It's very hard to see ladies indulge in gambling despite gambling pays most times, only men enjoy the fun in gambling. Do ladies see gambling as something hard or stressful to them? Or they do not fancy it at all.

The gender ratio is indeed in favor of men, but not by that much. From the data I found, it was 69% of males to 31% of females (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4736715/), so it's not that hard to find women that are into gambling. Looking at data that's specific to Great Britain (https://www.statista.com/statistics/916276/participation-gambling-great-britain-gb-gender-and-frequency/) and frequency of gambling, it seems that the divide might be even smaller, but women gamble less often. So the gap is probably related to the general gender gap that's caused by expectations and upbringing, and it can vary from region to region based on how equal men and women are in that region. Also, what's interesting is that men seem to be more at risk to be problem gamblers (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4736715/), and this stays the same in different sources (https://igamingbusiness.com/tackling-the-problem-gambling-gender-divide/). It might also have to do with upbringing, but perhaps this is also related to why men gamble more.

One thing I want to ask you? where do you see the female side tends to have difficulty in gambling?
Because in my opinion there is no gender standard if indeed women are also basically already involved in gambling as a means to entertain themselves. Even in some countries, like in England we recently discovered, they dominate gambling. As @kryptqnick said, the data shows almost the same level of stability. However, this has made us pay more attention on a different side that women will have the same potential and position in gambling, depending on their level of mastery.

Men and women are identical with masculinity, not in terms of the gender of the gamblers. The characteristics of masculinity are inherent in men and gambling is also synonymous with challenging things. So broadly speaking, women are quite feminine figures (in the beginning) but this is all changing times, and of course gambling can also be entered by women in this case.

I doubt a third of gamblers are women.  It seems to me that there are much fewer of them.  According to my observations, women play in the company of acquaintances without such excitement as men and mostly to flirt and play along with men.  In my environment, there is not a single woman who I could refer to as gamblers.  Only guys.

Because you need balls to risk your money.
Women are generally more risk averse than men, and old men are more risk averse than young men. So you can connect the dot that most gamblers are young men.
Prove me wrong, lul :D

Depending on the popularity in a particular country that does dominate gambling. Indeed, women can also happen as the data above. The gambling population is not enough just based on one or two specific data taken from one sample only. Maybe if we can make some kind of statistical calculation of all the country's data that does enforce gambling for women, it can be used as a reference.

However, if one were to assume, women might be more appropriate to work in casinos as support operators, or as casino promoters.

I Think this thread should be moved to Gambling Discussion (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=228.0).

In my opinion Men are involve in Gambling than women is because of our society. In our society Men is who Maintain the family. Who are think about money. And most of the time Men are earning money (most of the cases women live in only home). So the simple things Who have money will do gambling. Who have not then can not do gambling. lol. And this is also true that Men can take more risk than women. This is also a big reason.

The reason is simple, women don’t like anything that is risk-related. Gambling is a game for men because women can hardly risk their money. Women get involved with the thing that is within their control, so gambling to them is a no-go area.

Only a few women who like gambling maybe because they don't want to risk money and are more concerned with their care, then few like gambling but yes, we can't prove it because there is no correct survey.

But lately, I have seen on TikTok and Facebook that women are now entering the gambling stream, it's true that I watch them almost LIVE every day on TikTok or Facebook, whether this is because they want to chase AdSense or what is clear I see some women have been gambling online LIVE.

Is there any evidence of what you say that gambling is only for men? You overreact if gambling for women is an excuse for a restricted area. Try to open all the rules that exist in every casino gambling, both online and offline, do you find that it is said that women are prohibited from gambling?. Because so far I haven't found that rule written in the casino FAQ.

Women can also take big risk and involved themselves in gambling. So I disagree that only men enjoy and dig themselves and become a addict as well. It's not going to be stressful or hard for the ladies, maybe the society has something to do with it. But in any case, if you try to go to a traditional base casinos, you will find women who play slots and even card games like poker and baccarat.

Is this a fact or an assumption stating  that men are the mostly to gamble but I would think that because men are given the most responsibilities especially taking care of their partners or families others have got into gambling with the hope of making money others look to it to try and relax away from work or drama  from their homes but not to sound one sided, for all I know women too are gamblers it's just that some do it from online platforms to remain anonymous and stay away from stereo typing them.

It's true that in the past gambling was an activity that was often associated with men and I think it was a natural thing, but for now, I think that gambling has nothing to do with gender anymore, and even today many women are also gambling as they do by men in today modern era, for a men, gambling is not always about money, winning or losing, but sometimes it becomes a matter of masculinity. ;D

Men are adventurous thats why you could really see them mostly on activities which you dont really think that women could easily deal with and its no surprising that men are more than in numbers
when it comes to gambling field or doing this activity which its a pretty common one but there are still some women whom do deal with this activity because this isnt something that block or just
good for one gender.It is just that women are prioritizing thing over gambling and heck they couldnt just really love to lose money.

Maybe you live in a country in which this is not very common but all the statistics and the data indicate that we have point out to the fact that the number of women that are gambling is increasing all over the world, maybe what you are seeing is because of the pandemic, after all there is also data that shows that women are more careful than men when it comes to the risks that they take when it comes to the pandemic, so maybe you are seeing a lot of more men in the casinos because women prefer to stay away from the crowds, at least for the moment.

Women are really very skeptical on spending up money thats why gambling would really be out of their taste and its true that men do really love on engaging into something which gambling is already excluded into that list.

