-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?

Unfortunately this is normal all around the world. People see women as stable protectors of home and bearer of children, which is why people often criticize women for things men do on daily basis. As an example I'll give you a man who often changes women and every week goes out with someone else is seen as someone popular, who knows how to pick up girls, a hustler. A woman doing the same thing will be called a slut. People will speculate that she's probably getting paid for it and so on. That's why a woman gambler will always be criticized more than a man.

I'm not aware about this issue in my area, because as far as I know every gamblers are treated in the same way, doesn't matter their gender. I know respectful ladies who are casual gamblers and nobody overlook them for this reason. Quite the opposite, people in gambling industry are even more attentive and kind to these gamblers ladies.

To say the truth, what really matters in society is if people have money to spend. When they have, they are respected, when they don't have they are put in second plan.

This is one valid point - you live in the society where people welcome other choices and decision. In out society this is not much appreciated. Gambling is forbidden in our region and culture. So if bride or groom are labelled as gambler. That's a big stain on their personality and family. Mostly those who gamble in our society do it secretly.

Gender bias has been existing ever since the age of time. It's not only in gambling that there's gender bias and there's women degrading with anything that they're involved with.
It's still there but for some countries and places, there's already the equality for both males and females. That's why those places that have been open with it are no longer experiencing this bias. But the sad truth is that there are still a lot of countries that do think of what you've stated OP.
It can't be gone too quick especially if the people there have been stick to that tradition and belief that females that do gamble shall be avoided and they have a different view on them.

Because in most countries, females are preferred to be stay-at-home moms.
They are expected to do household chores and take care of the kids.
So if they see that the woman is in casinos or any gambling establishments, they are assuming that she can't hold those responsibilities.
But using online casinos, there will be no gender bias here, that's one benefit of online.
They won't ask you if you are female or not, you can play just like others, and no one knows you're playing unless, you will disclose it to your friends or colleagues.

Yes, that's the tradition that will always be there even though in the modern world today, we men are just equal with women these days. Whatever we do, they can do it also.
What you've said is true about not knowing about the gender in online casinos, unless they start asking for information about you and ask for KYC then that will be the time that the casino will start to know the gender of their customer. But, there's no bias on it as they see everyone as customers.

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?

Personally this is not something that I have seen, back then when I used to play at regular casinos most of the gamblers were men, but this does not necessarily mean that there were more men that gambled as I realized that many women gambled and preferred games that were not offered at the casinos, now I have seen some people reject romantic propositions because the other party was a gambler, but it had nothing to do with their gender and more with their moral principles, so it would be interesting to know where you have seeing something like this because in my personal experience I have never seen it.

Every places or country we'll find these odd practices and the saddest part is it's in their culture so we can't do anything about it unless of course if you find some people who would like to change that practices. Although, it will take some time though if you want something to change since it will also start with yourself.

Just like gambling addiction, if you want to change and stop being a compulsive gambler it should start within yourself. I agree most of the replies above you shouldn't care what the society would tell and just open your mind that not every places are the same.

No, because in general, women are already gambling their life's future when they choose a man to be with. But seriously, if some countries prohibit gambling it is applied to both genders so I couldn't see any sense that gambling should be only for Men if it is allowed by the institution. But sadly, some places' cultures are more favorable to men than women.

Are the women offended when the society claims that gambling is only for men?

Women appreciates this kind of statement I believe because after all, its a positive trait. But that doesn't mean there is no gamblers on their side. We have seen there are famous poker players on tournaments that are girls. It only means, gender doesn't care when it comes to activities that men does. The world is changing, there are even women who works construction sites.

No woman will appreciate or be happy if there are high percentage of women that is into gambling women are great role models and they have a mother nature that wants their children to be better so I don't think they will appreciate it if many women are into gambling, but that does not mean to say that they cannot gamble, they can as long as they are a responsible gambler and they know their limitation because they do not want to be a bad example to their children.

Actually normal woman didn’t like gambler coz they want a simple and lovely family with there husband. Gambling destroys mental strength and creates unrest in the family. Because when someone loses a big amount in gambling! Then they behave like crazy. But nowadays many women are also anonymously involved in gambling

Since that was the situation on your local, you can't take that situation generally here because I believe, most people here don't have the same situation. Since that was the setup and beliefs on your local, you should be able to answer that on yourself.

We don't know if there's a thing that "influences" gambling there, in general, that's why it ends up to the point that gambling should only be associated mostly with males there. Look internally why things turned that way on your location.

There might be a point that you do not see yet.

