decision in Kalshi’s favor regarding the Core Principles would mean Kalshi’s users must have unfettered access to the sports bets it offers across the United States, including on all tribes’ Indian lands. As such, the Tribal Amici have a unique interest in the subject matter of this suit because it directly impacts tribal sovereignty over gaming that occurs on Indian lands, which is an important interest and adds a valuable perspective for the Court not advanced by either party. CONCLUSION For the foregoing reasons, the Tribal Amici respectfully request that this Court grant their Motion for Leave to File the accompanying proposed amicus brief in support of the Defendants. Dated: January 23, 2026 Respectfully submitted, /s/ Stephen J. Zralek
