I think for many women some of the few reasons they go into gambling, is that gambling provides them with the opportunity to be sociable and enjoy time with friends and also use it to escape boredom loneliness or even stress, excitement is also part of the reasons why women goes into gambling the sense of winning creates an additional anticipation of something bigger having the spotlight on you as a winner can make you feel good even for a brief moment. This has eventually turn into frequent trips or long session in gambling.

What drives most people, both men and women into gambling is because they want to earn money. Earning money is the primary reason and other reasons can be considered as secondary.

It is when they later know that gambling can not give them the expected earning,  they may decide to stay or quit gambling. The secondary reason is the reason they decided to stay if not addicted.

I think that the reason why most women go gambling is that they feel bored of being at home all the time and want to find additional income for themselves, so they look for other entertainment to relieve their boredom. Moreover, nowadays gambling platforms are increasingly easy to access, with just a few dollars now they can make deposits and play various games directly from their devices.

At the moment I don’t have any female friends that’s into gambling or probably they might be involved but don’t want the public to know about it… and surprisingly I have never thought about female gambling as anything that should be considered different from the normal way we all gamble.

I believe that entertainment and to earn cash should be the main reason why anyone would ever want to engage in gambling activities, although there are few that still goes online to gamble so that they can escape the reality of life for the few minutes or hours that they’ll spend in their account.

The exact same reasons drives women and men into gambling. These is the need to earn money, interest and passion for sports which reflects in desire to predict outcomes and curiosity.
There is no point making a distinction between genders when it comes to gambling interest.

There are many underlying reasons why people first decide to go into gambling. Then as time goes on that curiosity or the boredom and loneliness they wished to kill by gambling soon turn into an ever consuming desire to win money and this becomes the driving Force for them. It is not gender-specific but relates to all genders. But when it comes to addiction I feel that there are more women who are closet gamblers that are struggling with gambling addiction but don't know how to seek for help because of people will say. This is where more work needs to be done to help more women speak up so their addiction can be easily addressed.

Sorry but I honestly see no need for this thread, since all you mentioned is also what lead or drive so many men into gambling as well.

So I believe the right answer to the question is that, same thing that drives men into gambling is same thing that drives women into gambling as well .

Although I must emphasize on the fact that we are of different characteristics and so is our needs, generally as human beings, not referring to men or women in particular now..

Reason I decides to go into gambling might not be the same reason why the other person decides to go into gambling, this is how it is with men, and this is how it is with women too.

It's nothing but wanting instant winnings that they try gambling but most of these bets are on men that I've met but for women it's very rare. For other countries then it's different again.

It may also be that they initially want to be a fun entertainment at gambling when there is boredom at home, but that makes them unable to be sure of winning because here the loss will be greater than winning, I never encourage women to gamble and even prohibit it, but it is for my own family, but this cannot be different in countries where gambling is legal.

Loneliness must be one. I have lived with my aunt for more than a year and their neighbors told me, she wasn't a gambler at all until her husband sailed to the sea for years. The husband occasionally calls her but that's just it. After hearing so many tales about what sailors do when they dock at a port, they do stuff like take a girl to their cabin.

I think that really got into her and so she tried entertaining herself in some resorts and found friends who are gamblers. Yep, she is well-known in nearby casinos.

Money I guess for the most part but I'd say if she's with peers that do the same thing, she'd likely like to be belong in it. Obviously, you just answered your own question. Well, they are that talkative when they're with peers so probably just want something to tell what's happening in their lives while gambling but here in my area, women treat it as men do.

I have seen ladies that do betting fun and ambition and that is drive by their love for sports, they love to drag opponents when it comes to debate and the most fun of it is when they show off their bets anytime they win. To be honest, I think women are more dedicated and mind controlled when it comes to gambling, they know how to play(the few I have seen on tittok and podcasts) and when they lose, you wouldn't hear pim from them or get angry, that is how gambling is meant to be and when they play casino games, they don't bother about the outcome because girls are feminine and feminine love games.

I'm not sure but I think I haven't seen women that is gambling addicted, mostly it's the men that always turn out to be gambling addicted or maybe that is because of nature of men to look for money anywhere there is but I think women loves money more, they should be the ones that is addicted but always turned out to be the opposite of what the guys do in gambling.

What you described applies exactly the same to men. But you forgot to add “the desire to get rich by pressing one magic slot machine button.”

"What is the drive that makes women go into gambling?" - probably the same as men, no? Why is this division of gamblers into men and women even necessary?

For the casino, everyone is equal. For the casino, it doesn’t matter who the money is drawn from, whether it’s a man or a woman.

There are many reasons for someone who decides to get involved in gambling whether men or women they certainly have their own goals and reasons and of course there are a variety of differences.
Some people may enter gambling especially women because they want to find satisfaction by gambling or even with the aim of gambling as the main means of venting their emotions or venting their mistakes regarding several things that have happened.

If we do research by directly asking female gamblers for their reasons for gambling almost all of the answers will be to have fun and seek entertainment but apart from these reasons there are actually other things that they may be reluctant to mention.

This seems like a sexist post to be honest. I don’t think that women have separate driving forces than men when it comes to gambling. In fact, I know more women than men that frequent casinos. I think it has less to do with gender and more to do with when they have available free time and what they enjoy.

Your illustration might be relative. The main reason why the poor gamble is not for fun but for money.  So I can conclude that most financially stable women who gamble do that for fun and not necessarily for money. But I can certainly say that most women in poor nations gamble because they are seeking alternative means of income. A poor woman is seeking for means to feed and wouldn't consider spending money in casinos just for fun. The majority of the women I know who gambled learned it either from male partners or male relatives. And they are motivated to stake when they see people winning games.

I don't think it's any different for women than it is men.  I can tell you though as a financial advisor that more men gamble than women because men tend to be more reckless with their finances that women overall (20 years of experience backing that claim up).  Women like winning money just the same as men do.  Also they enjoy the same benefits of it being a fun social event. My x-gf loved going to the casino.  It was a fun thing for us to do, get dressed up and go hit the casinos, just something different than your average evening.