Nothing lasts forever

That may or may not be true but I can say how it goes in my country. Most of the females in my country are the ones who run the household.
So basically they are in charge of the house budget which the males give them to run the house for that month.
So if females have a habit of gambling then that might be a risk since it might occur that they may end up using the money to run the house for gambling.
So that's a risk nobody would wanna take and hence they frown upon females who gamble.

This depend on the culture of your country since there are certain races point that girls who are participating on gambling activities are immoral. But since we are now living on modern age for sure we will see equality towards this discussions as I already see some girls or member of 3rd sex keeps participating and competing with straight guys on gambling platforms.

Quote from: Mauser on March 27, 2022, 06:09:21 AM

I would expect the majority of gamblers to be male. That's because men are more willingly to bet their money away for big possible payout in the future. Woman are the better financial planers and more cautious investors, I would expect them to gamble less.

Normally the majority of gamblers are males, like in my community and my country as a whole, it is hard to see girls in view centers watching football matches, hardly you will notice anything like that, but men see it as fun and visit during big leagues like English Premier League and UEFA Champions League. This alone shows us the reason women are not gambling. Women prefer means they can gather money together with little risks like business. Even OP was funny to me because women can decide to just go online if the men in their community see gambling as taboo for women, but I am still think that information is not accurate.

No one makes laws about who is more suitable for gambling but indeed, in some countries, if a woman gambles, it is considered an embarrassment to her family. Maybe this is related to the local culture or culture that will judge a person's actions in acting. So it is not surprising that the surrounding environment will give a bad judgment to a woman who plays gambling. At the same time, it will not result in anything for men who play gambling.

Maybe that will be why if a woman wants to play gambling, she will do it secretly. They don't want to get into trouble so they don't show it to anyone else.

In many countries, I don't want to mention religion and tradition, men are above and they are treated as superior to women because that's what tradition and what they follow in their religion we should respect that, women are the homemakers they are the educator of children so they expect women to have a good behavior this has been the case in many countries since time immemorial, here in our country women can gamble but we do not expect them to be heavy gamblers like men.

That is very right - men are considered superior than woman. I am not sure if it happens in all culture or it is the specific religion you have mentioned. But male supremisy is a global issue. Women faces so many issues, gambling is a kind of different hobby not much liked and admired by many religions.

It is sad in the modern era like now to limit the activities carried out by women. I think every human being should be given the same right to do
anything, because of that gender equality must be fought for. I hope everyone can be open minded that gambling is for anyone who is an adult,
because gambling is not only for men. Because in my opinion as long as the woman does not forget her duties as a wife if she is married,
it is okay to gamble as entertainment. Luckily, there are now many online gambling sites that can play gambling without the need to do KYC
procedures, so women can gamble anonymously without needing to be identified. So this can be a temporary solution in a country that does not
think that women deserve to play gambling.

What do you care about the opinions of strangers? Gender stereotypes exist (and often have a very logical basis) but if the laws in your country are not discriminatory and everyone has equal rights, then you should not care about other people's opinions. The easiest way to stop suffering from stereotypes is to stop paying attention to them.

Exactly, we cannot please everyone but of course women have to fight for equality and for their rights so if they feel mistreated they can always file a case. In gambling, anyone can go as long as you have the money no matter what your gender is, if the laws and religions allows you to gamble then there should be no discrimination here. Just ignore those who throw hate at you and just enjoy gambling.

You can’t please everyone, so I decided to please only myself Grin

This is the most efficient approach and solves most of the problems.

Quote from: Viscore on March 27, 2022, 04:21:57 AM

I think there is no law that is trying to discriminate women against men, all have equal rights and opportunities. However, when it comes to gambling, its mostly dominated by men not because they have more luck, but maybe because men are more risk takers and less impulsive than women. And they are more socially anxious than women. Other than that, i don't see valid reasons why women should not engage theirselves in gambling. If they can stand on what they believe and become independent, gambling may still be a good avenue for them.

The predominance of the share of men in gambling is easily explained by biology. They have more testosterone and other hormones that increase aggressiveness, desire to win, risk taking, etc. I read a study where gambling was compared to hunting (in terms of the physiological effects that appear in the human brain) and there were a lot of similarities. Among other things, there was an explanation of gambling addiction by the fact that during the hunt, when the prey is already very close, the brain mobilizes all the forces for the "last push". And this is very similar to how a gambler is trying to win back with all his strength and money, because the casino always creates the illusion that the win is very close.

I think the society is gradually growing above that stereotype. Once upon a time women only had relevance in their husbands kitchens and bed room but we now live in a society where women participate in everything a man does. I think changing the mindset of people within your locale might only take a while but as civilization and economic advancements keeps making waves in your locality there will be a change of mindset but it might take a while
