Topic: Gender in Gambling [differences between Women and Men in Gambling] - page 33. (Read 5583 times)

You can really hide who you are, a man or a woman.  But we are talking about the fact that for 10 men playing in online casinos, there will probably be only 1 woman playing sitting at the computer. 
There are many reasons for this.  And ordinary household chores related to the fact that being at home a woman simply does not have so much free time to play quietly due to the fact that she is constantly busy with some ordinary household chores.  Or is engaged in education or service related to her children.  And the man worked at his main job and came home and plays because he is not busy with such household chores. 
This way of life for men and women takes place in the vast majority of countries and communities on Earth. 
And this is precisely the reason that women in general, on a global scale, even in online games, participate much less than men.

In the present world, the trend is indeed towards online gambling. With the emergence of crypto gambling, individuals can hide their identities as many gambling sites allow anyone to participate, providing a level of anonymity. This means that people of various demographics, including men, women, and even minors, can engage in gambling with a sense of equality.

Well, in the area where I live, you see very few traditional casinos, the reason is that the government banned these sites for 20 years, but then once everything was released again, men and women do see more participation from men than women, that's obvious, but as for women, only those who accompany their husbands, very few women enter the casinos alone, but I have seen that men enter regardless of their economic level, instead, single women enter n they are of very good economy, that is what I have noticed, but you see most of the only men who play more, I think it is because there is less fear of Risk.

We as men tend to take more risks than women, and not only in casinos, I think that in everything, sometimes we are not afraid of many things and I think that when we do not have a family, that is, women + children, the risk is higher, then in women it is not like that, women are or tend to be much more conservative, if they take risks, but I think they think much more before making any move, before us men who are naturally more daring to do certain activities .

Women sometimes have more daring to do activities that sometimes we do not dare, they have a certain level of Elegance to show them that we do not look good if we do them, or consequently they are stronger than us, for example, the fact of being able to have a baby for 9 months is a pain that we men could not bear, therefore we must also value them a lot and highlight their tastes and their ways of playing in casinos.

Im trying out to make some search about on certain countries which does prohibit out women on playing gambling then i didnt able to find one which does simply means that it is really just that common kind of
perception on which on gender inequality in speaking about women on engaging on gambling.It is really that free for everyone and there's no such thing about gender for you to be able to play.
It is really just that community does really have that common approach when it comes to gender on which it isnt really that common nor even completely not allowed on letting women to play
on certain place on which it isnt really just that right.

Gambling is for fun and entertainment, it doesnt matter on what gender you would really be having and as long it would really be that having the money for you to play then you are
free on doing so no matter what would really be your gender. It is really just that common on having this kind of gender inequality.

Stereotyping societies based on their rules, huh? Is that how we roll? No society is backward for its rules, rather the misinterpretation of such rules often cause trouble. We're talking about gambling, which is notoriously known for wrecking lives, irrespective of the gender involved.

Its a far stretch to equate the restriction of a destructive habit to societal backwardness. Maybe they've got it figured out, y'know? What happens when both parents fall into the gamble hole? Its not just about the financial stability, but the emotional stability of the family is also at risk.

I hear you, though, when you talk about responsibility, but I beg to differ on the gender role part. Both parents should be responsible, equally. The whole "women should take care of the home" sounds pretty outdated to me. Everyone should play their part in a functional household.

A country like mine, where gambling is fully legalized the ratio of women still playing gambling in local physical is still at its minimal because of many traditional disgust that frown against this act but the intervention of online casino broke this barrier because even myself never knew women gamble a lot as I have seen several of my nephew using online gambling site to gamble although some women still gamble in the physical casino shop but they kinda of prefer gambling on online sites because of the public opinion about the feminine gender gambling.

The result is partially right to some extent. Women are very fragile in nature and can not withstand the pressure and tension associated with gambling hence, the lesser their population participating in gambling. Not only in gambling but in every bad habit that involves men and women, women receive the highest criticism for doing the same thing with their men counterpart. The society is designed to celebrate men's waywardness but condemn women.

I personally don't like seeing women gambling after my experience with one when her ticket was cut. She nearly runs mad.

This type of family gambling may happen only for a few. But in the majority case, only the man is the gambler. You should know that in many countries still woman has no rights (not by law) to do a lot of things and gambling is one of them. So, a large number of women are away from gambling.

I halfway disagree with this.  I agree that gender equality is good and should be implemented, I also agree that both women and men have different duties but I highly disagree that women should have a different rights from men making men receiving more benefits.  They are both human and each one has their duty where other cannot perform.  Thus right should be equal between this two gender.


Taking care of the family is the responsibility of both parents.  Though each maybe has a different function but their rights and responsibility are not inferior to each other.

In terms of social activities such as gambling, I don't think that we should make a huge deal if we see women gamble.  They are also human and nothing inferior to men so they should also enjoy the freedom and rights men are experiencing.

So because their religion or society doesn't permit women gambling does that mean they're from a backward place. Imagine a family of gamblers that both father and mother are gambling how do you expect that family to function properly, some laws are their to guide us.

While we think we're are adults and capable of making decisions for ourselves, most of us are still immature and if we live in a free society we'll be living a useless lifestyle. There's no difference between a family of drug addict and a family of gambling addicts.