Most of my woman friend that playing gambling usually have a anti social attitude. They only play gambling to release stress but they didn’t mean to socialize since they don’t know people in the casino that’s why they play. They are using it to escape in reality and have quick profit aside form their job.

A woman with an active social life will never go to casino as well as those willing to socialize with stragers since they can use malls, salons and other typical girls hangout spot if they want to socialize.

In my opinion, poverty or wealth can drive women to engage in gambling. Additionally, depression could be one of the reasons that leads women to participate in gambling.

Sometimes, it might be when someone's life becomes very boring, in such cases like that going to a casino to socialize, make friends and have some fun can be appealing. I know some women who are into gambling purely for just entertainment purposes.

Same drive that keep men in gambling which is the rewards of winning, in gambling the ultimate goal for both women and men is the money and fun, so sometimes when you are not gambling for the money or you gamble for the fun, alot of us have spent time to keep ourselves entertained and free up our heads.


Women also love fun and money all together and at that they will gamble at any given instance and opportunities.


I will like to ask you dude something.


What is the difference between man and woman i gambling and other risk-taking activities?

Women are not really involved in our country in those activities which are consider as gambling because they are dependent on man for money. The main focus of people on gambling is for money as without money life become very difficult.

Women never use their money in useless activities and its the reality because they are very conscious about the use of their money.

Male are more engaged in gambling as compared to female because they have responsibilities and they don't known how to manage these responsibilities so they choose wrong mechanisms of making money as jobs are not enough to give opportunity to each individual of a country.

Honestly, I think most women are driven into gambling for the same reasons men get into it: because of thrill, entertainment and the possibility of winning important amounts of money.

In that sense, men and women are not that different from each other, after all we are al human beings and we can feel the same when comes to greed and excitement.

Though, I would also add that women are less likely to gamble than men, because some additional social stigma added to them and the fact in many cultures women have different social expectations than men have over themselves.

peer pressure isn't one?

in my country, there are lots of women mostly playing bingo or cards every day in their favorite corner. they are up to gossip around the neighborhood but it would be pointless to go home without making money. It is an opportunity to make money who would pass that?

Yeah, because women loves to talk and socialize. Some of them prefer on site gambling rather than online because of that and by nature they are always having a doubt in every thing so they more prefer to see all of it rather than getting anxious because of they are kinda afraid that they may be scam. But I dunno here in my place there are more women playing, but it is like majong.

Freely speaking,  the kind of friends they hang out with or listen to often or gossip with, be it a male or of same gender. If the friends can gamble, or talk about it often, it could lead them to try it out and perhaps stick with.

Also, economic situation in ones current environment could be a leasing cause, because instead of going into prostitution, gambling may appear as a lesser evil.

They could simply also just love gambling and stick with it as a secret hobby, since it can be rather unsuspecting of a woman to gamble as compared to a man in many society today.

Gender equality...hehehe. The idea that what a man can do, a woman can do better may be more than responsible as a drive that contributes to make women go into gambling..

From what I observe, old ladies like going to casinos because they feel lonely and bored at home. They can't practice intense activities anymore and don't have disposal to travel long distances, like the younger ones do on holidays and vacations. So they prefer going to the casino, as it's something they can do while seated at a chair. It's entertainment and relaxing, with some chance of growing their funds into something else, then they can give some money to sons, grandchildren or save for themselves. Anyway, each person will have their own reason to gamble, and we can't really generalize.

What I mentioned is just something I observed in people around me in the past...

I think the same reason why men do gamble, that's the same reason which make some women do gamble also, some women do have passion for sport, and they do gamble just because they want to have fun, and we know women also love money, they notice that people are making money from gambling, so they decide to gamble just to make money. I can say everyone is having the reason why they decide to gamble, everyone one can't have the same mind set. But women don't really gamble the same way men do gamble, you will find it difficult to see women gambling, compare to the way men do gamble.

Women gamble for fun, to kill boredom and for profit. It all depends on the lady own reason in one of these three reason as stated above. The same reason that makes a man to gamble is the same reason why women gamble. I know of a female gambler, she sees gambling as a means of making profit and she got stuck into addiction to the extend that she sold some of her jewelries to gamble. And I also know of a lady that only gamble when the is bored to have fun. You see, these are the same reasons why men gamble too. It is just like you are asking, why do women drink or why do dey smoke or do drugs.

Women do have different motives for going into the world of gambling, I believe. I mean if you were to look at the entire matter from the perspective of a biological standpoint, then men have developed to become more risky as when they were hunters back ages ago. Women stayed in a shelter, waiting for their risky mates to return with food. But that is not all women did. They developed raised and protected babies, made social bonds and shared information between each other, which was vital to the survival of the human species. We are a herd-like species after all. We cannot stand to be alone and together we become stronger and more likely to survive.

So going by that, obvious the more risky counterpart (men) will be more prone to risky things with tempting rewards, like gambling. Women are more risk adverse and would rather enjoy the gambling community than the act of betting itself.

As much as gambling addiction are destroying men, it is doing the same to women and it is putting their homes and entire family at risk. If you ask a woman who is addicted to gambling what triggered it, you may get responses like, they started gambling as a way to cope with certain lifestyle changes, the loss of a child or spouse, loneliness and divorce. And it is the same gambling psychology of adrenaline , that is in play when a man is addicted that is also working when a woman is addicted to gambling too.

Some women are into gambling because they want to earn money quickly and not to depend on their husbands, and that is why they tried going into gambling to see if they can make money from it. I don't think a married woman joined gambling because she's bored at home. Why? Because, as a married woman, you have children, I strongly believe that while your children are with you there is nothing there to be bored about.
If a married woman becomes a chronic gambler, that means she is addicted to gambling and it will not end well in her home, but as a single lady, you can gamble responsibly and it will never be a crime to do so.

