Is Gambling Gender Based?

[YOSHIE]

Or
Is Gambling a gender based activity all over the world so the men are dominating  in it?

Yes, we can understand that with the presence of technology, the internet and Android plus fast and easy assets, of course gambling activities include a significant gender-based dimension.

I have seen the gender-based dimensions of men's and women's gambling activities, in fact men are more into the sports betting dimension while women are more into the bingo gambling game dimension, lottery, and scratch cards, although we know men have a high level of gambling activities but men are more towards thrill and competition.

However, women tend to be more serious about gambling activities, most of them come to gamble to calm themselves from stress, financial and emotional.

Gambling is not gender base ooo it’s actually for both ,but our society now makes it look like women who indulge in gambling are irresponsible and it should be for men alone , but I have seen many women who are gamblers and even do better than so men in prediction and in staking high without having double mind , because of the discrimination most women are secretly gambling so the society won’t call them names , but statistics many show men are dominating that is because most women don’t want to be seen or known again .

Yeah, even if it is common mostly among men, it is not still for men only or women only..  Anybody can gamble, anybody can lose, anybody can as well win too..

But society makes it looks like it’s for only Mem, and quickly judge women who does it, that one na fact.. If man gamble they nigh call it risk taking, but If woman do same, they may not see it that way.. Those kind of things makes some women gambler silently..

Still, gambling is not about who knows it more or who has mind pass, it is about control and discipline.. Someone can predict good today, and tomorrow would still loss..

I think it's about the nature of men. Men are not biologically wired like men. There are things women love to do, and there are things men also love to do. Of course, what might be fun for men may not be entertaining for the women folk and vice versa. So I think me are more of risk takers, while women are less of that. It doesn't mean that there are not women who takes risks, nope, they do, but few.

Gambling involves risks and money, men acb go all in wishing for something great or also a loss if it happens l, but I don't think a woman would readily stick out her money in such risk all in the name of betting. They better use the money to make themselves look beautiful by fixing lashes or nails or all there gender stuff, lol. Gambling is not gender base, but the nature of men and women are not just the same, Ans that's why we are not seeing the same energy from the two genders

Gambling is not gender-based but participation is currently male-dominated.

This difference is mostly driven by culture, marketing and game design rather than gender itself. In regions where access and social norms differ, participation levels also change.

You're right, but I don't know why there's this belief that gender plays a role. It's very well said what I wrote to you; it's a clear majority that men dominate There are very few women, but enough of them to gamble. Most women don't gamble because they're afraid of losing money, but once they start to see the point of the game, they gamble without hesitation There shouldn't be any kind of limitation because of that.

The number of women gamblers is very small, a woman can never be as responsible as a man, compared to the way a man can accept his losses and handle himself. Everyone can gamble, but the biggest challenge is to maintain self-control, and the ability of a man and a woman to be able to do this and maintain a full mindset is different. And this is why the number of female gamblers is very small, there can be about 90% men and 10% women among gamblers.

Gambling is for everyone and does not discriminate based on gender, but yes, I also realize that more men are involved in gambling than women. I don't really know the reason for this, but it seems to be because men socialize much more freely than women, so more men are involved in gambling than women.
Additionally, social media could also be a contributing factor, but I believe that environment is one of the most influential factors. I was introduced to gambling by just one friend, and now almost all of my male friends are involved in gambling.

I also notice in my circle that far more men gamble than women, but perhaps women hide it better because they fear social judgment. However, I recently heard a story of a woman looking for money to bet and even making up a story about her mother being ill and urgently needing money for her treatment. After this, her friends were willing to lend her the money she was losing. I'm saying that, in my experience, fewer women gamble, but that doesn't mean they can't, in the heat of the moment, commit serious deceptions to give themselves another shot at winning.

It's true that the population of male gamblers is much more than females but lately I think more female are currently flocking the gambling sector and it's all thanks to online casinos and sports booking, people can now gamble with their device at their comfort zone, without being stigmatised by their fellow religious members or so, online gambling now offer privacy which has mafe more women to pick interest in it, well I think it's currently beyond 10% maybe 20 - 30%.

In my opinion, I don’t think gambling is gender based. Obviously, there isn’t a website, app, or even local area that says "only for men" if someone wants to place a bet.

The ladies are not just moved by these things, or rather most of them aren't. Sometimes it's not because they don’t want to try it. Using football gambling as an example. most ladies gamble less because they don’t watch or play football, or don’t really understand how it works. Men enjoy football and even play it, that’s why they have the courage to bet and win.

On Wednesday, during the Champions League, my sister decided to gamble. She asked me if I should help her out, and I did. If I wasn’t there, maybe she wouldn’t have gambled, not because she didn’t want to, but because she would be afraid of losing. Not because she doesn’t have the funds, but because she doesn’t have the mindset of how football works. And that’s my point.

In some parts of the world there are somethings are absurd for women to do. And they men dominates in those areas and activities, Even in businesses.  While in other places and countries both genders are involved in any work and activities as they see it as normal.
Looking at our society recently and it is very common to see men and boys who gamble all the time and every where. It seems it rare to see women all the time engage in gambling even though a few of them do.

 Are there some gambling games that are more engaged by men than women?
Are there others that are more engaged by women? Or
Is Gambling a gender based activity all over the world so the men are dominating  in it?

Gender division is usually found in archaic communities where “medieval traditions” are still strong, where women are assigned a secondary role, or in communities where religious patriarchy reigns supreme.
Yes, in some countries women's opportunities are limited, and “traditions” prevent them from living a full life. But here's a simple question: apart from physiology, how do women differ from men? To clarify, what differences “prevent” women from doing the same things that men do?
In my country, I know women who are owners of large businesses, top managers, marketers, programmers, artists, poets, politicians, military personnel, crypto geeks, etc. The question is: why should gambling have any kind of gender separation?

