Gender in Gambling [differences between Women and Men in Gambling]

[romero121]

When you talk about gambling, it seems that you are talking about the kind of irresponsible activity we sometimes see in clinical cases.

It is true that women are usually more reasonable in financial terms, especially in developing countries (in developed ones, it's true that they don't usually waste their money in alcohol, high bets etc. but they do purchasing expensive lotions and unnecessary fashion accessories), but gambling responsibly has nothing to do with respect to one's family.

BTW, I'm witnessing a generational change in this topic: more and more little girls are getting into sports in my country, especially football, so I foresee a greater female demand of sports bets in a few years, when they reach the legal gambling age.

here, it's a normal behavior ^{(women betting on sports)} especially now that the women's world cup event is taking place, i'm sure the majority of those involved in betting are women.  in Brazil, for example, you can often find women who are very good at playing football, they certainly don't just play football but follow soccer betting too, the culture and habits of a community really influence the behavior of women ^{(similar to when you are in vegas or macau, sightings of female gamblers are common)}

If women can be allowed to participate in sports football competition such as the world cup it then mean they should be allowed to support their teams they fan by also betting on them ^{cashing fun and making money at same time}. A lot of cultural apprenhensions are denying women the right to self determination of activities which men are freely allowed to take on and those regions where such cultures are prevailing it has hindered the ability of women to showcase their innate capabilities. These People needs to realize that  If participating in gambling is viewed as something that  shaming and irresponsible to the family then it should be projected on both gender and not to the female alone.

When Women are given rights and provided with equality, it is a must to let them gamble. Whether it is a men or women, both were from a family. It is bad that men gambling isn't shameful whereas Women spending into gambling activities make the family get ashamed. Another thing women are not much interested into gambling as men. Very little percentage were interested into gambling while the majority are much focused on casino and lottery based gambling.

Living alone and don't have a family is one-factor women begin to gamble. The women, as I know are even more addicted than men. I've met women in Pachinko (Japan) always playing on the same machine at the same time. She even came early than other men players and looks unconcerned toward people. In this case, I have results if a Woman is more dangerous in gambling, If she has a family, I am pretty sure she will ignore it and don't care if lost the money family.

Maybe the case will be different in each country, or each individual. In the case of the story you are telling, it seems I can interpret that the woman felt lonely, had no friends, and so on, so she chose to find entertainment for herself by gambling. however, what happens in our country, not "Japan" is mostly due to association. it is very close that social interaction influences a person's lifestyle, both women and men.

I see many women who like to play gambling, but mostly play online slots. simply put, slot games are very easy to play without having to have high knowledge and insight like other gambling that involves skill. in this discussion I will not involve from a good or bad perspective, but more on female gamblers. in the digital era like today, we are no strangers to technology, the internet. This need has become part of our daily lives.
Now, women don't only think about appearance, passion, cosmetics, and financial management issues. women nowadays, too, are involved in gambling. and I, have witnessed this femonema. now gambling is no longer a gender issue, even though men still dominate it.

[Fredomago]

If a woman is interested in gambling, she should be allowed to gamble and get entertained while gambling at the casino because there's no gender requirements in gambling, anyone can gamble as long as they feels secured in doing so and can afford the risk involved in gambling, most women were known to have low priority for gambling because it requires money, loosing it and it's time taking as well.

Likewise, as long as they have money to play and they are enjoying the game there's should no limitation with woman to gamble, it's just with how the culture take care of this kind of discriminations, though the interest from woman to gamble is not that high compared to men who mostly present into this kind of activities.

Man use the venue to kill some time or some are seeing it as quick way to make or lose money, in which woman in my opinion have more options that can take to kill time, most is shopping both offline and online.

That's funny though, women have more options to kill time, and you mention shopping offline and online.
But actually that's true, aside from shopping, if you have kids, there are tons of household chores aside from tending these kids.
So usually, they have no more spare time to this kind of entertainment, and if they are in a casino, it means they are just having some fun with friends or family.
And not really into gambling as a regular patron. Also, they are cautious on how much they spend on this activity as they know they have other important bills to pay.

With those obligations, the chance of polluting their mindsets might be lesser (as per my opinion), if they are still responsible by means of thinking more about their family, gambling will be the last thing that will come up to kill some time, just like what I mentioned they've got other things that will allow them to entertain themselves, though more on house chores if they are a plain housewife or if they are working the focus is more on the obligations,

But the same deal with how addictions triggered those men who get attached to gambling. They can also suffer at that same level. There's no one who can escape if the engagement is already deep into gambling.

Some countries and neighborhoods will indeed have different situations, there are neighborhoods that will have a lot of women involved in it, and there may even be none at all.
Even in my country, I see some influencers promoting gambling sites, and you can say when they do that then at least they have played, although in this case they will get money from the promotion they do.

I agree with the fact that accessibility to casinos has increased in recent times and that has given women the chance to gamble at will and with minimum risk of discrimination and that is something that has triggered women's involvement in gambling but mostly women gamble in online casinos and this has made it also hard to be able to know the actual number of women in gambling.

