The era has changed. With the internet available everywhere, while people can browse any site they want, that makes them visit a gambling site, not just men, but women seem curious why men spend their time playing gambling. While those women realize that gambling can be a source of income, they do not prepare themselves by having control when gambling, so they get addicted to gambling after playing for some time. Gambling can make people, men and women becoming addicted, especially when if they can not anticipate before the addiction comes.
Gambling is long as ages, it has been existing since the ancient time. There was no internet before, internet become reality and people that are using it are increasing. N device before to access the internet, the computer came, few people were able to gambling using computer, phone came, the Android make phones cheaper, almost everyone can access the internet now. A lot of pop ups and ads about gambling in the recent time that expose men, women and even children to gambling companies.

Yes, I think that is an important factor. Years ago it would have been frowned upon for a woman to go to the casino alone, now that has changed.
If going to casino is only what can make punters t o be addicts, many of them wouldn't be an addit till today, but gambling is beyond going to casinos, it is as easy to the extent you can be at home on you bed and enjoy gambling, many people see it as an opportunity of making money, become addicted and lose huge amount of money on it over time right from their home which is their comfort zone. Also there has been women involved in casino right from the past time, they are not just common like men. 
You just have to go to a land based casinos and see how many women are into gambling. So it has no boundaries, regardless of sex, people are going to be addicted to gambling. Although women are supposed to be risk averse, but you can still find women are really into any kind of gambling. Even in poker you will find them sitting and playing along with the guys.
To be honest, in our country there are more women who are addicted to gambling than men. Because these women make the gambling den as their source of any news and while doing that they play cards or what we called Bingo. in the rural area you often see them playing and they've been doing it since young until they get married. it just too sad that this kind of habit is the cause of divorce and lack of parental guidance to their children because they went overboard doing this without a second thought of its consequences.

If someone, a woman or a man, does not know how much money they spend, they already become a heavy addict to gambling. So what do you think? Do you ever meet women around you doing something that they do not want to know? I mean, did they play gambling like a man?
It's a common thing to find in my area women gather to gamble, or individuals who are crazy about buying lottery tickets, but I don't know if they can be said addicted but I'm sure they do it often.If someone, a woman or a man, does not know how much money they spend, they already become a heavy addict to gambling.

Women and men will not be immune to addiction, they will very likely get addicted if they can't control themselves.
In the article that the OP mentioned I think the increase in women who need help because gambling addictions is not that high, maybe the number of addicts is higher but only a few are asking for help because only a few are aware that they are addicted.
Lottery tickets are very popular in our country for both men and women, but when I went to the casino, I mostly saw men with a girl by their side. You are correct; there are no excuses for gambling addiction, whether male or female, because we are all playing. Also, I believe it is possible for anyone to become addicted to it. It should be treated similarly to how men are treated in order for them to overcome it. It's just that I've never seen a female become addicted to it, as most of the women I know are better at controlling themselves than men. It is just my opinion

It's just that women are more embarrassed than men, secretly that's the reality, maybe the world has turned around...
Yes, I think that is an important factor. Years ago it would have been frowned upon for a woman to go to the casino alone, now that has changed. You also have to take into account the impact of new technologies: today they can gamble from home without anyone seeing them, just as they can watch porn, so it is not surprising that there are more women addicted to porn or problem gamblers than years ago.
I never thought that women could have an addiction as men,
Not only in england, in my country too i see the same thing, women are more adept at placing bets than men, especially casino, poker etc, it's real, even worse mothers, engage in gambling, really.It's just that women are more embarrassed than men, secretly that's the reality, maybe the world has turned around, the work that should be done or played by men is done by women, maybe not so strange, in the casino there are more women than men, I am even more strange to see games like football, smackdown, boxing that are done by women, it should be, men do that, not women.
Anybody is susceptible to becoming addicted to gambling. It does not matter the gender. During the pandemic more people are staying home and they have more free time and many choose to spend that time doing online gambling. I've known women in my family who had an addiction and borrowed money thinking they could earn it all back only to suffer worse losses.
It is right. If we are involved in gambling, sooner or later, we can become addicted to gambling and if we do not realize (I guess we will not realize), we can become heavily addicted to gambling. Maybe the other countries have this problem where women are addicted to gambling, but the media does not report it. Some countries will consider that if women are involved in gambling, that is taboo and will hide it from the public. But yes, during the pandemic, people have many free times to stay at home and do many tasks online and that can trigger them to browse a gambling website and become addicted to gambling. 
This is the reality of life now mate, what can male do is also afford of women , there are even leaders proclaimed around the globe as women Beats mens.
Gambling is not far from this thing , When makes are seeking for place to enjoy, find happiness and also chance to gain.
This is not only in UK but even in Asia and in other continents , it is just UK is active in finding data's but i believe that this has been in the other part of the world.

