What is the Sportradar Group AG (SRAD) Securities Class Action About?
The class action lawsuit alleges that Sportradar misrepresented and concealed that the company deliberately partnered with black-market unlicensed gambling operators to inflate its revenues, despite publicly touting strict legal and regulatory compliance and claiming that ethics and integrity were foundational to the company’s operations.
Investors’ confidence in Sportradar’s business practices, including its purported KYC and Code of Conduct, was shattered on April 22, 2026, when two prominent short seller firms published detailed investigative reports that directly contradicted Sportradar’s prior statements about compliance and corporate governance.
Muddy Waters Research conducted an undercover investigation, analyzed Sportradar’s website code, and interviewed 15 current and former company employees to reach its conclusion that “SRAD has actively aided and abetted illegal gambling across the world’s black and grey markets – not as an accident or an oversight, but as a business strategy.” The firm “estimate[d] that illegal operators today deliver approximately 20-40% of total revenues[]” to Sportradar. Muddy Waters said it “identified nearly 50 companies as current or recent SRAD clients and collaborators who are operating in illegal markets.”
For its part, Callisto examined hundreds of gambling platforms and reported that it found evidence that “over 270 individual platforms (more than a third of the 800 Sportradar claims to serve) are using Sportradar’s products or services, or explicitly claiming to do so, while operating illegally in regulated or prohibited gambling markets.” Callisto also said “[m]any of these operators have no license whatsoever[]” and “a senior former employee we spoke to estimated the exposure to unlicensed operators could be as high as 30-40% of Sportradar’s revenue.”
The market swiftly reacted, wiping out over $800 million of Sportradar’s market capitalization in a single day.
“Hagens Berman is investigating the lawsuit’s claims that Sportradar concealed an illegal business strategy from investors and may have booked revenues derived from unlawful gambling operations,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the firm’s Sportradar securities fraud investigation.
