade of commercial leadership across fintech, identity verification, and iGaming. He joins Cubeia from Checkin.com, the identity verification and fintech group listed on Nasdaq First North Stockholm (CHECK), where he served as Acting Chief Executive Officer from 2024 to 2025 following six years as Chief Commercial Officer. During his time at Checkin.com he also served as CEO of GetID, the group’s biometric identity verification subsidiary.
“When I met the team and got to know Cubeia, it quickly became clear that there is something special about the company. Cubeia has had several outstanding years, delivering exceptional growth while building a strong and profitable business. At the same time, I believe there is still tremendous potential ahead. The opportunity to help lead the commercial organisation through its next phase of growth is incredibly exciting. I look forward to getting to know our customers, partners, and colleagues, and to working together to build an even stronger Cubeia.” said Christian Karlsson.
Earlier in his career, Karlsson held senior commercial roles at Gaming Innovation Group, as Head of Client Operations, and at LeoVegas, leading their payments and fraud strategy as Head of Payments and Fraud.
“Christian has built and scaled commercial and platform businesses through IPOs, market expansion, and industry change — and he knows what operators need from a technology partner because he’s sat on that side of the table,” said Kim Sandström, Interim CEO of Cubeia. “As we grow Cubeia’s footprint with operators, his experience across payments, compliance, and partnerships makes him exactly the right person to lead our revenue strategy.”
As CRO, Karlsson will lead Cubeia’s global revenue strategy, working closely with the product and technical teams to support operators as they launch, scale, and stay compliant across new and existing markets.