Some women don't need to go to any gambling center or hall just to gamble and have fun while playing gambling, they can also have fun while they play cards or ludo's with their friends outside their own building or their friends' apartments. The gossiping part of women, that's what makes them different from men, so it is just part of us.

Many people who gamble nowadays are doing it purposely to make money from it, but only a few do it for entertainment purposes. So seeing women gamble nowadays is not a surprise, and it makes me believe that they are doing it for earning because many of them find means of earning, so hardly that is the reason why many decide to try their luck in gambling, and from that try, they become so addicted that even when they later find another source of income, it becomes hard for them to leave. But seeing women gamble for fun is very hard because, naturally, almost everyone doesn't like gambling.

I have bearly seen a woman addict gambler, so for that i think we have minimal number of women involved in gambling and some time the few of them that engage in gambling activities are all doing so because of the quest to have fun and pass time along the way, this is also not unrelated to the fact that society today looks bad on some activities and gambling is one of such activity.
And again as a woman society has set a bar between you and some activities and making those activities look like only men's activities and any woman who's over-involved in gambling may be discriminated against in society.

Both men and women have an interest in money. Women are no less than men in gambling. There are many female gamblers who like to spend time in casinos. Casinos or gambling platforms are beneficial for those who want to spend time rather than money. They like to spend their idle time with others. Moreover, through gambling a woman can also get rid of her temporary various human pressure which you have already mentioned. Nowadays women are very interested in gambling. If women had the same opportunities as men, the number of female gamblers would naturally increase. In some societies, if not all, women are still not free to conduct gambling freely.

Whatever it is, we all have our own reasons why we gamble. Regardless of the gender, there's no difference from a gambling man and gambling woman.

But let us say about what you've mentioned about a woman that just want to socialize. It's like for some movies that I have watched that they go there for some different purpose but that's included.

Many factors not just about those and just as us, there could be only one main reason why they gamble and that's to win money and none other than that.

I think women gamble because they are curious to know what gambling is like. They may have heard from their male friends that gambling is fun, exciting, and provides a challenge to win some money. But it could also be that the reasons said by @OP are the reasons put forward by women because if it is about reasons, they can say various reasons that will never be the same. Whether it is a man or a woman, they can both gamble for a long time, especially if the man or woman does not have self-control. We know that gambling addiction can happen to anyone regardless of gender, so men and women must be careful when they are gambling and should not gamble excessively.

That is true, just like most men, they have their own reasons and we can't pinpoint the majority reason here.
But in my experience, a lot are trying to gamble just for the experience, that's true to have fun as well.
However, when women got addicted, they for sure have similar reasons as most men gamblers.
In any case, we are all human, so yeah, regardless of the gender, we are all prone to gambling as it is already innate to humanity.

Gambling is considered a negative gaming activity for some people and when women play gambling, it becomes something strange and counterintuitive, so many will discriminate against women if they are caught involved in gambling. Actually, anyone has no problem getting into gambling when they are old enough and understand what they are doing in gambling. It's not always negative about gambling, it can be just a means of entertainment or a small game played with some small money too. What is dangerous is when gambling is used as the main income and causes addiction.

I've seen a lot of women who play "Tong-Its" (a popular card game in the Philippines) before. That game consists of three players and there are times when all of them are women. That was way back before smartphones were on the trend. Why do they do that? To kill time. Most of them are housewives who have done all their house chores in the morning and have nothing to do anymore until noon when lunch will be served. 3 - 5 hours of playing time and then go back home to eat and serve the kids. After that, an after-lunch game will be held that could last until almost dark.
That's their routine every day and I think the only drive is because there's really nothing to do inside the house anymore as they have already done everything in the morning. Plus, it gives them the time for gossip while playing small blinds.  :D

Why is it that it gives me the negative connotation when a woman goes to the casino just to "socialize"? I think that this is too much watching drama for me and I think that whatever happens there after socializing with other people remains there. I can't say that if somebody understands that because I've also watched too many videos from women of Vegas that they're coming back and forth there not just for the actual gambling but for something else. And if you still can't get that, it's more of socializing with people but looking for more intimate interaction from the other gambling guys there.

Why are we labeling gambling as something like makeup or something? There's only one reason why people would be interested in gambling in the first place, it's money. Even people who enjoy it for the thrill (such as me) originally started gambling because of the interest we had for money. Ofc I naturally devolved into just simply enjoying it but that's for the later part.

Anyhow, a LOT of things can be done to escape boredom or stress, or even experience enjoyment, it's not just gambling. I highly doubt it's even on the recommended list in the first place. While I don't disagree that it can be a reason, it can probably be said as the same for any other activity as well.

People goes to gamble for main reason, that is to earn money and increase their profits. Even women would see it as their first goal. Socializing and making new friends are just some of the little factors that make them excited to gamble. But I don't think married women are still capable of doing this. Enough for them to see their men gambling, and just consider theirselves as home buddy while taking care of their kids.

I can confidently tell you that what drives women into gambling is not very far from their male friends. Be it a boyfriend or a husband. They are the people that easily lure them into gambling. I have had a friend who always have different girlfriends and as much as he loves football and loves Sports Betting he will make sure he will introduce his girlfriend's into the same Sports Betting and before the relationship will come to an end, those girls are already into Sports Betting and discussing about football. So some girls in order to please their spouse have to engage in what their spouse are doing.

As like the other games,this gambling also entertain them by the gambling games.This enable the gamblers to think on their based society,because even now the women was engaged in the cooking alone.In some countries,they are not allowed to meet the male person of their family.The gambling also become the income source for the woman at all their needs,because after the gambling addiction of the male person of the society.So her family members and the gambling  addicted  won’t depend on others.

Same drive that makes men want to gamble. I don't think there's any inherent difference when it comes to women gamblers and male gamblers, since at the end of the day gambling is not discriminative anyway, and is as inclusive as it could be. Women go into gambling for two reasons which are just as similar as their male gambler counterparts, either for profit or for a good time. More often than not though they are in it for the profit and are gambling for the sake of earning more than what they initially have at hand, could be other reasons why that was the case but desperation in times of need are just one of the things I see that could lead women into taking such drastic measures.

