Sportradar Faces New Securities Fraud Class Action Over Alleged Illegal Gambling Ties, 22% Stock Drop
Summary
A new securities fraud class action lawsuit has been filed against Sportradar Group AG and its executives by Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP. This follows previous announcements of similar lawsuits on May 19 and May 21. The lawsuit alleges the company aided illegal gambling and derived 20-40% of its revenue from such activities, which triggered a 22.6% stock drop on April 22, 2026, after investigative reports from Muddy Waters and Callisto Research. Sportradar had previously addressed "sensationalized reports" on April 28. These allegations are substantial, implying significant revenue exposure to illegal activities and triggering reviews by U.S. gambling regulators. This poses a material legal, financial, and reputational risk to the company. The lead plaintiff deadline is July 17, 2026.
