Gender bias in gambling.

[justdimin]

You have to realize that gambling is a business and they are only after the money and nothing more. So, if it is only men that are gambling in casinos, then people would focus on that to make more money. If you have 98% men in your casino and 2%, would you do equal ads or whatever? No, you would put in some semi-naked chicks to attract men more and more, that is how you make money.

Because at the end of the day, if it meant that 98% was women, they would put men with no shirts on and with abs, they do not care about what they do, they only care about who they are doing it to and how much money it would mean back to them and that is the profitable version for them.

Why the bias? should gambling be only for Men?

it depends on the type of game, because there are some with a high rate of female or male presence.
At least in my country in Italy, scratch cards or the classic lotto and its variants have a strong presence of female players.
Conversely, in betting rooms where sportbets are placed it is practically impossible to meet a woman.

the social law that makes all of that has a difference. Gambling is not just a game for men, it is a game between genders and women at any age can freely do it

but the social law applied by each country is different. if in my country, women who play gambling are those who are very dirty, and it continues to stick in people's minds so that almost no women in my area play gambling

Strongly disagreed on this.Why should boys have this all fun.God created this land for the people,not for the male or female.Some male dominated society still think,all are belong to them.I am Man with broad mind.Not all the people think like us,we should be positive person.Because the gambling need of positive minded person.Only positive minded will earn good money from gambling.

The pleasure of gambling should be for everyone, not just for men. So women should not get a negative stigma when gambling. But indeed this
has happened a long time ago and may be very difficult to remove it from society, so as a woman, they have to accept it. Fortunately,
technological developments are very rapid and eventually make many online casinos appear. Finally, this is a solution for women who want to
play gambling, but still want to maintain their privacy. Because gambling at online casinos we don't need to give up our identity, at online casinos
we can play anonymously.

There would be always that kind of criticism when it comes to gender since we dont usually see women who would hang out with these places and on the time that people do see it then this is the time
they would really be having bad impressions on what they are doing neither they would approach it out or would simply look badly unto her which i do see unjustifiable or totally unfair.
Its true that gambling doesnt have gender that it do requires and as long you do have the money to spent or make use of then its none of others business on what you would gonna do.

Yeah sports betting is definitely something that is uncontrollably for men, and of course there are females that bet on sports but very few, from where I look at it, if I find a woman betting on sports I won't look down at her at all, the opposite of that I would be impressed and curious on how she started, and it's something we have in common how on earth I would consider it a bad thing.

There seems to be a bias in the opinions of people regarding gender and gambling. Most persons in my locale consider gambling as something more appropriate for males than females, who made that a law?

Will it be possible if you could share which country you are staying? That is very unfortunate to hear that such bias still exists in the 20th century given that lots of women fought for their rights and equality on their respective countries.

-In my locale, a man who is considered a compulsive gambler may be overlooked if he is doing well regardless, but a for a woman, regardless of her financial state, will be perceived and considered highly irresponsible if she is found in a betting or gambling place.

This is just straight up sexist. Again, in the 20th century, the society has recognized and understood that women and men are definitely equal. In fact, almost all of the jobs that were once viewed that only males can do, also females now can do. Even in gambling, in fact, there was a thread before stating that women can handle their emotions well on gambling.

Why the bias? should gambling be only for Men?

Gambling should be available for everyone irrespective of one's gender. The fact that there are countries that has an unequal view between men and women is just really unfortunate. I hope they recognize that such bias cannot exist as there is practically no difference between the two genders.

Gambling is not legal in many culture and countries - having a label of gambler is serious taboo in our society. It is not much appreciated and admired in our law, culture and society. Anyone found gambling will be in trouble, hence be it male or female, in our society the gambler would face a serious trouble.

Your analysis are not correct, Goan doing further research and you'll see that.
Women are much involved in betting than before.
They're also well known punters who are female you can find online.

[mrongoz_imut]

Commonly many men than women active on gambling platform site without have rule not allowed for women keep active and can participants on gambling world, I think women spent their spare time with shopping and enjoying discussing or make any gossip with their friend than take gambling world as spare time job. My country have different with women as influence on gambling promoting but funny although active for promoting gambling site they not active as player on gambling world, just advertising only not as player on gambling.

