Sportradar (SRAD) shares fell 22% on April 22, 2026 after short-seller reports alleged the company facilitated illegal gambling through its data-distribution services -- investors who suffered losses are encouraged to contact Levi & Korsinsky.
NEW YORK , May 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Sportradar Group AG (NASDAQ: SRAD) stock dropped nearly 23% on April 22, 2026 after reports from Muddy Waters Capital and Callisto Research alleged the company deliberately facilitated illegal gambling through its partner-relationship model.

The two independent research firms published their findings simultaneously, triggering a surge in short interest and an immediate sell-off that was amplified by a Truist Financial downgrade cutting SRAD's price target. No other material corporate news was released that day. Sportradar's 20-F annual report filed on March 27, 2026 contained only generic risk-factor language referencing "responsible gambling " and "illegal gambling schemes" -- without addressing the specific partner-relationship model at the center of the short-seller allegations. The CEO's certification in the same filing attested that the report did not "omit to state a material fact."
The company's balance sheet disclosed no legal-contingency reserves related to the alleged illegal- gambling exposure.
