The investigation centers on claims that Sportradar intentionally supported black and grey market gambling as a core business strategy. Muddy Waters Research, which published its findings on April 22, 2026, alleged that the company provided data services to nearly 50 entities operating outside legal frameworks. These include seven Russian sportsbooks and four Southeast Asian operations tied to human trafficking networks. One client reportedly avoided an industry trade show due to fears of imminent arrest, despite relying on Sportradar’s data.
