No, Casino On Net pulled out of the US market long ago. They were one of the first to go.
Frankly, if you're in the US, I just don't see the point of trying to find a place to play. By definition, anyone who accepts your play is willing to break the law. For now, my advice to US players is to head back to the brick and mortar casinos. One day we'll be able to return to online play, hopefully sooner rather than later.

Ken, I'm surprised at you. What law do you think is being broken? Well, if you believe that whatever the Bush administration says is the law is, by definition, the law, fine. But I'm old-fashioned enough to think that an act is prohibited only if there is a statute outlawing it. The UIGEA did not add to the definition of gambling activities prohibited by federal law. It only set up a new enforcement regime, targeting financial transactions funding gambling that was already prohibited by another federal or state law. The only major gambling prohibition in federal law is the Wire Act. The courts have repeatedly found that the Wire Act means what it says, that it only restricts wagering on racing and sports. Depending on where your feet are planted, there may be a state law that applies to you, with additional gambling prohibitions. But most states do not have statutes prohibiting gambling over the Internet.
Read I. Nelson Rose's analysis if you want an opinion more detailed and better informed than mine.
The current administration has plainly taken a position that cannot reasonably find support in the statutes. It is using intimidation, rather than legitimate legal means, to try to shut down activities that certain zealots, who are political supporters, oppose.

I understand that BeTheDealer has stiffed some large affiliates recently so I would be very careful about playing there. I stopped promoting them years ago because I was suspicious about the integrity of the games.
As for the legal question, about a dozen states do have statutes prohibiting online gambling. However, the real concern is that almost all states have a generic law restricting unlicensed gambling, which could probably be applied in this situation.

the only casino I know that will still take US players is Gamblers Palace
888.com (Casino on Net) and Bet365 you can get away with using a Canadian address and a Canadian proxy server as they don't ask for any documents on cash-out, you will need to use epassporte, Click2pay, or Moneybookers - if you want to go to all the trouble
might be worth it for the signup bonuses

These generic laws ordinarily speak to activities within the borders of the state, and do not purport to prohibit setting up a gambling operation outside the state that caters to state residents. There are, as you say, statutes in a number of states that prohibit taking part in online gambling from within those states. That's another matter, and fortunately it doesn't affect residents of most states.
Answering those who have asked about playing blackjack online, understand that nearly all the online casinos shuffle after every hand, so you can't get an advantage playing with your own money. Don't do it. The way you get an advantage is to play for the bonuses. That's a complex subject, written about elsewhere. There are many online casinos you can still reach from the U.S.
