The shocking rate of women interested in gambling.

[Princess Leah]

 After a thorough research, I've come to understand that the history of gambling could be traced far back to the ancient Chinese and was mostly practiced by men cause by then it didn't seem right for women to be involved in such act, Well it wasn't illegal for women but there where more men participating in casinos than women, but change they say is constant and as time passed, women gradually began to participate in the act and I think in the 19th if I'm not mistaken more women began to participate in it and by then a woman called Alice Iver Tubbs, also known as (Poker Alice) became a professional in gambling, history have it that she was very good with poker which led to the name Poker Alice.

 However in recent times we're beginning to see more gamblers who are woman emerge and though they're not yet equal to the amount of male gambler, a good amount of women globally have began to pick interest in it, since it's now being socialized, to back that up, I know some of my friends that participate in gambling and even play slot games as well as staking of the UEFA Champions League games, I know a friend who also love to stake on Al-Nassr cause her favourite football celebrity Ronaldo plays for the team. lol I won't also deny that she's gradually luring me into sports betting as well.

 Also the rate at which women are now picking interes in gambling is so alarming, there are a good number of female punters on the media with good fanbase and they give good betting advice, we all know that gambling does guarantee 100% success but if you follow their predictions you could get atleast 60 to 70% chances of winning the bet. That's to tell you how well women are now involving in gambling and as time passes there's a tendency for more women to indulge in it as well, since the social media have made gambling more popular and the fact that it involves sporting activities makes that more possible.

Yeah, women gamblers are increasing in number due to online casinos but I don't think they can even compete with the number of male gamblers. I don't think that even 1/4th of gamblers are women so I guess male gamblers will always be more in number because women aren't much interested in gambling as males and they really don't want to win and earn, they can easily take whatever they want by controlling their own husbands and boyfriends.

Well. Since you are talking about women who gamble in a modern context, then it makes come sense many of them resort to social media to become gambler influencers or share their sport analysis. One does not think too much about why women could easily be successful within the ecosystem of gambling, actually. Most of people involved in gambling are men, if the woman who is involved in gambling as a good presence and attitude, she could easily catch the attention of those men and make them become loyal follower of her social media accounts. Specially in this era when women have more freedom to participate in all kinds of activities, like gambling, sports, working in previously men dominant jobs, etc.
Though, for now most women who wish to become influencers opt for doing the usual and share makeup tips, recipes, for become Twitch gamers, I have not yet stumbled with any girl or woman who actively shared her experiences or advices for gamblers on the internet, who knows. They may be still less than the 5% of people who influence in this ecosystem.

Even talking about having 1/20 or 1/30 on which i could say that this isnt something that cant be known since there would really be having no global count or something.
For physical casinos then it might be possible that there would be some sort of counter but knowing on online world or even just talking with traditional payment system or fiat online casinos then it would really be hard to determine unless if they are basing with the card names that being used but speaking about crypto gambling then there's no way that we could be able to tell about those exact numbers but i do
agree into your point that it would never be happening that women would be able to beat up the number of males that deal up with gambling.

Women cant really just that be able to bare up the risks of losing so much money in gambling. For shopping then it might be but for gambling?It is really just that impossible.
This is why those numbers arent shocking imho...

Gambling has been used for socializing in recent times, and I guess that also adds up to the reason as to why women are drawn into gambling. Furthermore, it has been normalized in a lot of countries that it's no longer a taboo anymore. I see lots of girl streamers who play casinos and other gambling games online, and the men viewers don't even flinch or dare teach them what's right or wrong. I don't see it as alarming as long as they have the money to back up their activities and not get addicted with it. At the least, there's no longer a clear divide between men and women on this.

Same thoughts, That's why there are more and more women who are interested in gambling, especially in online gambling apps because the advertisements that appear through online social media platforms attract attention and are very promising.
The number of men who gamble is actually more because they are the experts and pioneers when it comes to gambling, it seems to be the nature of men to learn quickly and get better when it comes to gambling but this is just my opinion based on what I see personally especially in our place.

Even the sudden rush of women into the field is as of a result of the activeness of the female genders in different field and that includes also the gambling industry and besides the world is now too open that women are kept on the side bench on some particular events and that also includes gambling and I believe the social media and the evolving world aslo had a great impact on this  because their mentality can easily change when they see other female doing it and also the impact stories of how it is beneficial too can change their thoughts.

What is surprising about women getting involved in gambling activities?  They are also human and they had been interested in gambling since ancient time but due to their status being under man's league, they are given less attention.  As a matter of fact ancient Rome even give a special day for women to gamble but they are not allowed in regular days.

Of course, only men were allowed to gamble. However, women were allowed to play during the Bona Dea festival.

Women actions are limited during the ancient days since they are prohibited either by the state or the head of the family to engage in gambling activities.  In the current era, women are free to do and engage in gambling activities so as I stated, it wasn't a surprise at all if we saw the statistics of women engaging in gambling balloon.

I believe this depends on several cultural factors.
In my country, women who bet in a sportbook or in a gambling house are really rare. I have never seen a women place a bet in a "live corner" ...Those who do it just for "fun" maybe with friend and sporadically.