The other user made some very valid point which I believe to be absolutely true, women are known to get very emotional over little things that fail to turn out the way they had expected it to turn out, this makes gambling not absolutely suitable for women to participate in but unfortunately, women today get involved in gambling but still, i do not think that the number to women gamblers around the world are up to 30% when compared to the number of male gamblers around the world.

Well, I do not know how women in other countries see and treat gambling, but based on how much I see women gamble here in my country, women gamblers aren't up to 30% compared to male gamblers, though I perfectly understand with online gambling now present, some women will be gambling secretly, but if what we are talking about is women who are known as gamblers physically, they aren't up to 30% compared to their male counterparts.

Gambling is mainly for men. There are exceptions, but nothing more. This also applies to games in general, including computer games. The majority of the players are men. Of course, there are some specific games where there is a large female audience, but this again refers to the exceptions, not the rule. But shopping and wasting money are dominated by women. They make up the lion's share of buyers, including online, on marketplaces, etc. So both sexes are equally good at squandering money.

We are now more exposed as a society to be stuck on the idea that gambling is mainly for a specific gender, all that matters is gambling reasonably and not getting addicted to it. Most people believe that females shouldn't be gambling because they are incapable of controlling their emotions but even men also deal with this as well. This has been something that we've grown to believe overtime.

It's an interesting topic for some and there are gamblers that wouldn't really care about this. But we get the idea of why some designs of the slots have the model in the image to attract users. And the same goes with the games that have the dealers to be women and have those sexy outfits. So, it is no doubt that the gambling industry and its games are men dominated. Yet, it won't stop the women to gamble as well because it's not about whether it's only for male but for as long as they understand how a game works and they know how to control their emotions.

[Asuspawer09]

No, but probably because they are designing gambling for men to gamble because men are just more vulnerable when to comes to gambling they have a huge ego thinking that they can do it something like that or they can win, like they just hate losing and they are going to make a way out of it often leading to a huge lose most of the time, advertisement are also designs to encourage men, even the huge commercials are usually using men models and not really women, men just feel more responsible when it comes to financial in the family, they always wanted a fast or quick money scheme where they can earn quickly most often go with gambling addictions.

I guess women are just going to be responsible gamblers. If I'm going to think about it, they are going to do it the right way, probably have a very low risk apetite do not go all out, and just straight up start quitting when they think that they are already losing. Gambling advertisement for sure know there target market. This wasn't gender based, they just know their market.

[silpersurfer]

Gambling fundamentally does not discriminate against gender͏. Both genders have equal opportunities and access to participate. Since in most societies, it is the male who prefers gambling, the general notion has developed that this activity belongs to the worlds of men or even was created as entertainment only for men.

In fact, such differences are more influenced by social, cultural, and customary factors. Certain norms or stigmas often restrain women, thus not allowing their participation in gambling to be seen as overt, even though some do participate. Therefore, it cannot be said that the game of gambling is an inherently gendered activity that makes men dominate it since its interests vary from one environment to another and through different levels of social acceptance.

I've never heard of it or seen it. There's no gender here, and everyone is equal. Even if someone suggests it, it's better to reject it because it's complicated, in my opinion, and of course, more men gamble than women.

There are no definitive statistics, unless casino representatives publicly share their data about their customers, regarding the games played by women and men. So don't get your hopes up here; it's just a personal assumption based on the average response.

But are there any rules to why gambling is for men and not for women or it is just a believe system? I still think this is just a feeling of what people would really say?
Imagine your wife coming out of a.gambliing bet hall ? Im sure it is the husband people would inst
Insult and not the women herself. This in a way will being Shame to the man to say he is not able to meet her needs hence the reason why the wife has gone to gamble.

majority of gamblers are men does not mean that gambling is mainly for men,

Any one can gamble as long as you are above 18 years, there is no gambling website or casino where they wrote "men only" the only thing you will see is "18+" so it is as simple as that.

Any one can gamble both male and female.

Gambling does not correlate with gender, it is a behavioural issue. A woman can be more composed while maintaining discipline over a man, so being a man or a woman has nothing to do with the reason why we gamble. On the contrary, many also believe a woman will do better in gambling, because they are very good at calculating risk, due to the economic knowledge they have in managing household finances.

Basically, gambling can be done by any gender, including women. From what I have seen around me, it is true that most gamblers are men, but that doesn't mean women don't exist; it is just that there aren't more female gamblers than male gamblers. There is a term in finance called "Risk Averse", which refers to a person tendency to avoid risk, and maybe most women have this attitude. So, I think we see more men gambling, because they are more willing to take greater risks to gain profits, and that is called being a risk taker. Well, this is just my personal assumption; there is no strong supporting reference, or data for it. Cmiiw.

We have more women than men in the world. Some of these women like to gamble or are involved in so many activities, which they just like to keep to themselves or among their gender; it is not something they just boast of like we guys do.

The reason is because I have seen a place where some of our guys were somehow discriminating against girls who are involved in gambling with words like "they are too exposed" or "they can't take care of family" or anything they can use to justify their claims, and I believe some of these girls get this a lot, and it could contribute to why they barely show up.

Being a vibrant young man, growing it was that difficult to figure out a woman engaging in gambling, and it was that rare that you as a woman even get talked down by your fellow women for trying to have interest to gamble. It was the ideology of the time. But currently nobody cares neither bother about having a woman standing next to them or playing against them in PvP gameplay. Any man discriminating a woman who's gambling at this era has a sexist problem.