I am curious if only women men seeking help for the addiction or men women also seeking for help? But I guess that could be as we know that men can play gambling more aggressively than women.
women are a human too and they can also feel addicted . lots women on the news or on local have been involved in certain kinds of addiction and this can include gambling however the numbers of them can be small compare to men because women are more feminine and dont like to get inovled in riskier activities .Quote

not really . there are gamblers that are not addicted but they dont want to remember the money that they spend in gambling because it can give them mixed feelings . they just do it for thier own good 
Statistical figures only include 1 counseling service and cannot be used as a reference for the actual situation in the field. In my opinion, it may be true that the economic effect of the pandemic has brought women there to the gambling space and they become addicted, then they try to get out of it.
But this is not a surprising fact, the fact that recently women have started competing in the business and started making easy money. And they also do not limit their entertainment objects including gambling to just spending some money. Many believe that female gamblers have been taboo for so long that women are more likely to openly seek out counselors to cure their addictions more quickly than men.

I don't know if there is a particular scientific study which proves that men are more prone for gambling addiction than women. If there is such a study then perhaps we will be surprised by the sudden rise of gambling addiction among women in the UK. We would be interested to know the causes and other factors involved. But if there is none then I think gender should not be an issue.
But it is a fact that women nowadays have sources of income, freedom to spend their money, and are not barred from playing in casinos and other gambling establishments and sites.

I never thought that women could have an addiction as men, but as humans, they see gamble as an opportunity to make money in this pandemic.
When most persons speak of gambling and its addiction, there's usually a bias because most of the people have males at the back of their mind as the option whenever gambling addiction is mentioned. Feminism and the change in age has shown us now that there are women now involved in most activities that were formerly male oriented, one of which is gambling, and i must say i'm not surprised.
Although the ratio of men to women found in betting shops before placing bets used to be like 20:2 (sometimes the women are staffs) maybe because of the awkwardness and stereotype against a woman who walks in to place her bet and gamble, online gambling has changed and eradicated all that, women who originally like to gamble but were keeping that part of them under check because of the stereotype of walking into a betting or gambling place, can now do gamble or bet online at the comfort of their homes without criticism, unknown to anyone because of online gambling. It's a reason IMHO why more women are getting addicted to gambling in the UK and other places.
I think it's not just because of the pandemic that women are driven into gambling, they have been into it same as men do. So it is strange to see this report and then pointing out the main reason is because of the covid-19 restrictions. Gambling addiction affects everyone even women. It can be seen as form of entertainment, but just the same, you can fall for it if you can't control yourself, rich and poor, they have the same chance of being a gambling addict.
Even before pandemic I do believe that these women were already involved in gambling and the current pandemic restrictions just make the gambling addiction of a certain person worst. In the field of gambling there's no woman and man comparison because both could be vulnerable in the so called gambling addiction. We shouldn't have to pin point all the blame due to current situation the mere fact that the society or the environment for those women are in a gambling field could also be considered in my own insights.
Aren't you a gambler? because if not then i understand this confusions but if you are a literal gambler then what's new?
there are even Hundreds of woman gambling in every casino land base?
yeah their smaller than man but at least 20-30% of the gambling populations are now Woman.

Maybe they think that in this covid-19 situation.. women open the internet more often and because Bitcoin is getting more recognizable, the more Bitcoin casino sites are available, women will of course open it more often with their smartphone/gadget or Pc. And not only that, their husbands can also be the cause, so they both enter Bitcoin gambling sites together, till becoming more addicted.

I don't think that every gambler has a list of expenses from start to finish, can that be said to be non-addicted? just because they don't know how much money has been spent and then it is considered a form of addictive behavior. As for women who are gamblers, have you ever watched women's MMA fights? Isn't that also if at first glance it is not natural, because in general it is men who are supposed to fight and compete for strength. As the times change, we eliminate that perception, so that in gambling there is no gender limit whether it is male or female. As long as they are skilled then all are considered equal as gamblers.