Yes, gambling has been outlawed in a number of countries. Well, I believe that this is more prevalent in religious countries because they do not permit it for the majority of women, but have you read the thread that is celebrating Women's Day and is saluting those women gamblers? I believe that there are a significant number of women who still participate in gambling. As a woman, I believe that seeing a woman gamble is no longer shocking, whereas it was previously. It was liberating to see, but in the twenty-first century, almost everyone is aware of it and has nothing to say about it.

Maybe it's because it's related to making money to live, so women who play gambling are considered unsuitable, but many women out there also play gambling like men. Maybe if a man playing gambling can still be considered for marriage but not if it is a woman because of her nature, a woman has to look after her children, while a man has to provide for his family.

But in the modern era like today, where gambling sites are found on the internet, it opens up opportunities for women to try playing gambling, especially now that crypto is more popular and many gambling sites have applied crypto as a substitute for fiat.

Unfortunately the gender bias is not going to change even with 98% women. Bare naked men do not convince girls to gamble more,,, I think you have to get into the psychology of things. Make it cool make it trendy make it desirable,,, this is what makes women buy.

I know men supposedly work all the same way but for me and I bet you a lot of others who gamble sports, we want to see sportspeople advertising and promoting not chicks who are not even into sports.

This is the past, now things have changed alot. From what's been said in the OP, if looks like he's in the rural part of the country. It isn't his country, but in most of the rular part of the country people have the same opinion. This is the reason why gamblers unlike the gender look for an anonymous gambling access.

Another thing, the human civilization and culture is created in such a way. Maybe this will change with the morden thoughts to which rural population need to get adopted. It won't happen in a short, it takes time for gradual change.

Also people have bad impression towards girls engage on gambling although little by little this is been accepted by community. Also not surprising if they are just promoting it because women is much careful about their money compare to men and they most provably use their money on things that satisfy them like what you said.

[Agbe]

Accourding to a saying, what a man can do, a woman can even do it better than the man  Although societies and traditions are divers. There are some societies in the world that clearly stated the activities of a woman and a man. Most traditions  forbid a woman to climb palm trees while some do the accept it both.

All depend on the traditions, cultures, believes and the norms of the society.

In the ancient days, women were not permitted to gamble in the African Tradition. But in the contemporary world most of the believes  have died down.

Therefore, Gender biasness in gambling is still based on the traditions and the norms in the society. Because most societies women smoke more than even men.

So, as for me, gambling is for men because women are to look after the children while the man go out to strong and bring food to the house.

It isn't anything new or weird, it's just the mindset that was naturally made over time in a community, in this case, yours. Ofc I strongly disagree with this, being a rare case does not mean that it does not conform with what is normal, since being normal in the first place is something very subjective. It's just a dumb perception that a person grew up with. I won't deny that it happens and that one shouldn't blame themselves for having such a realization but they should stray away from it as early as possible since bias is a very damaging thing to others. View the world with an open mind, it's going to help in the long term.

[mu_enrico]

If you look at the demographics of video gamers, the majority is still male, even though the female group is growing. So female gamers are rare or unusual in the view of mainstream gamers. The phenomenon also happens in gambling, where male gamblers are deemed as usual/normal and female gamblers are unusual/abnormal. Yes, it's bias, but it's natural. Read about the relationship between testosterone level and gambling activity.

What's wrong with this "gender bias" is that they view female gamblers as bad people, while more permissive to male gamblers. It's like in sex where if a man bangs lots of chicks, he is "the man," while if a woman bangs lots of man, she is "a slut." There's no quick cure for this societal problem. What we can do is just treat them the same. If enough people doing that, the society will automatically change.

Yes it isn't new and though we do appreciate women empowerment but in area of gambling woman are still struggling to be easily accepted by the society as a normal activity for them. And that's unfair if we were going to think but the society couldn't still normalize this one but as I know women are brave and resilience and that they follow what they want and they think they can without being affected by the gender bias around them..

I think that rather than it being a gender bias, it seem more to be a biological issue. Gender bias is not the right word here, I think. Men are just wired to take risks and women are wired to keep out of risk's path. Survival of the species depended on those "biases". So it does not strike me odd that more men would take risks like gambling while women would rather not lose their money (life's blood).

Women are definitely in the advantage here.

along side - woman focuses on risks while man focuses on profit. Both have different ways of perceiving things. In our society woman are very careful in money matter because most of the people are middle class - they live pay cheque to pay cheque so they would not risk their little savings on gambling. Rather they will invest it somewhere to be on safe side.
