Sportradar Hit with Securities Fraud Class Action Over Alleged Illegal Gambling Revenue
summarizeSummary
A securities fraud class action lawsuit has been filed against Sportradar Group AG and certain senior executives. The lawsuit alleges that the company made misrepresentations by actively aiding and abetting illegal gambling and deriving a substantial portion of its revenue from such activities. This legal action follows investigative reports published on April 22, 2026, by Muddy Waters and Callisto Research, which claimed Sportradar's business model relies on illegal operators and caused a 22.6% stock decline on that day. The formal filing of this lawsuit presents significant legal and reputational risks for Sportradar, potentially leading to substantial financial penalties. Investors have until July 17, 2026, to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the case, which is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.
