Somebody help me with my IP address, please

IP address geolocation is routinely wrong. Variously by hundreds of kilometers, and more.

IP address geolocation is best assumed to be accurate at the country level, and location data not any more granular within the country.

This inaccuracy because maintaining better accuracy is both more expensive to for internet service providers to maintain, and that improved accuracy also increases the risks to the providers’ subscribers.

And yes, mechanisms including ISP NAT, Private Relay, VPNs, and other such can also mask geolocation.

Gambling sites are too often sketchy or scams, too. The scam will find “reasons” to block payouts. Even among those gambling sites that are regulated, the house always wins

Yes. People generally don't set their own public IP addresses.
