Being foreign does not make a business unlawful, ever buy a foreign automobile / The location of the poker site is irrelevant under UIGE Act, especially if a site is located and licensed to conduct its business legally from say the UK or Costa Rica, Antigua or the Isle of Mann.

Your foreign car manufacturer has to obey US rules and regulations that pertain to cars and their sale here. They don't come here with a product for sale and claim their car is legal in their home country, so too bad about your safety or emission standards, hiring laws, state mandates, etc.

If there is no federal ban on poker sites, and we are assuming arguendo State B allows players to play, what is "unlawful" ?

That's my point, if a state allows players to play at regulated businesses, where is the risk of injury and unconstitutionality since UIGEA wouldn't apply? If a bank has a new law to follow, they will just deal with it like the hundreds of other laws they obey.
