Altenar has submitted lawsuits against Sportradar in the US and the UK over allegations of competition law breaches around sports data.
The filings were made in with District Court of New Jersey and the High Court in London.
Altenar has tapped Cahill Gordon & Reindel to represent it in the US, claiming Sportradar has breached section two of the Sherman Act.
The Sherman Act effectively prohibits monopolisation in the US and aims to stop anti-competitive conduct.
Altenar alleged that Sportradar’s exclusive data rights deals with the likes of MLB, the NBA, the ATP and the NHL, and its failure to “provide Altenar” with access to such data, is a breach of the Act.
Altenar said: “Live scouting data is essential for generating live betting odds, both of which are crucial to Altenar running a successful sportsbook.
“Altenar is therefore seeking an order to put an end to Sportradar’s refusal to supply, as well as seeking millions of dollars in damages.”
Altenar is a smaller challenger supplier in the data and sports betting sector. Its website lists partners such as Lottoland, Soft2Bet and Apuesta Gana.
The business was co-founded in 2011 by Stanislav Silin (CEO) and Dinos Stranomitis (COO) and currently has more than 800 employees on its books.
Altenar’s website also lists Sportradar subsidiary Betradar as a partner. Upon clicking the Betradar logo, the website redirects to an Altenar blogpost on data providers in Latam.
The post, published in 2023, reads: “Having direct agreements with companies like Betradar, Bet Genius and Stats Perform and IMG Arena, Altenar offers official content and data from globally recognised leagues and events like the NBA, NFL, MLB, UEFA leagues and more like horseracing and tennis.”
Sportradar faced allegations of anti-competitive conduct, alongside its rival Genius Sports, in a complaint filed in Texas by SportsCastr in March 2025.
On this current lawsuit, an Altenar spokesperson said: “Sportradar is trying to maintain its market dominance by unfairly eliminating its competitors.
“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 Sportradar 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.”