Men are truly love to find or seeking out interesting thing and a more risk taker than women thats why they do really love gambling not only limited on this activity but also in other activities as well

which is more riskier than gambling or decisions.Also in other aspects as well on where you could commonly see man than women.

One way I see it is because men are tend to be risk-takers and are looking for ventures that will challenge them with a nifty reward at the end. Or you can also say that it is a way for a man to make money in a short time in order to provide for his needs or his wants. The goal of most gamblers are to win the jackpot and take home the money, and men are known to be daring for most of the time that they would rather risk something in order to gain something as opposed to women who are generally careful on their decisions.

I think women just as easily as men get into gambling. The dopamine reward from winning easy money isn't just limited to male brains, but I guess there could be other external factors and internal factors that play a large role. Perhaps women don't like to be held in a position where they have something to lose. Men don't really care that much about consequences, otherwise the death toll wouldn't be greater for men.

Actually, there is literature that suggests risk factor varies across gender, so does the motivation about the reason why they are into gambling. One thing i know for sure is women are more likely to jump into gamble because of boredom rather than men.  

I do seen too on social media that gambling advertisements are displaying women who are betting a game, slot, to be precise. I can assume that those kinds of ads that displaying attractive people are known and applied across many sectors. I believe the motive behind is likely to be just merely ads since based on my observation, the streamer always has some referral code on the stream or displaying the site.

you might be wrong but on the latest survey released that i read somewhere it states there that the number of women involved in gambling are increasing especially starting in the times of the pandemic because they have nothing to do and they need to earn something at the same time to contribute on thier family or to have a money to spend on themselves .
 gambling is not hard or stressful if you dont foccus on the reward but its a stress reliever and can be done easily

If you are talking about physical casino then it might be varying country to country as most tier-2 and tier-3 country's are not having full freedom for women to come out and to visit casino but for the case of online gambling, we cannot have any concrete analysis on the gender ratio as most crypto gambling services allow its gamblers to remain anonymous.

But, overall we can say men are dominating in gambling industry with respect to number of gambling services being operated and number of gamblers participating right now. Moreover, I have not heard about any women gambler for winning very big amount except lotteries.

Simple, to get out and run away from wifezilla  ;D

To be honest, we may not see it but there are still a lot of women who gambles. But then again, Mens are mostly to do it 'coz we are dumb  ;D We are fond of excitement, entertainment and any sort of things that we can avail just to have fun, to the extent that we don't even notice that we are starting to be addicted to it or if we realize it's quite too late.

Women are somehow conservative in terms of gambling, unlike men we are okay to gamble and be seen by others but women don't. They do gamble occasionally just to avoid being considered as the regular. I have women friends that gamble privately, they'll set up a meeting place and there they'll play card games, mahjong, and etc. Then I get curious and asked them why aren't visiting a local casino of some sort, and they somehow all agreed that they don't feel the Vibe inside a Casino. It's too busy, a bit noisy, drunk foreigners (haha), smelly (due to cigarette) and etc. So that's why , they tend to play privately instead. I'd somehow agreed to it.

Gambling in the way I can explain is a masculine thing. It is a masculine thing because it can lead to physical tussle, querreling and fighting, at least for off line which is how starting if we can trace it. Gambling started offline and men usually gather to bet within themselves either for playing dice game. Men are known for physical activities and that includes providing for the home, they go out to do all sort to ensure the home feeds. This is a simple reason because men are usually bread winners associated with money but lately that kind of definitions are beginning to change.

there is nothing wrong with that because it is true because most people who gamble, especially young people they prefer gambling in sports and of course the most favorite is football :)

I don't have the slightest objection about this even though there are indeed many people who still gamble using classic methods such as poker or dice games, but still for now betting on balls is increasingly widespread, especially in Europe's top leagues.

and women were supposed to tend their kids and do the chores at home. so they don't have time to attend in this kind of activity. however, as you've said, times are changing. there are a lot of women now that are also breadwinners. but still most of them prefer not to spend their hard-earned money to luck-based games. they prefer to spend it on their kids or necessary things at home. but some younger gen are into gambling because of these live streaming activities that they can earn from it. don't know if this will hold true in the coming years as more women are joining in online gambling.

Men and women are both into gambling but from what I see, I can tell you that men are more into it. It is mostly because women can other options when it comes to making money ;) buy men don't have that luxury. Men either should work hard, or cheat. Gambling is kind of cheating because games like dice takes no skills. If you have $100k, you can make it $200k in 1 second. (or lose it)

Maybe women are smarter then men, and seeing right through this scam. Men on the other hand are pretty retarded and falling for the same scam over and over again. :) That's a good possibility too.

look at men and women:

Women: women prefer to spend money on their beauty, for them to look beautiful with the best clothes and jewelry

Men: Most men do not invest a lot of money in beauty, they prefer to invest more in cars, investments and gambling. men like soccer and make bets, men like fights and make bets... it's true that some women are in the world of sport and gambling too, but it's a very small number and it will always be a very small number

There is a good reason to explain that. Women have aversion to risks, they don't feel good under high pressure, so it's normal they avoid gambling, going into more relaxing activities to spend their money, as it will be more rewarding (not in a financial aspect, of course, but in a pleasant way, I mean) for them.

Also, some online articles state there is a key difference between men and women in gambling: men tend to see it as income (they are greedier), while for women gambling is simply a hobby to pass time and escape daily worries for a while.
