↑ 0%The dark secret at the heart of the Sportradar controversy and Indian organized crime. Sportradar, the darling of the sports integrity industry, has been been hit hard by two investigation reports on their alleged links to criminal bookmakers and a superb documentary on organized crime in international cricket. What a day this has been! The journalistic equivalent of you-wait-for-hours and then-5 buses-all-come-along-at-once. There are at least five major stories that have broken today. For now, here are some points on two of those stories - more later on the other scandals. The dark secret at the heart of the Sportradar controversy. This is a MASSIVE story. The alleged collusion of the multi-billion-dollar company Sportradar with criminals in the illegal bookmaker world. The company is the darling of the investment community, the unknowing 'experts' of the sports integrity community and the provider of 'integrity service' for organizations like the ATP, NBA, WNBA, NHL, MLB, MLS, PGA TOUR, UEFA, FIFA, CONMEBOL, AFC, and the Bundesliga. Not any more it ain't... This week, two short-selling, investment research companies took a look at Sportradar's business practices. Sportradar's stock valuation fell like a stone: 28% in 48 hours which is approximately $500 million. The stock is starting to recover now (Friday, April 24) and I am reading very, very carefully the reports by these short selling companies, speaking to Sportradar insiders and outsiders - will write more about the issue next week. A few points: First, the obvious - there are lots of genuinely good people inside Sportradar. Two, the people writing the reports are short sellers. In other words, they profit from the fall in value of Sportradar's stocks that their reports have brought about - that is an acknowledged, walking/talking conflict of interest. Three, however, lots of what they write seems accurate. Sportradar has always seemed to me lots of smoke and mirrors. In my opinion by selling sports leagues the image that they could always spot corruption through monitoring of the betting data, Sportradar has made a comfy situation for lots of people who should not be in business bed together: sports leagues and bookmakers. It gets worse in that Sportsradar is itself in part owned by Major League Baseball and the National Basketball Association* - so you have a circuit of conflicts: the leagues provide the data to Sportradar which sells it to the bookmakers who sponsor the leagues. Sportradar's Carsten Koerl itself, responded to the reports with an open letter to the "global sports community": "There are numerous allegations in these reports that are either entirely false, poorly researched, deliberately taken out of context or, at best, repackaging the same tired stories we have heard for years. Then there are the specific claims regarding my supposed ties with Russian oligarchs. I believe these were thrown in to promote controversy and take advantage of the current news cycle." The secret. "[Sportradar] SRAD's CEO likes to call his company the FBI of gambling. The FBI does not offer to introduce informants to human traffickers at trade shows." Muddywaters Research Company, April 22, 2026 The essential accusation made by the short sellers, is that Sportradar served both the legal and illegal side of the sports gambling market. As the MuddyWaters researchers, after allegedly being introduced by Sportradar executives to illegal Asian bookmakers, describe it, "Putting the BET into Aiding and Abetting." This is a massive scandal but ummm... almost everybody does that in the gambling market. The line between the legal and illegal market is wafer-thin in the betting market. It is all a little like the environmental charity world: Greenpeace vs. Sea Shepherd - all the environmentalists know each other, they love and hate each other depending on the moment, they date the same people, they all eat at the same vegan restaurant and many of the executives work at one company and then switch to another. At the International Casino Exhibition(ICE) which is the big event for sports bookmakers around the world. All the sports gambling come to it both legal and illegal markets. Suicide, Public Health and legal sports gambling. Today, I am at the Northeastern University Public Health Advocacy Institute conference about the public health issues around online gambling. There are lots of impassioned speeches about the risks of the gamblification of its sports, communities, and countries. There are people who have lost their family through suicide to online sports gambling addiction. But in the discussion there are no appeals against the 'illegal market'. In the discussion about the public health effects of sports gambling there is no difference around the legal and illegal market. The Massachusetts State Senator John Keenan spoke about the similarities of the sports gambling industry between the Purdue created Opioid epidemic that caused millions of deaths in the United States. He said, "The sports gambling companies [have been] using the same playbook [as Purdue], using the same tools, refusing responsibilities in the same way, we have to hold them accountable." More analysis of the Sportradar situation to come as soon as possible. PS. One story to emerge from the conference - the State of New Jersey is moving towards banning all micro bets on US sports. * My apologies in an earlier draft of this article, I wrote that the sports league with equity stakes in Sportradar was the National Football League (NFL). This was an error - please accept my apologies for