Sports technology giant Sportradar Group is facing new regulatory pressure in Europe after sportsbook software company Altenar Technologies filed antitrust complaints with regulators in the European Union and the United Kingdom, Reuters reported. The filings accuse Sportradar of using its dominant market position to block competitors from accessing official live sports data and derived betting odds.

Swiss-headquartered Sportradar holds exclusive data distribution and collection rights with several major sports leagues, including the NBA, MLB, ATP, and NHL. Altenar claims that bookmakers across the EU and UK require a choice of independent suppliers and that Sportradar is effectively utilizing its control over essential sports data to choke off competition. In its filing to the UK Competition and Markets Authority, Altenar requested interim measures to restore access to critical data streams pending the outcome of a full investigation.

The European Commission confirmed it has received the filing and is currently assessing the information. If EU regulators open a formal investigation and eventually find an infringement, violations of European competition rules can result in penalties of up to 10 percent of a company’s annual global turnover. Meanwhile, the CMA stated that it does not comment on specific matters outside of formal proceedings.

Sportradar dismissed the allegations, describing Altenar’s regulatory filings as a tactic to pressure the company amid ongoing commercial disputes. Company representatives noted that Sportradar remains compliant with all applicable antitrust laws across its operating jurisdictions.

The European filings follow an antitrust lawsuit brought by Altenar against Sportradar in a US court earlier this year, which similarly alleged that the sports data provider has monopolized the market for live official sports data and restricted fair competition.
