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.

Okay, it can also be related to the responsibility (not gambling) but being responsible for their children, also to his husband because it's the wife's role to prepare everything for his husband because his husband is busy working. In the modern era today, what is happening is the women are now the ones that work.

In a third world country, women usually go abroad to work for their family because the pay is not sufficient on their own country while the husband are left home to take care of their kids. Crypto makes online gambling more popular and easy to access. Husband or wife can now look for their kids while playing gambling at the same time. There must be an exemption for this.

I think this question should be analyzed as follows:

1 - What happens when a man becomes addicted to gambling? he starts selling everything he has, starts stealing and even killing to have money to support his gambling addiction

2 - What happens if a woman becomes addicted to gambling? she will start selling her body to support the gambling addiction, and this is the point that makes society afraid of women being in gambling.

Of course, there's nothing wrong with women being gambling, but as long as they moderate, men have rehab clinics to help them overcome addiction, they can cure it. but what about women? they can also go to a rehabilitation clinic and cure, but they won't cure the fact that they went to prostitution to support the addiction

Do you think woman only had her body to sell for gambling addiction,why the woman can’t get money by stealing or killing.Woman are equal to man now,but only few people with conservative thoughts.Only few woman using their body to ear money,but how you accused all the woman in common mate!! And woman can help their men from addiction and make them to play.

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?

-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.

-A man who is known to be a gambler may still be considered for marriage by a woman, but if a woman is known to be compulsive gambler before marriage, most men will run from them or not even get close enough to consider them for marriage.

Why the bias? should gambling be only for Men?

I think that over time this situation may change in favor of women. That is, women players will no longer be prejudiced. There were times when women were not allowed to study at universities, wear trousers and the like. Look around, this is a thing of the past. The same is expected in the gambling section. There will come a time when a female player will no longer be perceived as something strange, but will be the norm.

How come we've come into a point that women arent allowed to play gambling? Yes, there might be some situations but not most of the time they are really that been underestimated or being judged just because
usually men are the ones who do play gambling.I cant really blame out men though since women should not really be involving into something like this but since we do have the freedom on spending our
money anywhere and anything we do like then so be it.Just let them be on how they would really be spending it since its not ours in the first place.

Traditional way of thinking. It's difficult to be undone, that's why women are fighting for their rights.
It's the gift of sight that fools us and the way women are treated way before we are even born.
I am optimistic that it's changing slowly just like how women are looked at now when they are drinking outside. We just don't care anymore or it is not displeasing to the eyes of the public in this era. I have a lot of women colleagues and I always invite them whenever we drink, it's fun to have different opinions from both gender and our LGBTQ+ friends.

This is the effect of women empowerment but some societies still have women not doing any of those , just to stay back home and not do anything or get education. In India and some other Asian countries, it is still like that. Women gambling is something new, gambling has been a field of men. Men are risk takers because they need to take care of the home, extended families etc.

Gambling has to do with risk and most of those who have the risk appetite are the male forks who constantly look out for available risks that can earn good returns, but women on the other hand are fewer risk-takers compared to males.

The funny thing about women is that they don't like to take risk as you suggested and same time they don't like to put their money were they are not sure of, that is why many of women don't like Gamble, what comes to their mind always is to have the physical cash instead of putting it were it brings another, the nature teach women on how not to invest

It's not about gender or opinion. In fact, men are dominant in the family (a father or son) to work but are not good financial managers for household needs. So, when a man gets a monthly allowance, they tend to spend it for their own pleasure. Gambling is just one of their pleasure goals.

You can't compare female gender together with male gender in terms of gambling, female don't have the time of gambling because they received support of financial empowerment mostly from male, so female out of hundred percent is only ten percent you see participating in gamble

What is this nonsense? You may have many such acquaintances, but it is insulting to transfer this to all men. For example, I have a family and first of all I spend money (and other) resources on it and only lastly for my own pleasure. And if I have some critical problems with money (thank God this has not happened yet), then I can easily refuse unnecessary expenses (for pleasures) than I will limit my family in some way.

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.

agree with what you are saying, that the number of women who like sports betting is very small, but for slots, card game or dice, the number is quite a lot and it has been proven. In my environment, there are almost no women who like sports betting, but there are many women who play slots and some are even young.

Well this is not really true tho, on the forum you will certainly find a lot of girls and when they say that it's just coming from year old racism and therefore you should not be so bothered about it as well. When you see such kind of people just ignore them since their thinking cannot be changed and the most you can do is avoid the racists.
Even most cultures and religions only talk about the gambling being the problem of the male population.

Testosterone does give you higher energy and also make you more likely to gamble on your emotions but at the same time female gamblers are more static and they are very agile with these things. Therefore are more likely to have profits along the way.

Reading your post I just realized that gambling "might" be restricted on women especially when they are gambling in physical casinos.
But there's nobody to judge them when they are doing it online. Only the people in their family will be there who might know that the lady is gambling.
So may be the growth of online casinos is not that bad after all since it is providing equal opportunity to male as well as females.

That's true nobody knows you are playing in online casinos it's much safer for women to play online and online casinos never discriminate we never read anywhere in the TOS that they only allow men, they just don't allow kids or underage to play, on physical casinos they may be discrimination but never in online casinos we have equality in online casinos, even if the player is located where they arestrict restrictions to women who are in gambling.

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.

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.

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..

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.
