Addiction don't care if you are a man or a woman. It doesn't discriminate. It works the same for everybody. I've seen women that got addicted to various other things. Most of them are obsessed with make-up tools, instagram and shit. I'd say almost all of them are addicted to instagram and they don't even know that they are addicted. They think it is the normal way of life and that makes it even worse.

As far as I know women as compared to men have a stronger susceptibility to various kinds of addictions and gambling addiction is no exception. But it seems to me that we cannot trust these statistics because men rarely seek help from specialists for fear of appearing weak in the eyes of the public. I think that the number of men suffering from gambling addiction is many times more than the number of women.

More time has been spent indoors which the pandemic still is to blame but I think it's the luring nature of gambling.
Men might not seek help unless the problem is already worse like pawning their house already which their family is about to get evicted. There could be few exceptional men that will seek help to prevent the worse.

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?

Women also being a part of gambling sector from the beginning so its obvious that they are also getting addicted to it and its strange for me when you see a woman is addicted to gambling as a weird thing.

Men and women seek help when they are addicted but the percentage is not the actual and if I am not wrong more than 90% of the people who are suffering from addiction won't let anyone to help them.

I don't think there should be a distinction on how a woman would gamble or how a man gambles. Like, what the heck? It's not going to benefit in any other way whether you're a man or a woman. It's basically the same game just different people. Why should it be different as well? Why hide it? I think the ones who hide are the ones who are ashamed of themselves and know that they have a problem. They just can't accept it fully.

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.

Not just land based but also those yachts or cruise casinos, most of the women there are rich anyways so they really don't mind getting addicted because they still have the money to gamble through 2 lifetimes.

Gambling will involve anyone regardless of gender, young or old even children are involved in gambling so this news is neither new nor surprising, although some of them are addicted they can solve it in their own way.
and women gambled in trouble long before the advent of online gambling, only they were very careful to keep what they felt was a shameful secret because women were by nature housewives and took care of their children.

Didn't expect women to lead the statistics in regards to gambling addiction, they don't seem to be the gender that I associate with when it comes to gambling especially the adrenaline and the recklessness of gambling addicts, pretty sure that it's not a trait of any woman that I know.

The way the media portrays things, some might even believe that gambling addiction is the biggest problem the homeless and those living in poverty face. It is a perspective far removed from reality.

Because it's a business. And I believe that the reason that many of the articles do not address more serious issues is that doing so appears to be a bit boring for some people, which may lead to a decline in ratings boost. They are only interested in content that will catch people's attention, which is terrible.

Instead, they publish articles about statistics of addicted female gamblers, which I believe are useless in some ways and do not add up to solving real-world problems.

Duh... it's a human nature.

Personally, I never thought that women are also addicted in gambling via sports or casinos. I only thought that some or most of women are only addicted in shopping or food.

In this modern world, no matter what gender you are in, everyone are also indulged in gambling or have been addicted already. Maybe because of their desire to have that money quickly rather than working on shifts like office or something. Everyone have their own ambitions that's why many people are seeking on fast money.

addiction problems are very difficult to treat, such as someone addicted to alcohol, shabu shabu, and online gambling, not only in England, even in almost all countries, almost all women are addicted to gambling, alcohol, and shabu shabu, if British women are mostly those who are addicted to gambling, may be caused by a free lifestyle, and it could also be because of the problems they face, so they plunge into the world of gambling, because all they have in mind is win and win.

But well, I realize that everyone can be addicted to gambling and I think that is not about gender but that article only shows women as a subject.

Women addicted is just less commonly known since it's less documented and less portrayed in movies and other entertainment shows that's why you see articles like this. The truth is that gambling doesn't recognize gender and gambling platforms doesn't care about gender.

That means you're out of touch in terms of looking in data and you are single minded. Of course they can still be susceptible to addiction but you're right to not expect them to be addicted because of gambling.

I am curious if only women seeking help for the addiction or men also seeking for help? But I guess that could be as we know that men can play gambling more aggressively than women.

I guess there's no discrimination on that and it feels there's some issue on it as well to them seeking for help. I think it will always be subjective on every individuals in regards to sex and being aggressive as a gambler is a thing for both but more often it will always point to man as the heavy gambler.

Gambling seems heavily discriminate to a man's world I guess, that even there's some woman who are into it, it was just simply ignored and most eyes was onto man, anyone can disagree on me.

The popularity of gambling is rising since a few years now and of course the pandemic also played a big part in that because when people are not allowed to go out for some entertainment they try to get as much possible of it from home. And gambling can be really exciting and entertaining, especially if you play against others and/or if money is involved that you can win or lose. It is also true that, women are in gernal more risk averse then men, this is also the reason why there are way more male crypto investors then female ones, but that does not mean that there are no women at all out there that enjoy to gamble.

I just do not even think to see women become addicted to gambling, heavier than a man, especially in the UK, which I think the education is good compared to the other countries. But well, I realize that everyone can be addicted to gambling and I think that is not about gender but that article only shows women as a subject.

What I tend to see between men and women, as a financial advisor, is that women tend to be more sensible overall. So that being said I am a bit surprised that this is the case but then again I have to ask, how do we know the exact number..I know that it can be reported..but there are plenty of people who don't report these types of things and that makes me wonder how many men vs women are not reporting their issues.

It is hard to know the number of them since that is not reported accurately. Or if there is a comparison from any college or other researcher, I do not think it can represent the total number of them.

Its strange how the media can fool people into believing there is a legitimate crisis simply by spamming people with many news stories about gambling addiction everyday.

If someone were to drive past a homeless encampment, they would see a high percentage of homeless high on drugs, recovering from their last drug binge or brainstorming methods to fund their addiction. A percentage of them might gamble. But gambling would not be a real obstacle to them rejoining society or living stable and healthy lives. Substance abuse and mental issues which develop from substance abuse would be by far the largest problems. But none of these issues are acknowledged by the media. And so it is as if they do not exist.

The way the media portrays things, some might even believe that gambling addiction is the biggest problem the homeless and those living in poverty face. It is a perspective far removed from reality.

Regardless on gender this is equal towards gambling and the number of rise towards women gamblers is not surprising knowing that they are prone also to get addicted once there partners and people around them is also involve on gambling, but if you think the nearest person near you especially your relatives is involve on thia things better guide them or give them an advice about what things need to consider before they bet all they had on casino's.

I don't know why, but it irks me that you've never thought about women getting addicted to things the men get addicted to.

I don't think it is the right question. I mean it's obvious that both men and women seeks professional help when they want their gambling addiction tp be treated. the right question would be, is, if women seeks help far often than men when it comes to treating their gambling addiction.