All of them are just like you: they want to have fun and do other things on their free time. The notion that women aren't allowed to do what men do is just too outdated at this point. Perhaps they want to have fun, or want to make money from what they have right now. Whatever the case is, they have the right to gamble as they please, and the only thing we can do is to probably prevent them into going addicted by intervening early if we see signs of addiction from them.

Drive to earn more money and that is something which exists to us, not only to women. There are comparisons concerning why there are few female gamblers than male gamblers and as I’ve searched for it, the reason why there are more male gamblers is simply because they have higher risk taking trait than women.I doubt that in most instances for women who gamble, that they are influenced by other people. They’re a more curious gender than us male and for sure there are instances wherein female gamblers just learned how to, thru their initiative and curiosity.

I believe women go into gambling because of the same reason male does.  It may be:

• curiosity
• peer pressure
• remove stress and frustration
• have fun
• social interaction
• earn more money through winnings

Women are no different from male.  They are both human and have tendencies and likes and they have the same environment even though they have different physiques.  They both live on earth so obviously they have the same level of access on anything available here on earth.

What's the deal? Is there any something special or surprising if women got involved in gambling? Regardless of the reason why they become involved in gambling, it should be the same as how males got into it, generally in most cases. Human nature after all no matter what the gender.

I agree that gambling is also considered a form of entertainment therefore everyone is always welcome.

Might just be surprising to others if they saw females doing gambling because that is something not usual to see but again, no big deal.

Gambling is being played by men and women in the same way and the reason for women gambling are the same as the reason for any men to gamble. It varies from person to person but the major reasons can either to win money or have fun or both.

Yes, i understand that women gambling is not considered good by our society and many people think that gambling is a men/s passion but actually there is no difference of gender in gambling and since the online gambling has become popular, the many girls are involved in gambling behind the scenes.

although all members have already answered this question and I agree with them that the same reasons that lead men to play are the same reasons that lead women to play and although people also keep saying that there is nothing wrong with women also playing involved in gambling, in my opinion it is very important that if a person knows or knows a woman who is involved in gambling, then that person should be very attentive to this woman who is involved in gambling, this is because women They take everything they do with more feelings, and in gambling games, the more feelings we put in, the greater the size of our destruction.

For this reason, I would not advise any woman to play frequently in a casino, perhaps if she played once every 2 or 3 months it would be good, but if she becomes a frequent player or professional player, I would tell women not to follow that path. because it won't bring you anything good. Of course, I've seen some women showing off on social media as being professional gamblers, but it's funny that these are women who have twitch channels that are being sponsored by the casinos, so they're not losing money out of their pockets and they're not frustrated by gambling, on the contrary There are reasons to celebrate gambling because they make money. But those who don't have sponsorship are losing a lot, and it's women who are left with disappointments and psychological problems

The drive that makes men go into gambling must be the same with women. They are two similar creatures, after all. Some men want to gamble to be entertained. This must also be the same with some women. Some men gamble for the sake of winning or making money. Some women must also be driven by such motives. Some men gamble to try to clear their mind from the stress related to work or relationship or whatever. These must also be the same factors that drive some women into gambling.

And, if I may add, women should be given equal opportunity when it comes to gambling and other forms of entertainment. There are countries which prohibit women from some forms of entertainment enjoyed by men. That's unfair.

What makes the desire for gambling different between women and men?
Why do women need a reason to play at casinos or betting sites?

The time has passed when this was a sexist lifestyle and do you know why?
Around the 18th century, gambling was associated with criminal activity and was therefore considered a "disorder" to society. Because of this, many games were banned, and although many wealthy men continued to play in gentlemen's clubs, it was completely banned for aristocratic women. And so it went on for many years.

But, with the breakdown of this machismo, we currently have several famous female gamblers who are much better than any male bettor and their motive is the same as that of men... to have fun or make money.

I am not a woman but I see that women into gambling have similar behaviors to males. They enjoy having fun, that adrenaline pumping when they win money through it. When I ask they explain me it's relaxing feeling. I always feel like women are still more into winning and after *spending* money but males just like competition. That may be the biggest difference between us. I guess that behavior may be determined by different chemical events in our brains. Hard to be sure.

I rarely see women doing gambling but one of the reasons is that because of friends they will accompany their friends and have fun meaning they are into entertainment and at the same time they are bonding with each other if this is a physical casino.
 
Most women play at online casinos now just to be safe, and their reason is the same as ours to have fun or might be wanting to win a huge money to spend on something else

with all of that you mentioned reasons , then what is the difference from Man mate>? you already put all the reason why people goes in to gambling.

But some of my lady gambler friends reason? they wanted to Win and over power man at least  in gambling table.
so they can prove to themselves that they are at some point dominant than men.

I've been playing for years in casinos especially, physical casinos, and at every table that I've been sitting there is always a woman sitting and playing/gambling. There may be a lot of reasons why they are gambling, one reason is that they practice their social skills by meeting new people and also to socializing with other players. Gambling or playing is not always you want to win huge money but also to have some fun and bond with other players.

There are many other ways to meet people or get away from being bored that don't involve the risk of losing a lot of money. When it comes to addiction, gambling is famous for destroying lives and families. This isn't a carefree game of chance where you can win some, lose some, and still go home with a grin on your face. Is it possible to describe the rush of winning? It won't last forever. But bankruptcy? Indefinitely, at least. I think it's not only wrong, but terribly reckless, to promote gambling as a social tool or stress reliever for women or anybody else. The same results can be attained in much healthier methods. I think it's time for you to reevaluate your position

I often see several female friends gambling in online casinos because they are not too used to playing in offline casinos at gambling tables with other female friends, but sometimes my female friends often play in a hotel with their female friends but after my government made a law prohibiting gambling they switch to using online casinos which make it easier to avoid legal problems.