Different however with people who buy "scratch cards". instead it becomes a discussion of "gender equality" there is practically the same interest between men and women.

[alani123]

What a clickbaity title.
See, the rate at which women participate in gambling is still substantially lower than men.
Match pickers aren't actually an example of female participation in gsmbling. Of such a person is a woman, it's just indication of taking advantage of men's urges. As with any media operation, a match picker online would have other people supporting him or her, both men and also women, but since it has to do with sports probably mostly men. So we need better indications if we are to claim that the participation of women in gambling is increasing.

[Juse14]

Yes, currently women's participation in the world of gambling continues to increase, if in the past there were women who came to casinos as workers and waitresses, but not now, where some of them come to casinos as gamblers. But this is no longer a taboo phenomenon, especially when talking about online gambling, which is very easy for anyone to access, including women.

With the principle of gender equality, this encourages more and more women to become financially independent, without having to depend on their partners, so that they are able to do whatever they want, whether it's shopping, traveling or even gambling. and other things that are pushing to increase women's participation in the world of gambling, including the normalization of culture and offers from the gambling industry itself which targets its promotions to attract female players.

[JeromeTash]

They are also human, aren't they?

Things have now changed with movements like "woman emancipation" where it's now normal for women to participate in certain activities that were considered a taboo for them in the old centuries. Women are also out there trying to look for money from different avenues to make ends meet, unlike the old days when bread winning was solely for men in most societies. So I am not surprised if there is an increasing trend of female gamblers.

You do know that whenever women do tends to engage into those male-dominant  ventures or activities then they would really be having those same shared up idea
that they would really be looking down on women too much and believing that they cant do on what man can do. Well, this has turned out to be a typical stuff. It is really just that
there are people who are really that too highly reacting on the time that they do know about women engagement on which its true that there's nothing wrong with that.
Then what if they have gambled out? Its none of our business if they do gamble since they are really that free on doing so.

[swogerino]

Interesting title of the post,it was well discussed sometime ago here by some other person and I don't find it shocking at all.I have my own idea that they are extremely lower in number compared to male gamblers and let me make you a measurement that I use,I see people in a stadium of a big football game,the same percentage of persons there who are women is for me the same percentage of women who may be start like gambling,they are the football fans in the beginning.

I hope this number keeps decreasing as if it increases it may bring fatal consequences to our society in general as normally the woman as they say is the pillar of a family (not providing,but keeping it running smooth and educating the children).

[Yogee]

The consumer base consists mostly of women from the West right? So it shouldn't be shocking if their money or their man's money also flows into gambling. There are still places where it's predominantly done by men but it's only a matter of time before women catches up. The ease of access to gambling platforms mixed with the f movement makes that possible.

[Bitcoin Smith]

I don't see anything weird about women entering into something that were only practiced by men and this is the evolution and we are in the modern era and equality is what they seek and let them be independent and moreover, we are gambling in the online where we don't know the gender of the player, and it's irrelevant too.

But the part you mentioned luring others to betting as well which is wrong, and it looks like they have been brainwashed by the so-called influencers which they were paid by brands and those who give advice most of the time spread false information or not being 100% transparent.

[bitzizzix]

Maybe because online gambling continues to be popular and interesting, because many women often see online gambling everywhere, which makes them curious and do it. And another reason is because of the ease and accessibility provided by online gambling which makes many women interested and involved.
And it is likely that women who enjoy offline casinos will turn to online gambling, with the ability to gamble from their comfort and be able to play in the comfort of their own home, women can escape the potentially intimidating atmosphere of casinos.
And in my opinion, women's games are neater and smarter and women will not take big risks to win or get back lost money, because they play for fun and express emotions. Because I also have several female friends who like to play online gambling.

[Iroh]

It’s not alarming. Not even surprising to see women participating more in what would have been classified decades ago as a man dominated activity. Your topic head certainly has an alarming tone to it but when going through the topic, I failed to see just how alarmed you are to see women now doing what they want.

You’ve noticed the gradual increase in numbers over the years so it shouldn’t be alarming as it’s barely a new thing; really. Also, with society gradually changing over the years, women are not subjected to the background anymore and are free to indulge in and enjoy any activity they fancy. Little to no societal stigma and no expectations expected from anyone anymore on how to behave.

The high rate of women into gambling is actually not new to us since social media makes it highly possible to happen. The fact that you can sit on your own chair at the comfort of your home is already an advantage for women to explore gambling. But here is the fact, female gamblers are most likely gambling for fun and they prefer to play low-risk games so they can relax and unwind, unlike majority of men who are actually gambling to earn a living and mostly prefer to play high-risk games that promise massive amount of profits.

Now that women can easily play slots on their smart phones, it’s highly expected that their rate as female gamblers will get even higher. But it can never outnumbered the big population of men who are into gambling.

[famososMuertos]

Those who stream more, men or women, without a doubt that this figure is divided by gambling, then, there are more men, but women are present.

Hey!, it is 21st century, we are open to everything...and, they are not left out. Right?

This topic has been raised here before, by the way, there are more women in Casino for traditional games than in poker, consequently, in sports betting they have also grown in participation.