this slip-up. Indian organized crime in Canadian sport. Last week, my former colleagues at the fifth estate - Canada's equivalent of 60 Minutes/Panorama did an EXCELLENT investigation in the alleged links between the Lawrence Bishnoi organized crime group and international cricket, specifically, the Canadian Cricket Association and their World Cup team that was linked to spot fixing, bribery and corruption. I will write more about their work in another post but for now, a few points. It is good to see the fifth estate - finally - return to their glory days. All programs go through high points and low points. For years, the fifth estate was a dirge of historical victim-of-the-week stories: lots of worthy people speaking about issues that happened decades ago, instead of holding current politicians or officials to account. The fifth estate celebrated breaking this mold by focusing on South Asian organized crime in Canada. It is about bloody time! It is genuinely difficult to state the sway that Indian/Pakistani/Sri Lanka goondas have held over their Canadian immigrant counterparts. The range of high-level drug trafficking, thuggery, extortion, political assassination attempts, killings, and the worst terrorist attack in the western world until 9/11 all held sway in Canada's South Asian communities. But every time journalists or police officials would try to bring attention to these issues Declan Hill had to go through the 'systemic racism' argument that essentially made more victims and stopped any accountability to the bullies within the community. This nonsense seems to be stopping and the result is exceptional journalism like Cricket Corruption - watch here: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/cricket-canada-allegations-fifth-estate-9.7167081 Stay tuned - a lot of stories have emerged in the last 24-hours...
Sportradar accused of cooperation with illegal and Russian bookmakers. Tania Levees 23 April 2026 Swiss betting data provider Sportradar has been accused of working with illegal operators and having ties to Russian bookmakers, according to reports from Callisto Research and Muddy Waters. The reports say that up to 40% of Sportradar's revenue is generated through offshore partners. The most detailed allegations are contained in the Muddy Waters report. It says its representatives, posing as a prospective bookmaker at ICE 2026 in Barcelona, spoke with Sportradar staff and identified China, Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam - where online gambling is restricted - as target markets. According to the report, Sportradar employees did not refuse to engage. Instead, one manager allegedly demonstrated products for such markets and said the company "serves everyone". The report also alleges that Sportradar continues to work with several Russian bookmakers. According to the report, some may be linked to individuals under sanctions, posing a potential risk to the company. The report names Fonbet, Liga Stavok, BetBoom, Leon, Winline and Olimpbet. It also estimates that sales to Russian clients may account for around 11-12% of Sportradar's revenue. 1xBet and 1win are also cited as having links to Russia. In addition, the report says its authors analysed the code of offshore betting sites and identified dozens of operators using Sportradar's infrastructure while operating in prohibited or legally ambiguous jurisdictions. After the reports were published, Sportradar's shares fell about 22.6%. Sportradar rejected the allegations. In a statement, the company said the Muddy Waters and Callisto reports reflect a "fundamental misunderstanding" of its business and the industry. Sportradar added that it works exclusively with licensed operators and adheres to strict client due diligence standards.

Altenar sues Sportradar over sports data access dispute. Altenar sues Sportradar over sports data access dispute johnny K. April 3, 2026 latest casino and gambling news. Sportradar is facing legal challenges in both the United States and the United Kingdom after sportsbook technology provider Altenar accused the company of restricting access to critical sports data and undermining competition. The lawsuits, filed in federal court in New Jersey and the High Court in London, seek financial damages and regulatory intervention over what Altenar describes as anti-competitive conduct. The claims come at a time when Sportradar, a major player in the global sports data market, continues to expand its reach through acquisitions and exclusive partnerships with major sports leagues. Allegations of Market Control and Data Restrictions Altenar's legal filings focus on Sportradar's control over official league data, which the company says is essential for operating sportsbook platforms. According to the complaint in the U.S., Altenar alleges it has been effectively blocked from entering the American market due to Sportradar's actions. "Altenar has one of the premier turnkey platforms in the world," reads the complaint according to City AM. "Indeed, it competes effectively abroad, but it has been foreclosed entirely from entering the United States market by Sportradar's abuse of its monopoly power over the critical input for Altenar's product - live official league sports data." The lawsuit claims Sportradar holds exclusive rights to data from major leagues including the NBA, NHL, MLB, and ATP. Altenar argues that this dominance allows the company to control access to the information required to generate live betting odds, a key component of sportsbook operations. In its filings, Altenar also points