The average person who gambles at online casinos is usually easier and more secretive to be safer and especially looking for fun. It's true that sometimes women gamble just for fun and not entirely for money because my female friends always say that gambling for money is a fatal mistake. . that's why I say this because I asked him directly.  ;D

If you're talking offline or physical casinos yes it is more sociable they want to meet new friends or guys and want to hang out with friends but it's different when it's online they want two things they want to primarily to have fun and they want to win money, gambling is dominated by males but that doesn't mean that women cannot play its just that motivation are not the same, I'd like to think that women are more on being sociable because they have an image to protect compared to men.

I think only desperate women resort to gambling as the ratio is 100000:10 men vs women in gambling and this shows that very few women gamble for real.I mean in UK you can find the most female gamblers because UK females do not care that much from what I remember being there and they were super fun to hang out with,of course I am married now and they remain a distant memory but I want to say that those women used to love gambling.Where I live now gambling for women are isolated cases and the society looks them like they are doing something very wrong.It all depends on the country and customs I would say.

Socializing with other players might be the goal of gambling because by meeting other players, they can get to know each other and later, they can also make an appointment to meet again to gamble another day. Women will use many reasons why they are interested in gambling and may not want to reveal them to us. And that's okay because it's each woman's secret if they don't want to tell the truth. But with the development of the internet, women can gamble from their homes without going to the casino, which means they don't want to meet other people at the casino. They can just gamble from home and can do other activities while they only use gambling as a tool to get pleasure using money.

The behaviour of the woman will be not same as like the behaviour of the man.Because the man will ready to take risk their life,if they totally addicted to it.It also the same phenomenon to the boy who love the girl.The boy will take the risk,but the risk from the girl is like only from the fifty percentage of the woman.So if the gambling is suit for the woman,she will continue the game.But the woman mostly will not take risk in the game with the full investing from the life saving money.

When we talk about women, we might not believe if someone said there is a community where most women gamble almost every day. well, you can try to search it for yourself because I don't want to post any pictures regarding it since I respect women in terms of their hard work. in the Philippines, there is this game called bingo that are common gambling game played by most women in the community especially those who reside in the slum areas. Because this is how they were raised and they think this is just a normal thing to do in their everyday lives. There are some documentaries regarding this one as well.

The factor that drives people towards gambling is the money that can be won through it. Gender doesn't have anything to do with gambling, Women usually stay away from risk. This is why it is possible to see the ratio of men into gambling higher that of women. In physical casinos it is possible to see good number of women and I'm not sure how far is the participation of women into online gambling. There are women who prefer spending regularly on buying lottery tickets, because this won't make them loss big and if luck favoured the same could be life changing for them.

There are some few numbers of women in the world today that always want to be like a man, they handle things just like a man would, this is why my grand father used to say that there are some men living inside some women and there are some women living inside some men, do you know that not all men are manly enough? We have strong women in this world that makes decisions that men aren't able to.

I believe that money drives both men and women, but men are more into this level of responsibility more than women, 95% of gamblers gamble because of money, and only few of them do it for the entertainment only, men are in gambling more than women and men are the kings when it comes to taking risks.

The answer to this question would depend on each individual because not all women gamble for the reason. Some of the them gamble because of the reasons you said and others do it because they want to get some money to support the family. Some woman are good with football prediction so they go into sport betting to assist their hundred when he isn't bringing sufficient money for the family and this is a good habits instead of staying idle.

Another's reason why women go into gambling is to escape boredom, most women are stay at home moms and their life gets boring when there's no one to discuss or gossip with and they'll want to keep their minds occupied therefore gambling will be the next option.

maybe some of the opinions here definitely have almost the same understanding that gambling is indeed place to find pleasure in playing games that we like with a little luxury and risking little money to have fun with friends or with family and this is actually what gamblers have to do, considering gambling is just for fun, like some people gamble to entertain themselves to relieve stress or boredom after work and maybe this is the reason why women go into gambling just to have fun with their friends when there an event or anything that encourages gambling. but it all comes back to each individual mindset because there are also female gamblers who get into gambling just to get lucky in large amounts of money. so not all female gamblers gamble just for fun, some even consider it a place to double their money.

I think men and women have the same reasons when they end up getting involved in gambling, it could be because they have fun or because they see friends doing it and what cannot be denied is the desire to get additional income when they can win, once again gambling is not an activity that provides certainty of income, but often seeing posts or stories of people who get large sums can be very tempting to end up playing, but there is also a tradition where in my country in some areas it is common for women to gamble, they gather and gamble either because they enjoy doing it or because it is a common activity which will definitely be done, but of course the money circulating in gambling is not as big as when playing in a casino.

I agree with all your observations, there are women with strong character who want to show it off in physical casinos women are very sociable, and physical casinos are one of the places where they can hang out with their friends especially if
they have many male friends, but when it comes to online casinos it is all about fun and making money at the same time.

But women are more secretive than men so they keep it a secret especially if the woman already has a family of their own they have to protect their reputation to their family and friends.

Your question reminds me of one of the studies I once read, which stated that women are used to and have the urge to gamble, such as research that concludes women and gambling.
Example:

This factor is further strengthened by the nature of women in general, such as the difficulty of making a choice and the difficulty of understanding boundaries, When a woman talks about money, the end of the story, there are no limits and other choices in her soul, she wants to know and try very high, plus point number 4 above, that's it.

That's the character of women, their desire is strong to gamble, they have the desire to make money easily.

True. This era actually made more women with strong character because of what they fought for and that is equality. What men can do can be done by women too and I don't disagree with that. Yes, they can.
The only problem that I could see is companies with owners that believe in traditional things that women are still less productive than men.

Regarding gambling, I think they are actually better than men, they think safe, unlike men who take risks even though they are high-risk gamble so maybe they can make more profits than us because they know when to stop or when to gamble more.

.