And that leaves us with only the assumption that women's involvement has only increased by perception and not on record since there has not been any model to ascertain that fact.

I understand your point, but it's essential to be cautious when promoting gambling sites, especially if it can influence others, including young audiences. While it's true that gambling is more accessible now through online platforms, we should also consider the potential negative consequences of excessive gambling, regardless of gender. Responsible gambling practices and awareness about its risks are crucial in any context.

Yes you are right, that for the time being this may just be a perception and I haven't seen any records or statistics on how the number of female users is increasing or not. And also it is based on some casinos still do not ask for identity, so it cannot be ascertained for sure whether female users are increasing or tending to decrease, because they are still anonymous if they play on sites that still do not apply KYC.
And of course the growth in each country will be different. But I still feel that the number of male users is increasing.

Yes, they should also consider the country they live in, because not all countries have legalized gambling, even in some countries they still strictly prohibit gambling. They also have to comply with the regulations in that country, because if it is "promoted" it will be seen by many people, including those who are still not old enough, because again now it is very easy to access it all, and even many small children now have personal cellphones.

Accessibility isnt a problem in the first place because anyone could really be able to enter out the premises or even on online whether you are a man or a woman you could really freely play on gambling as long you do have
the money then you're good to go and able to play all you do like.I dont know if there would be places which do prohibits out on not to allow a specific gender to play or engage into something.
We do know that gender inequality and criticism do still exist as of today and this is why even on other things which arent supposed to be done is really that having that kind of assumption that it was been applied.
In the first place it was never been that excluded because anyone could really be able to gamble. Being lucky? Being capable? There's no such thing about that because whatever
your gender is then doing gambling activity isnt really that totally technical or hard on doing so.

[Aanuoluwatofunmi]

Let's be real in discussing the actual matter here, someone like me cannot allow my sister to be a gambler, i have so many reasons to use as evidence in avoiding her for doing such because in my own place where i live, it's not common seing women into gambling and the men that does it were seen as jobless fellows, if women should engage in gambling then maybe through their personal phone and not going to the public casinos for gambling, it's not about the culture here, but being mannered and courtesy.

Caution really needs to be done in promoting gambling because if there are people who do not understand their responsibilities in managing gambling it will have a dangerous impact, for sure that person will go crazy in gambling, that is an important point that needs to be considered as we want to promote it to both women or man it is the same thing.

Let's be real in discussing the actual matter here, someone like me cannot allow my sister to be a gambler, i have so many reasons to use as evidence in avoiding her for doing such because in my own place where i live, it's not common seing women into gambling and the men that does it were seen as jobless fellows, if women should engage in gambling then maybe through their personal phone and not going to the public casinos for gambling, it's not about the culture here, but being mannered and courtesy.

I am also like that friend, I don't like it when my sister does gambling because I know very well if a woman enters gambling then finds herself addicted it will have a more severe impact on her development, I also as a man feel the bad position where I am that phase of addiction gave him such a crazy urge to gamble, what I feared was that he would sell himself out to fulfill his gambling craving.

Let me give you this simple example,  take it as if your sister bought an American lottery ticket that gives her relocation and works overseas and the chance to relocate with dependence,  if you find yourself in that situation will you still blame or kick against your sister from gambling or not.

I think it is better that regardless of what the reality is,  there shouldn't be discrimination in terms of gender in anything that involves risk or luck like gambling.

In this version of the world we live in today, it is money that rules the world, most, if not actually all influencers no longer care about the potential harm that promoting gambling sites to especially still too young to gamble followers will do to such followers, most especially in our societies today that even teenagers are now using smart phones, you find a child of 10 years or even lesser now own a smart phone and the parents not even caring to monitor what the child does with the phone in the private..

Most influencers only care about the money they get paid by the casino to promote them , and not like its the duty of the influencers to install morals into underaged gamblers when the parents of this set of individuals have failed to do so, but then, it is commonly said that a child never belongs to one person, so their contributions, no matter how insignificant, still is significant, but unfortunately, like I've said before, many of them just are after money.

Wiwo you've made a very good example and I believe that in that situation 80% of guys if not 100 especially those living in an uncivilized society would see that as an opportunity to relocate to a better place and would even forget that they were  even against their sister when she wanted buying the lottery. One thing I noticed from your suggestion is that people would always be in support of something when it beneficial to them. But kick against it when they think it's of no gain to them.

 Regardless of different peoples culture or traditions that doesn't permit women to involve in certain things they feel is in proper or ill mannered due to their gender. I believe in gender equality and I also think that every has a right to their choice and shouldn't be discriminated even if it involves risk taking or not, well all thanks to technology that has made it possible for women to gamble online at the comfort of their home without being abused or discriminated

Gender discrimination have been a major set back to societal development and involvement and women have been at the receiving end of all this unlike their male counterparts who are given a free hand to do whatever they feel like with less discrimination,  if women are allowed into those events that there are strict on,  they will do more exploit than the men since they are more careful and take less risk.

