Never allowed anyone to inspect their premisses, hardware/software and yet claim privacy. I understand many people here will not know any better and still a slightly better approach than using google or yandex, still a quite sus option for the casual informed user in Europe.
3/10, would not recommend nor care.

What would you recommend instead?
You can install/run from your own server, or just use a public version like this one here: https://metasearx.com/
Source code is available for verification. You can host yourself or choose from multiple domains to access.

For online gambling, why not just tax the stuff? India pulls in 30% of any player's winnings as tax, for example. The gaming companies also have to pay 28% of their revenue (yes, revenue, not income).

The laws are to enforce the ruling group's religious morals.
Perhaps, it could also be protecting the masses from exploitation of gambling companies. The odds are never in a gambler's favor.

Both. Most religions consider gambling immoral because it leads to social harm. You need to favor personal freedoms and personal responsibility more to justify taxing gambling rather than banning it. Or acknowledging that prohibition may cause more social harm than not. But only more secular governments get to allow harmful vices for the greater good.

How do you confirm the public instances are running the blessed version of the source code?
For that scenario you 1) download the code, 2) verify yourself what is inside and then 3) compile. (optional 4) Subsequent versions check on the delta of changes.
There is a cost to your time/effort in performing this type of action that is proportional to the criticality of your context and the level of trust you place on the providers.
TLDR: The less you trust, the more you verify

Id you go with the route of VPN with sear then you probably use VPN with search engines like DDG directly. And don't save cookies on the browser.