I feel that most women in the modern world have more time, besides, their jobs are almost always very convenient, perhaps this is an innate advantage of them and of course, too much free time will make us need a special experience in life, the way they communicate with gambling is just to satisfy their sense of curiosity, the monetary benefits are really not great. A huge difference is that women rush into gambling but with their shyness, they will not stay long with this boredom and repetition, more precisely, they are very meticulous and calculating with the money they spend

The reason why someone drive into gambling is same regardless it's a men, women, trans, non binary, pansexual etc, it's for fun.

Loneliness, depression, boredom, stress etc, it's a sign if someone not happy, gambling is one of a way to make someone become happy. If someone can't get fun from gambling since they're looking for making money, they shouldn't gamble at all.

I see many people assuming stuff about women, and I wonder on what basis those assumptions are made, and what kind of places people are from. For example, women being bored by being home all the time presupposes that women aren't employed (which is not representative of many countries) and ignores all the housework that women do and men often kind of forget exists and vastly underestimate.
According to research  (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10087406/)that I've found (although it's very limited), main reasons why women gamble are the desire to escape everyday life, financial reasons, socialization, and leisure.
Research  (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3519978/)on why people gamble (again, somewhat limited) says most responders say it's for financial reasons, but other major reasons include personal impact (relaxation, excitement), advertising that got them into gambling, and because it's a part of society.
Some have mentioned in the thread that perhaps the drives for gambling are not different based on gender, and I tend to agree.

Gambling is definitely not something that can be classified by gender because it is something that appeals to both genders due to its wide variety of bets and games. Regardless of gender, all individuals actually turn to gambling for one main purpose: to make easy money. Of course, gambling is done for entertainment purposes but basically everyone's main purpose in gambling is to make money the easy way. For this reason, everyone regardless of the gender of the individual turns to gambling in this way.

If we talk about the reasons for gambling, the main reason is to make money easily as I mentioned. Other reasons can be listed as entertainment, relieving boredom, passing time and spending time with expensive adult games.

I would also like to point out that my own country is literally a gambling paradise. In many physical casinos I generally see women rate being half and in some cases more than a half of total gamblers. So, it is not uncommon for women to go to casinos or gamble.

There's two primary reason why people drive in doing gambling. It is applicable to majority of the gambler weather it's men, women or other gender classification. It is because of the money that the gambler earn and the entertainment that we get from doing gambling. There are small number of people who has their own personal reason but majority of us has the same reason. I believe in gender equality especially in the gambling industry, your gender doesn't tell you why you are doing gambling.

Women who grew up in a place where people gamble and, in a family, where the other members have no problem with gambling may end up becoming gamblers. A woman who is easily influenced and enters a serious relationship with a man who is gambler can start trying out gambling out of influence, same can happen when a woman has friends who gamble. We are not easily influenced as most men are, but we can still be influenced and even become serious addicts. Women are not supposed to be addicted to gambling.

You got a point, based on what I have said before many of the women in our place has a parent who gambles as well and sometimes their friend influences them. Without influencing them they will not play because they are afraid to be judge by other people but if there's someone who will influence them I am sure they will have the confidence to play without worrying with their image.

Nowadays, especially in my area, a lot of ladies bet. It puzzles me a lot, presumably as a result of the country's hardship. Previously, it was soccer games, but today you will see women enjoying virtual games.
When I spotted a woman playing a virtual game last week while driving by close to my home, I thought it was crazy. I went inside the betting shop to find out why, and she explained that her husband cannot afford to pay for her bills and the children because he lost his job a month ago. I'm sorry, I was completely speechless. Though some people just enjoy it, it's very distressing to see women gamble. :-[ :-[ :-[

This happens and in some cases it used to be the winning of a person that drives them towards gambling. Here they never realise that gambling won't bring success to everyone. Just because a person next to us got lucky we shouldn't fall for it. We should learn and understand well about the consequences and then go for it. This is where most of the gamblers go wrong. Women won't get addicted, because they always try to stick to limits if things weren't favouring them.

Women are skeptical in taking risks, and most of them sees gambling as a men thing and since they dislike any high risk activities so gambling won't be attractive to the women and at that we may even have to hide some of our gambling activities from them, be it your spouses or mum or your sis since they can easily give you negative vibes about your gambling activities.


I dont blame them any ways, because even the male folks already know the high risk in gambling and how it outcome can ruin someone life if care is not taken, but because pf the fun that men drive from gambling sometimes they still take that risk regardless.

Excluding the winning if money in gambling there's also entertainment and fun in gambling and it's not for man alone. Women are also seeking for means to catch fun and be entertained that's why some of them get into gambling.

Unlike men for most women that are gambling the money making part in gamble is secondary to them once the entertainment is sure to be attained

And this is why we scarcely have women addicts to gambling even though some may argue this point that the number of men in gambling is higher than that of women that's why men's addiction to gambling is prevalence.

They could be bored on doing the same thing over and over again but not bored in a way that they don't have anything to do because women are known to be assigned in the house chores and baby sitting. Women are still a human that needs entertainment and gambling can be a good source of it. They should only gamble properly because if not, only the bad things are the ones that they can experience.

So, we men as their partner should allow them. They don't need to leave their house anymore because like you said, there are now online gambling and we can easily access them using almost any device that has a capability to access the internet.

On average women tend to be more risk averse in gambling. It is not uncommon for women to behave like this because women are not always associated with earning money. We can easily get this idea by distinguishing between men and women on the casino gambling platform. Since women are less willing to take risks, they also have less desire to gain. However, online gambling may offer more advantages to women than physical casino gambling, so the number of women will increase slightly, but it is much less than men.

That is definitely a good idea. I mean a woman could have trouble in a casino filled with drunk man. Maybe some man could argue against it, I mean red pill mafia has grown way more than ever in history, so it is not going to end up with a lot of trouble, but if we are talking about a situation where we need to be realistic, if I was a woman I wouldn't want to be in a place filled with drunk men all around me.