In fact,  it will be difficult to see a woman becoming an addict at any point since they always take less risk and tend to give up or set a limit to their involvement in gambling.

Lesser in terms of numbers and percentage compared with the man counterpart, that discrimination even there are places who already not practising that kind of cultures are still present up to this date, we will see lesser woman inside gambling and even online the numbers are still less, as they have many things in life that they focusing or prioritizing, unless they got hook up and the addiction already inside them the chance that we will see a woman to keep being inside the gambling/casino is very possible.

[Betwrong]

What religion?
What societies?

I don't know where you are from but in some parts of the world, women who gamble are seen as sinners and men, there, can' accept that a woman has the right to gamble and there is nothing wrong about it. I'm not talking about developing countries because in some developed countries men also think the same way. They can't accept the fact that a woman can afford to gamble and assume her responsibility when she loses.

Those are prejudices against women, and, truth to be told, modern educated women don't deserve such an attitude. In fact, some statistics show a completely different picture. This is how it is in the United States:

"Only 2.9 percent of women were found to be problem gamblers, compared to 4.2 percent of men. "
Source: https://fherehab.com/learning/gambling-addiction-men-women/

Probably in other countries it's the other way round, and the data compensate each other, and overall, I think, there's no difference between men and women in regards to gambling.

I also think it makes a no difference. There are only small differences in the perception of the game.Still, men more often than women place huge bets, after which you can lose everything or win a lot. Women prefer not to bet so much, the process itself and getting pleasure are important for them. Probably because their main task is not to win, but to have a good time, to get away from life's problems.

And that's an excellent approach to gambling. That's how it should be: for entertainment purposes. If all gamblers were like this, we wouldn't have such a term as "gambling addict" or "problem gambler".

Most women, same as most men, can gamble responsibly, and the notion that a woman can't  "assume her responsibility when she loses" is bs.

All I know is, a gambling addict is a gambling addict, either male or female, you will probably have problem if you have a wife or a husband who is into gambling, because how will you tell if they are responsible with gambling in their lives?

Most men that are into gambling hide this from their wives because if things go wrong financially they will think it's because you are cursed due to your gambling activities, maybe that's where all your money is going? This is why most men keep it as secret.

I know someone who gambles a lot in secret and everything leaked out after he got married, this happened when the man lost his job, she was not complaining about gambling when the man was getting his salary per month, until no more money was coming in, it's true that most men are into gambling than women but pray that you don't have an addict as a wife or husband.

It's just like an example from my neighborhood. The guy lied to his girlfriend, and it continued even after they got married and had a few kids (I'm surprised she didn't see the warning signs, but maybe there's some truth to the "love is blind" thing). But anyway, the whole thing fell apart when his debts piled up so much that various shady characters started coming to their home and threatening his family. They have now separated, the children live with their mother, and they are still arguing in court about the division of property. It could have easily resulted in the wife and children becoming homeless, turning this into a very tragic story. Fortunately, her parents and the local community stepped in and provided her with a safe place to stay and all the help and support she needed.

It's so saddening to hear stories such as this really happen because of lack of discipline and irresponsibility combined. It's really important to acknowledge the red flags early on to prevent bad things from happening. Unfortunately though, most people mistake red flags as some sort of challenge when it's not. It's a warning sign that you must acknowledge to run as fast as you can to avoid having miserable life afterwards. But I guess some people have a hard time leaving because of trauma bonding or thinking they can change their partners when they can't. At all.

Nonetheless, it's good to hear that your community and the parents she have were all supportive and can be relied on. In times like this, intervention is really necessary. Hopefully she gets the right division of the properties as soon as she can and be able to receive child support for their children since kids are growing and so are their needs. It isn't easy to raise a child alone. I hope this time the husband will man up and do his responsibility instead of prioritizing his vices.

All I know is, a gambling addict is a gambling addict, either male or female, you will probably have problem if you have a wife or a husband who is into gambling, because how will you tell if they are responsible with gambling in their lives?

Most men that are into gambling hide this from their wives because if things go wrong financially they will think it's because you are cursed due to your gambling activities, maybe that's where all your money is going? This is why most men keep it as secret.

I know someone who gambles a lot in secret and everything leaked out after he got married, this happened when the man lost his job, she was not complaining about gambling when the man was getting his salary per month, until no more money was coming in, it's true that most men are into gambling than women but pray that you don't have an addict as a wife or husband.

As long as you can gamble responsibly, that's fine because everything will be fine, and you won't exceed the limit. But the problem is that many people end up being tempted to over-gamer and think that it's okay to over-gamble occasionally. That makes them addicted later, especially if, in reality, they can win a lot of money, so they think that gambling excessively sometimes can give them more wins. But when the opposite happens, where they will only suffer a big loss, they realize it too late because they have become addicted to gambling.

And yes, it's better for us to reduce our gambling activities to avoid interfering with our family's monthly expenses. And also so that we can prevent ourselves from experiencing gambling addiction because if we are addicted to gambling, it will only bring us bigger problems.