Atleast the woman is supposed to be the responsible one and I'm not trying to take anything away from her but she should be taking care of the home and making sure her children are feed and responsible. When both parents are gambling addicts that's a very big problem.

this is very much highlighted in this modern era, liberal adherents believe that gender equality is real and must be fought for but in some countries and cultures it is often considered that liberalism is wrong, it returns to their respective regions and i am a little bit not so supportive liberal understanding, even though gender equality is good, women must have different duties and rights from men, it returns to their respective families how to take care of their children and must be able to tell what is not allowed and what is allowed to be done by girls or boys.

You mean land-based casinos, but what about online gambling? It is believed that approximately 25% of people around the globe gamble online. That's almost 2 billion. True, today statistically more man than women are engaged in gambling, but the difference isn't very significant, and we shouldn't forget that in some places, due to cultural issues, women are less prone to admit that they gamble during surveys.

 OP you're partially right because the number of females that's has interest in gambling is not very much compared to males, and in the 80's and 90's some society do not tolerate or allow their daughters to partake in the act of gambling, and anyone that doesn't out of stubbornness are considered bad, arrogant and disrespectful to their parents and that in return make suitors avoid them, some out of fear have to quit because they feel they've brought shame to the family.

 Also change they say is Constant and in the present time more women are beginning to pick interest in it due to some factors,
•Gender equality.
•Love of sports, they're gambling with friends on the team of athlete they support.
•Job opportunity in casinos
•Peer pressure from male friends.
•Rapid adaption of females in various sports activities, eg females soccer leagues and NBA teams.
 However you're right to say men have the upper hand when it comes to the world of gambling because majority of males are more exposed to sports, casinos activities whereas more females find it difficult to understand and read the game and would prefer other entertainment areas like movies, music which does not relate to or involve more of gambling.

Actually there's no gender specification in just playing gambling because anyone can play gambling anytime they want people seeing most likely the men playing gambling because they are more risk takers than the woman and we know how to become practical thinking by the woman and it if ideal to deal with or not because of way to risky than making another way to earn money. But at the end we cannot deny there are really skilled players including woman in this field so they conquer and beat their enemies with different strategies.

Gambling gender? Isn't that over? Gambling cats vs. dogs? But I understand that curious individuals need to research. I'm conflicted about gambling's "fun and earning" aspect. Yes, many see it as another way to make money, and that's fine. Let's not overlook the fun. Gamblers enjoy the adrenaline, unpredictability, and crazy! It's insanely exciting and maybe profitable. As long as you're not betting everything, it's fine!

There really isn't anything wrong with that. But if some traditions or cultures make women look embarrassed when playing gambling in their country, I don't think women will want to show it to the public either. They would prefer to gamble secretly, perhaps in their room or alone.

Well, this might just be a cultural thing because not all countries allow gambling in their country, and there might be an opinion that if a woman gambles, it will look shameful when it depends on the woman too. Indeed, gambling knows no gender where men and women are free to play gambling or choose to stay away from gambling. But we are talking about a culture still held by some people from certain countries.

You spoke really well, gender has never been a barrier in gambling for as far as I've known, so the debate as to which gender gambles the more is an unnecessary debate really, but then, it's understandable that the world we live in today are filled with many who are not so busy, so they take up any thing that comes to their mind as a research, so as to try to kill time.

And as to gambling just being about having fun and earning, I am afraid but not very many gamblers see gambling as such,  the majority of gamblers will tell you that if it was really about having fun, they know better ways to spend their money, most see gambling as another business to make money from, even though they don't say it publicly, it's what is buried in their hearts.

I never thought there would be such deep calculations behind the gambling based on genders. I’m not sure what’s the final outcome on this but it seems it’s unpredictable and there are just endless streams of logics to it. Gambling is something we play for fun and earn. I don’t think it is gonna be fruitful discussion ever. It’s not about the gender and who plays why. It’s all about we play it. Females are also proceeding to new heights when it comes playing anything that male used to do before. Whether it’s sports, whether it’s gambling there is no big difference these days. Everything is played equally. I think.

Yes, it's true that the difference is only in gender, there is no difference between the two on the gambling table, men and women have the same opportunity to win and play more, even though the male population in land casinos may be more than in women, but we don't know in casinos. online because I haven't found the statistics yet, who knows there are also quite a lot of female gamblers in online casinos.

Men and women in gambling have the same rights, they can gamble in peace without any difference in service, everything will be the same in the eyes of the casino as long as they have money, but if asked who is good at managing finances and is consistent, it is clear that women are much smarter than men from that female gamblers may play more consistently in terms of benefiting from winning at gambling.

I don't see anything wrong even if women go to land-based casinos to gamble alongside men, if their culture, their religion, and their country allow that, why not? Gambling knows no gender discrimination, whether you are a man or a woman, you can gamble, play any game that you like, bet on sports events, or do any sort of gambling that you deem fit for yourself and you think that you can play it with ease and have got the funds for it.

I personally don't think that women that gamble hide it from others because generally, the women who gamble are not from such backward-thinking places, and if a woman gambles who lives somewhere where it is not considered good, then it might be the reason for them to hide their gambling activities.