There is absolutely no guarantee of safety in that situation, you just go with trust and hope nothing bad happens, or you could just gamble online and do not have to put yourself at that risk at all, there is 0% chance of anything going wrong there, well except you are going to lose your money either way lol.

If I look at it from my personal perspective. I saw that they were women who decided to enter the world of gambling because they were motivated by loneliness and curiosity. Because even though gambling is not their (women's) style and as we know, gambling is dominated by men, but this also does not rule out the possibility for women to join in gambling.
When someone starts to feel lonely, quite a few of them decide to do something reckless or do something new that they have never done in their life, including gambling. Another reason they (women) get involved in gambling is because women are curious about the activities carried out by men (gambling) because they see that they can be so happy when gambling.

There is basically nothing gender specific in this thing, both men and women are dragged into gambling for the same reasons, they are either looking for an escape from the outer world, from the stresses and sadness that have surrounded them, the loneliness that never goes away, or for some it's merely a source for entertainment when they have money and want to do something with it, they think of playing some gambling games and having some fun.

There is one other group of people that get into gambling only with the purpose of making money with the money that they already have. This is caused either by greed or due to wishes and desires that can't be fulfilled by a regular day job and the person might be thinking that they might win something significant from it.

Totally agree on this. I don't think any gender specific matter affects the gambling engagement activities of the people. I think what's stopping women from doing gambling is our  notion that they shouldn't be seen in any casinos. I think both men and women have the same reasons, it can be either for fun and entertainment or they wanted to generate income from it. Others, find gambling a social activity especially for those who works on offices and felt like they lack of any social interactions. They see it as an opportunity to meet new people as a form of releasing their stress from work. I have known lots of women and friends who engage gambling, for the reason that they wanted to build good relationship with the people around them. And most of them are into pokers and blackjack.

The reason why women gamble is precisely as you said. For example, if a woman's surroundings do not include healthy forms of entertainment, only gambling or soccer betting are available, then those will be her only options. The second reason is that some women have both time and money, but instead of investing in business, they choose a type that they think is entertaining and making money.
There are casinos where the percentage of female players is very high. From young to old. Once they start gambling, women are very susceptible to addiction. Once addicted, they are even crazier than men. and will do everything to get money into the casino.

When I saw your username, at first I was thinking it is bear but it was beerlover!  ;D

I don't think Casino that are physical allow smoking and drinking, it's always in their rule not to play to disturb others, imagine if there is asthma patient come around to play and have fun only to be disturbed by the smoke and collapse, it is going to be a big blow on the casino because such people can die inhaling any inflammable or txic susbstance, this same goes to women because of the way society view them, they always comes first and will be protected at all cost.

In todays tech where everything can be done remotely, I think women will be at peace playing at the comfort of their home playing than coming out physically, it doesn't just save them from been profile as a gambler but security wise, it protect them danger. People may say that playing at home might not be fun but I prefer having my bet displayed on my screen instead of going out, I don't like going out to bet in the first place.

Well, if that's the case, it's best for women not to go too often to offline casinos and prefer to gamble at online casinos because they get a guarantee of security. This means they don't have to meet drunk men who lose at gambling and who can abuse women at will. And if I am a woman, I also don't want to be in such a situation and prefer not to visit offline casinos.

But I'm sure that in the bigger casinos, the casinos wouldn't tolerate men getting drunk and not being able to control themselves. The drunken men must have been told to leave the casino because they would disturb the other gamblers. Casinos will do something about people who want to cause riots on their business premises. So if the casino is comfortable, women will still want to visit it to gamble or relax while watching people gamble.

They do have smoking areas and liquors are allowed in casinos. Maybe limited but I'm sure they allow drinking inside a casino and also they have club bouncers with huge biceps. But in today's era, cameras are everywhere. Somehow people feel safe when there are cameras in every corner.

Men don't go inside a casino just to drink though but women I think bring friends with them while they play slot.
Women are very social and they mingle with boys in the casino. They are not very social only to other girls sexier and more attractive than them.

I think the major reason why most women engage in gambling is because of the kind of environment they happened to find themselves in. Money they said is not a gender based tool so when they see most men around them gamble and win at the end of the day, they'll want to get involved in that same thing the men are doing and getting financial returns.
Gambling does not have gender restrictions and in as much as more women feel okay in gambling, it's absolutely finefor them to get involved.

Gambling is not gender-peculiar, all genders have been seen gambling, and in some climes, you would see more women gambling than men. Only that you will find more men generally gambling than women and the reason is that women tend to have lesser financial burdens and responsibilities than women which is why they are not as desperate for money as men.

Also, all the reasons you iterated above that lead women to gamble are good, and in addition, the environment in which the woman grew up matters. There are some you can never preach gambling to them no matter how bored they are or financially challenged, while there are some that have been infected since they were growing up. This set of people sometimes do it not for the financial gains but just feel like gambling for the feelings of it.

I feel sorry for her but she could have had an idea of the lifestyle of a sailor before walking down the aisle with him. I wouldn't have really consider loneliness, boredom and stress as a driving factor, but this explains how they could drag women into gambling. However, I think the major reason women go into gambling is because they want to earn for themselves. They interact everyday with their male friends, brothers, colleagues who are into gambling and who talks about their big wins, so they are also tempted to give it a shot.

What makes women go into gambling?

The main point is money so that they can buy stuff that is needed in the home and also help the husband with finances.

Women are human also men and women are the same with what is the reason of men go to gambling it is still the same with women, they go for fun or they go for profit, women also get addicted same with men or they are more able to control their emotions though there are just rarely seen in the physical casino but right now with online one there are tons of women doing it as they just can gamble using their smartphones.

Generally, both men and women have similar motivations for gambling, which can vary from person to person. These motivations may include seeking entertainment, leisure, or using gambling as a form of escapism, among others. I find it puzzling why there is often an attempt to distinguish between the motivations of males and females, unless these reasons are genuinely gender-specific, which I believe is quite rare.

