Is Gambling Gender Based?

[Makus]

Gambling isn't gender based, it doesn't really meant for a particular gender to involve in but it is more common with men and less engaged by women. A lot of women avoid it because they don't want to get judged for gambling. There is nothing wrong if females gamble as long as they are doing it responsibly then it's nothing of any concern. The only reason why people don't accept women gambling to be a norm us because they are not capable of controlling their emotions and this can lead to serious addiction issues.

[Pikiboy]

Gambling is not all about gender based, gambling is mainly for everyone and no gender limitation in gambling because gambling is opened for everybody to make money but i must say most women doesn't have enough timing for gambling
Secondly majority of women cannot withstand the chances and pains of losing there finance in the name of gambling,these gender called women are emotional in nature this the reason why your see few female gamblers on like men.

[Akuma_]

Nope gambling isn't gender based. It depends on you. If you fill free to do it you can do gambling. There is no specific gender divided here. I saw many men women to do gambling and they regular gamble physically and others online platform. That's the reason everyone can do gambling only depends on their mind set.

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?

I feel like most women dont usually gamble and its more of a men thing but there are certainly women who gamble, I feel like in most cases these women gamble with their husbands or boyfriends who like gambling. When is the last time you saw a woman alone in a casino gambling? I feel like its honestly not smart for a woman to gamble alone because number 1 women shouldn't really go places alone especially at night and 2 I feel like most women probably don't feel fairly secure when they gamble on their own anyways, especially in a predominately male dominated hobby.

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.

I agree that the number of women who play is much lower than the number of men , but as for the idea that men are more responsible than women , why do you say that? A woman can be just as Responsible, or even more so, than a man I don't see what you mean by that, but a woman is very capable of having responsibilities.

All I can say is that men are dominating all over the world when it comes to Gambling. Although gambling is not meant to be gender based. But however the rate at which men are more than women in gambling makes it look thus like gambling is gender based. So indirectly it has turned to a gender base game because truely en are more than women. I can't tell a particular gambling site that women are more involved than men. Men are always ahead in every gambling site. I see that as the hustling spirit in men are the reason for that.

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.

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.

I agree. And this is also an important factor. Because in addition to legitimate rights and freedoms, there are traditions in society that define the roles of women and men. In the modern world, many things are promoted that destroy traditions, but this is done intentionally to destroy the institution of the family. Fortunately, it's not so easy to destroy traditions, so in fact, we see that there are fewer female players than men.

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.

That's understandable. What matters is not who has what rights, but what actually happens. In fact, the main audience in gambling is men. Women are not forbidden to play. Men are more risky than women. This cannot be changed by any granted rights. Women play less not because they are forbidden, but because they do not want to. In addition, established women look at games as an immature activity, a "prolonged childhood," so they often disapprove if their husband plays.

There's one thing most women normally say all the time which is "what a man can do a woman can do it more better" it seems like you have not had it before. However, the world we are now it's not like before because if our kids that are not up to the age of gambling are venturing into the game without their parents noticing what they are doing due to the fact that there are many ways to make a bet online. So gambling it's not a gender based because each and everyone else is absolutely free to gamble as much as they want because it's a game of fun which is the things that keeps us going to the game, even in the football industry there's also a women's league going on which they are also doing the same thing with the men.

[Inior]

Naturally there are things that doesn't look good on the female gender and gamble happens to be one of them. In my country, female barely gamble yet we still have few who would still get involved with gambling. There was a time here on this board where a thread was created in regards to a mother who brought underage children into a gambling hall to place her bet. Things like that doesn't look good as those children are getting pretty exposed to gambling even though they might not know what's going on at that point in time yet in the future they might likely get early to gamble because of that experience.

There's an equality in terms of gambling, so there is no need for the gender requirement just to enjoy and get entertain even if you tried to check some of the casino is some of them does not require gender or even offer an option to the user if they prefer not to say. It seems some of the casino just wanted to know the gender for their data and statistics which is identify which one is their most players for their future marketing strategy. Sometimes people say that woman is more logical thinker but it seems just the same its all about the capabilities of the person to understand and dominate their game.