to a breakdown in a previous agreement that had allowed it to use Sportradar's data. The company states it had paid more than $6 million annually for access but later lost the ability to operate in the U.S. after Sportradar allegedly failed to uphold the terms of a deal. "Sportradar wanted to take as much of the United States turnkey market for itself as it could. Rather than keep its promise to provide Altenar with data rights for use in the United States - as it had done through the parties' longstanding course of dealing abroad - Sportradar instead decided to choke off Altenar's access to the lifeblood of its business and attempt to capture market share for its own turnkey product," reads the complaint. Competition Concerns Across Two Jurisdictions The dispute extends beyond the United States. Altenar has also initiated proceedings in the UK, alleging violations of the Competition Act. The company claims Sportradar used its position following the acquisition of IMG Arena to influence business relationships and limit rivals' access to betting data. The filings state that Sportradar interfered with a contract renewal between Altenar and IMG at a time when the two entities were expected to operate independently. Regulators had previously reviewed the IMG Arena acquisition due to concerns about market concentration before ultimately approving the deal. An Altenar spokesperson said: "Sportradar is trying to maintain its market dominance by unfairly eliminating its competitors. It is relying on its control over key sports data to squash businesses with a competing offer, despite previously decrying other companies for doing exactly the same. "We remain open to discussions with Sportradar, but its unilateral and aggressive actions have left us with no choice but to take legal action." Altenar is seeking damages worth millions in both jurisdictions and has asked courts to impose measures that would restore competition, including requiring Sportradar to provide access to data. Broader Impact on the Sports Betting Industry The case also raises questions about the competitive implications of Sportradar's broader product offerings. Altenar has flagged concerns about ORAKO, an "all-in-one sportsbook solution for betting operators" launched in 2022, which allows clients to source multiple services directly from Sportradar. The lawsuit argues that such integrated offerings could further limit opportunities for competing providers. In addition, Altenar claims that products such as ORAKO and NSoft place it at a disadvantage, as they compete directly with its own sportsbook platform while benefiting from exclusive data access. Sportradar has rejected the allegations in full. In response to the lawsuits, a company spokesperson said: "While we prefer not to comment on pending litigation, we strongly disagree with the claims made by Altenar, which we believe are without merit and contain numerous inaccuracies. Sportradar will address these through the legal process. We encourage stakeholders to rely on our public disclosures and SEC filings for a complete and accurate view of our business." The legal battle unfolds as Sportradar continues to grow its business. The company, valued at approximately $5 billion, reported $1.5 billion in revenue and $110 million in profit last year. Its investor base includes high-profile figures such as Michael Jordan and Mark Cuban, while the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board remains its largest shareholder. The outcome of the lawsuits could have implications for how sports data is distributed and monetized, particularly as demand for real-time information continues to shape the global betting industry.
Lawsuits filed against Sportradar. April 2, 2026 by Richard Hollis Two multi-million-pound lawsuits have been filed against Sportradar for allegedly denying data access to sportsbook software company Altenar. The US lawsuit was filed in the District Court of New Jersey and accuses Sportradar of "abusing its dominance in the live data and betting odds markets." A lawsuit has also been filed in the UK. Headquarted in Switzerland, Sportradar holds a range of exclusive data and betting deals with major US organisations including Major League Baseball (MLB), the National Basketball Association (NBA), the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP), and the National Hockey League (NHL). The US legal action alleges that Sportradar has breached Section 2 of the Sherman Act by refusing to provide Altenar with access to MLB, NBA, NHL and ATP data. This has played out alongside Sportradar's launch of its own turnkey platform, ORAKO, as well as its NSoft product, which competes with Altenar's offer to the market. Betting data lawsuits. "Sportradar is trying to maintain its market dominance by unfairly eliminating its competitors," said a spokesperson for Altenar. "It is relying on its monopoly on sports data to squash businesses with a competing offer, despite previously decrying other companies for doing exactly the same. "We remain open to discussions with Sportradar, but its unilateral and aggressive actions have left us with no choice but to take legal action." A spokesperson for Sportradar told InterGame: "While we prefer not to comment on pending litigation, we strongly disagree with the claims made by Altenar, which we believe are without merit and contain numerous inaccuracies. Sportradar will address these through the legal process. "We encourage stakeholders to rely on our public disclosures and SEC filings for a complete and accurate view of our business."
