The complaint asserts securities fraud claims under Sections 10(b)\nand 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors in\nSportradar Class A ordinary shares. The case is pending in the U.S. District\nCourt for the Southern District of New York. It is captioned Smale v.\nSportradar Group AG, No. 26-cv-4112.\n\nWhy is Sportradar Being Sued for Securities Fraud?\n\nSportradar is a global sports data and technology company that collects,\nanalyzes, and distributes real‑time sports data and insights to betting\noperators, leagues, media companies, and teams. Sportradar has partnerships\nwith top leagues such as the NBA, MLB, NHL, and PGA Tour.\n\nDuring the relevant period, as alleged, Sportradar stated that it was\n\"crucial\" for it to \"conduct [its] business in a manner that upholds [its]\nhigh standards of ethics and integrity.\" Sportradar also stated that it had a\n\"four-level process\" to confirm that it \"only work[s] with licensed\noperators.\"\n\nAs alleged, in truth, Sportradar actively aided and abetted illegal gambling\nacross the world's black and grey markets, and it derived a substantial\nportion of its revenue from such activities.\n\nWhy did Sportradar's Stock Drop?\n\nOn April 22, 2026, Muddy Waters, an investigative research firm, published a\nreport titled \"Sportradar AG: Putting the BET into Aiding and Abetting. The\nLeader of Sports Integrity Powers the World's Illegal Online Sports Books.\"\nThe report revealed, among other things, that Sportradar's business model\n\"depends on illegal operators to survive.\" Muddy Waters stated that Sportradar\n\"has actively aided and abetted illegal gambling across the world's black and\ngrey markets — not as an accident or an oversight, but as a business\nstrategy.\" The report estimated that illegal operators contributed to about\n20–40% of the company's total revenues. What's more, based on its\nproprietary research methods and extensive interviews with former employees,\nMuddy Waters identified nearly 50 Sportradar clients and collaborators who\nwere operating in illegal markets.\n\nThe same day, Callisto Research, an investigative research firm, published a\nreport titled \"Sportradar Group AG: the 'integrity' giant threatening its own\nexistence with ties to illegal gambling, sanctioned parties and criminals.\"\nThe report revealed, based on an examination of hundreds of gambling\nplatforms, evidence suggesting that one-third of platforms Sportradar claims\nto serve were using Sportradar's products or services, or explicitly claiming\nto do so, while operating illegally in regulated or prohibited gambling\nmarkets. Callisto Research revealed that exposure to unlicensed operators\ncould be as high as 30-40% of Sportradar's revenue. The report also revealed\nthat three U.S. gambling regulators have already commenced reviews into the\ncompany.\n\nThis news caused the price of Sportradar stock to decline $3.80 per share, or\n22.6%, from $16.84 per share on April 21, 2026, to $13.04 per share on April\n22, 2026.\n\nClick here for more information:\nhttps://www.bfalaw.com/cases/sportradar-class-action\n(https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4700987-1&h=2618802012&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bfalaw.com%2Fcases%2Fsportradar-class-action&a=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bfalaw.com%2Fcases%2Fsportradar-class-action)\n.\n\nWhat Can You Do?\n\nIf you invested in Sportradar, you may have legal options and are encouraged\nto submit your information to the firm.\n\nAll representation is on a contingency fee basis; there is no cost to you.\nShareholders are not responsible for any court costs or expenses of\nlitigation.