[xiamin]

Are there some gambling games that are more engaged by men than women?

In most places, there are more male gamblers than female gamblers. In the casinos I have been to I have seen very little female involvement in gambling.

Are there others that are more engaged by women?

I do not believe that there can be more female gamblers in any gambling game because some where are female gamblers but the number is very limited.

I think gambling is not a gender-based game. Women do not have the mentality to spend money for entertainment their mentality is much more protective than men.

Although I noticed there are more men physically involved in gambling than women and this could be as a result of the kind of gambling games they play, women are not really big on football games and some of these games that are highly engaged in gambling as much as the population of men who participate in such games, even the casinos seem to have more number of men than women involved in it which is actually good to my knowledge, because I know for sure if more women were to gamble as much as the men do, you will most likely face the issue of suicides and depression knowing fully well they are deeply rooted in their emotions.

In my opinion, the reason why many women avoid gambling is because they understand money management and realize that gambling is something that can cause them to lose money more certainly than gain profits.

Men tend to gamble more because they only think superficially, and some even place all their hopes on gambling to win.

I believe a better way to explain this is to say that men are more risk takers than women are, women are very fearful when it comes to things that will cause them to engage in any form of risk, this is why we often see some women who manage to place a few bet break down and cry like a baby when they lose the bet as well as the money, the reason for them crying is that at that point they lost that money, they realize other issues in their life they would have used that money to solve.

I've encountered this a couple of times both online and offline, higher percentage of women lack the balls to become hardcore gamblers because they lack the mind for risk taking, this is the only explanation I will believe as to why women are not generally interested in gambling.

You are making sense that most women go to physical casinos with male friends or family members. This might be because of societal bias against women.

But you are forgetting that these days, women don't need to go to physical casinos to enjoy gambling. Online casinos have given them unhindered access to gambling without leaving their homes. Covid19 pandemic made life boring, which increased the number of online gamblers. I am sure some women who gamble today developed interest during the pandemic.

Gambling isn’t strictly gender based but there are patterns. Men probably tend to gamble more often and take bigger risks especially with sports betting and casinos.

Women are more likely to gamble occasionally and prefer games like bingo or lotteries. These differences are influenced more by social norms, marketing and opportunity than by biology. Anyone regardless of gender can develop gambling habits or problems though.

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.

Yes and I strongly believe that the environment is the main factor, women are very sensitive and easily offended which could be one of the reasons why they are stronger in rejecting gambling, regarding the story you told, honestly it is very concerning when someone has the courage to lie or even deceive others just to get money for gambling capital regardless of their gender, although the population of female gamblers seems much less than men but I think it could be that the reality is not like that, many people are good at hiding everything.

I’ve never seen women gamble around me it’s always men who did. However, I know some women who promote gambling platforms on social media because I follow their account. There are lots of people following them because they're promising easy win on gamble, I never try it tho since I don't believe in them. Also when women think about how to fulfill their lifestyle, we think about the pleasure of gambling. In my opinion, women approach gambling differently. If men gamble for pleasure, the women I know promote gambling platforms mainly for the money opportunity through affiliate programs.

Yeah but promoting a casino or a particular gamble type is totally different from engaging in it. Offcourse women are beautiful and their looks are attractive.  Men usually are attracted to fairness and looks of the women used on the promotional material. Hence they go ahead ti like.the.casino.and.play.
Offcourse for any business minded person it is an avenue for more participants and customers so they use the female folks to.promote. but I doubt if these ladies even have a proper knowledge of what is going on in the said casino that they are prompting.

I don't know what country you live in, but having visited every continent except Australia, I have never heard of a “theory” such as “what a man can do, a woman can do better.” I have a big request, and I think everyone will be interested—name a country where such opinions are real?   I am objectively interested in where such statements exist!

After reading what you said about men being more willing to take risks than women, I agree with that.

Because what I think is that some men in my environment tend to have financial problems and they choose gambling in the hope of winning, so it makes sense to say that they are taking risks.

And the point is that gambling is for everyone, it's just that men dominate it.