The casino will ensure the safety of everyone who visits the casino will feel comfortable. And that's right. Surveillance cameras are always there in every casino corner to monitor everything closely. If anyone wants to cause trouble, the casino security team will immediately deal with it. That will make everyone feel comfortable playing in a casino like that and not only men but women will also find a comfortable place to gamble.

Yes, women will come with their friends and often gamble with friends and other gamblers. There may be more challenges felt by every gambler, making people want to gamble longer.

It is true that women have greater curiosity than men and when they (women) see lots of people (men) gambling, it is not impossible that they will do it because of that curiosity. There is less gambling among women than men and usually women gamble just to have fun because most women don't have a strategy or pattern to win at gambling. Therefore, let them gamble if they don't harm the people around them, maybe by gambling they can lighten the burden they carry a little in a day.

I believe because we are on a different era now where we treat women equally and they have the equal rights as well, this open a lot of opportunities for them.
Gambling is for everybody as long as you have the money you can gamble, and since our technology grows a lot its easy now to access any gambling site and for the women they can gamble without going out and being bashed for stereotyping, women are very powerful now and they have the voice already.

I think in this case curiosity is not the main thing when women want to gamble because in the end not all are like that and it doesn't even make sense when they gamble just because they are curious.
The problem of gambling does not see gender or anything because in the end everything can do but for this woman also actually I see that environmental factors and the closest people influence, which distinguishes and is considered a mistake in this case because of the impression of women who should not do things like this and it is considered negative but for me a sense of curiosity will arise when the environment that is lived in and the closest people do gambling so in this case whether it is a woman or a man all have that sense.

Every one has their choice of life,what the person may likes might be different from what another person will like.There are some women who like sports,and it's only sports that are there area of interest.Such women shouldnt be discriminated and deprived of what they love.While some women go into gambling simply because their man(husband) doesn't have that capability to  provide food in the house, therefore the drive to make money will make her go into gambling.But what ever reason at all,it is just  good that everyone who knows how to gamble or wants to start gambling,or takes gambling as his or her choice of life should be given a chance to prove their passion,be it man or woman.

Well, I can't really say I know the right reason that drives women to gamble, but I will say it's the same reason for male gamblers too. There was this woman in my place. She was really doing well in her business, but unfortunately, her husband died, and she was just taking care of all the bills herself until her business closed up. By then, she was already trying to have a relationship with another man, who happened to be her customer, while she was still running her business. But lastly, the man introduced the woman to gambling too, and up until now, the woman just keeps gambling, and according to her, the reason is to get extra income. So, I think women gamble for the same reason of making money too.

Maybe curiosity to what other people say to them about fun and possible earnings they can get playing on casino makes woman decide to play on a casino. Also peer pressure is additional factor convince them since sometimes friends activities can make us decide to play so that we can join to their activities then have fun with them. And this is not wrong or mistake decision they could think it will be only wrong if they became obsessive then get into addiction, but if they are doing fine and bet less just for fun then there's nothing wrong with the new activity they are participating on.

When I saw this picture, I didn't know my reaction towards it. And I did not know if to be sad or it is funny to me because the comment is so humorous. But then it could also be the reason women involved in gambling just to have a new set of cooking stuff maybe new set of dress or shoes. Priority is very much dependent on gender. You can see a guy who gambles just to buy a bottle of bear and it will be so funny to the other gender who do not take bear. I have said what I think make women go into gambling, this is just a reaction to the above comment.

Gambling is clearly for every mature mind out there that's capable or handling the good and bad moments in gambling. We just make sure we have the best gambling techniques before applying for the system, because it's never an easy way down this path, there are both profits and losses. Women anticipate in gambling if they develop interest towards the system, but we shouldn't criticize the very few ones that are in already, ofcourse everyone has targets of making it up but facing challenges will reduce our efforts to the minimum. Perhaps Women ought to chase other exploring alternatives than settling for gambling which is risky.

That's correct, same reason why others in provinces also use gambling as their escape from boredom. I've seen it and when you ask them that's the only reason they will provide. To kill time. I guess just like men, we also have different reasons why we gamble, some to satisfy our ego about winning, others to make money, and some to entertain themselves while taking out the stress that they feel.
My curiosity here is about why other people still look bad at women who gamble. It's just the same. Especially in this era where women are also working their asses to provide for their families, perhaps like men, they also want that alone time to entertain themselves and some women do like gambling more than others who like shopping to relieve their stress. The good part is, there are a lesser number of women who got addicted to gambling, I actually have never seen a news about that.

Most of the time it is greed. Women are not much different than men. They can be as stupid and as greedy as us. I have seen women that went bankrupt before. It is not as rare as you think. Some of them are addicted to alcohol or/and smoking too. Sometimes they just look for something to pass the time though. Maybe some of those women have problems at work or have problems with their husbands so they may want to get away from everything and suddenly gambling looks like an attractive play.

What you say is correct because both men and women also have greed, which can come suddenly, especially if they can win. I've never seen a woman go bankrupt because of gambling but I guess it must exist and maybe the news is not spread widely. But it could also be that women just want to spend their time at the casino enjoying drinks and smoking and they don't gamble as often as men. There will be many reasons why women gamble like men and we better let it be their secret.

The same reason of the man, there's no gender bias in playing gamble as long as they have the money they can play. Peopele play caisno because they want to entertain and at the same time enjoy with their money, sometimes we cannot deny there's a chance we can meet other people or actually new people right there that could give us a good connection, strategy, techniques and other things that we never learn so far, there's nothing wrong with it its always happen. Its all about them if they want to get eaten by the gambling addiction like others.

I assumed the picture is supposed to be funny. Tho I felt a little bit of sarcasm in there. Anyway, women gamble primarily for entertainment and enjoyment same as men. I mean, there is no really a distinct difference to generalize. The drive lies beyond gender but more on the behavior and the capability to gamble.

I mean are there still cultures who still see gambling to be less socially acceptable for women? It would be so outdated.
