Sportradar faces securities fraud class action after 22% decline
Sportradar Group AG faces a securities fraud class action after its stock fell 22% on allegations it worked with black-market gambling operators to boost revenue.
"Sportradar intentionally worked with black-market gambling operators to increase its revenues, despite its assurances of strict legal and regulatory compliance," the complaint alleges.
The lawsuit, filed in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York, covers investors who purchased Sportradar Class A ordinary shares between Nov. 7, 2024, and April 21, 2026. The company's know-your-customer and compliance processes were not as robust as executives had claimed, according to the complaint. The case is Smale v. Sportradar Group AG, Case No. 26-cv-4112.
The July 17 lead plaintiff deadline gives shareholders roughly four weeks to seek appointment. A successful case could result in significant financial liability for the sports data provider, which counts major US and European sports leagues among its clients. The allegations also raise the risk of increased regulatory scrutiny from the US Securities and Exchange Commission and potential reputational damage that could affect client relationships in the sports betting and data sectors.
