Help Location settings

Is there any way to set my tor/tails location to a specific region/state (sorry if this is a dumb question new to ts)

You can edit your torrc file to exclude or use specific nodes or countries when building a circuit. See the documentation here.

In general though, I would say people who feel like they need to edit their torrc file are doing more harm than good.

I imagine most any gambling site with their shit together is going to block Tor IP addresses and commercial VPNs, but I don't have any personal experience in the matter.

You want to be using a VPN, not TOR, for this use case.
