so I did a quick search on Google and I found an article with a title "male vs female gambling statistics in 2024" you might find it Interesting(because I did)but I am not sure if it is exactly what you are looking for.

Here's the link to the article
Fascinating Male Vs. Female Gambling Statistics in 2024

Is it based only on your own observation or do you have any data source for this?
I suspect this is true, but I'm curious on what the actual female participation % figure is.

There could be a few reasons for that. Women are more risk averse in general, but, at the same time, are keen to participate in activities that are considered socially acceptable. So when gambling became more popular, i.e. due to mobile apps etc, more women have decided to give it a try.

We can't deny that women are not part of this industry because even though they are not playing, we see them all around in the Casino, and with that, they are just impossible not to play because they already know the rules of the game but as you said, they are not that many because we all know that only women from 1st world countries are free to do what they wanna do. After all, in other parts of the world, they still live in their house as housewives and that's the same reason why they are still not interested in gambling because they are not yet fully exposed to it and that's a good thing you know, imagine getting home and you don't find your wife at home and she is in the other house playing with other women along with some men.

Yeah, women gamblers are increasing in number due to online casinos but I don't think they can even compete with the number of male gamblers. I don't think that even 1/4th of gamblers are women so I guess male gamblers will always be more in number because women aren't much interested in gambling as males and they really don't want to win and earn, they can easily take whatever they want by controlling their own husbands and boyfriends.

I don’t know exactly about dopamine in women, but in real life I saw some women who were addicted. Moreover, it was at a fairly late stage. I also noticed that the older a person is, the more difficult it is for him to get out of this addiction; he is no longer as flexible as before. Therefore, a mixture of age and addiction in women is complex cases. I also know some young women, and they are dangerous because they can manipulate the men they meet. These men hope to have a relationship with these girls and are willing to lend them varying amounts of money. Girls will come up with thousands of reasons why they need this money; I was most surprised by the case when a girl told a guy that she needed money to treat her mother for a serious illness. Imagine his face when he found out that this was not true.

(...) However in recent times we're beginning to see more gamblers who are woman emerge (...)

After a thorough research, I've come to understand that the history of gambling could be traced far back to the ancient Chinese and was mostly practiced by men cause by then it didn't seem right for women to be involved in such act, Well it wasn't illegal for women but there where more men participating in casinos than women, but change they say is constant and as time passed, women gradually began to participate in the act and I think in the 19th if I'm not mistaken more women began to participate in it and by then a woman called Alice Iver Tubbs, also known as (Poker Alice) became a professional in gambling, history have it that she was very good with poker which led to the name Poker Alice.

 However in recent times we're beginning to see more gamblers who are woman emerge and though they're not yet equal to the amount of male gambler, a good amount of women globally have began to pick interest in it, since it's now being socialized, to back that up, I know some of my friends that participate in gambling and even play slot games as well as staking of the UEFA Champions League games, I know a friend who also love to stake on Al-Nassr cause her favourite football celebrity Ronaldo plays for the team. lol I won't also deny that she's gradually luring me into sports betting as well.

 Also the rate at which women are now picking interes in gambling is so alarming, there are a good number of female punters on the media with good fanbase and they give good betting advice, we all know that gambling does guarantee 100% success but if you follow their predictions you could get atleast 60 to 70% chances of winning the bet. That's to tell you how well women are now involving in gambling and as time passes there's a tendency for more women to indulge in it as well, since the social media have made gambling more popular and the fact that it involves sporting activities makes that more possible.

It is true from many angles and many women have the habit of spending that is likened to the same dopamine surge that gambling and drugs give as shopping does. Hence these people are more likely to gamble and get addicted after a few days of playing. This is detrimental to the person and their family if they have any, because women carry an immense role in the upbringing of their children.

I am sure the ones who are playing may be responsible about their money but problems do arise and thus the self-moderation should be strict.

I don't intend to discriminate but from many angles, women probably let their emotions run wild more easily than men, it feels like their instinct is to be sensitive and emotionally vulnerable. In addition, in many countries that often prioritize women, many women have a good husband as well as very good family conditions, and they tend to focus on family and housework, spending time on beauty and other topics, in which gambling is also an ideology, it is not surprising that many women spend a huge amount of money on this activity.

You are right. Addiction is not planned. You don't approach gambling with the mindset of becoming addicted. It is the thrill and excitement that makes a lot of persons to be addicted. Habit is formed when you keep doing a particular thing over and over again. This is the same with gambling addiction. When you gamble continuously and uncontrollably then addiction is inevitable. Nobody wants to lose. Everyone wants to win, women inclusive and so when you lose your money to gambling, without discipline, you will want to regain your lose by staking again and again until you win. This lies the beginning of addiction.

This is the case in most gamblers regardless of gender. Gambling is risky is like putting your hand in a burning water without protective glove, you will be hurt. This is why risk management is important. Risk management is likened to a protective glove. With a protective glove, you can put your hand in a burning pot and don't get hurt. In gambling, not getting hurt doesn't mean you won't lose but what it means is that you cannot have an irreparable loss since you are gambling with caution. I will note here that development comes with a lot of threads and the increase in female gambling is as a result of changes in the belief system of the global arena.

everyone has no desire to be addicted. and have no control over it all, whether male or female.
Most gamblers regardless of their gender, understand they are risking money to make a quick buck. Likewise, they are aware of the risk of losing it.
What many gamblers don't know is risk management. How do we not reach this risk until we end up addicted?
I think women's interest in gambling has been around for a long time. Maybe now the development is quite big because of the development of online casinos which are so easy to access that no one will even know that we are gambling.

It is important to pay attention to this trend and warn women against the possible negative consequences of gambling.

It's terrible thing, because woman can't have a good selfcontrol.

Today, more and more women are interested in gambling, and this causes some concern. Why is this happening? Perhaps this is due to a change in the socio-cultural environment and wider access to gambling. Many women are looking for adrenaline and thrills in excitement, and may also see it as a way to earn money. Some may also become addicted due to stress, loneliness, or other problems. It is important to pay attention to this trend and warn women against the possible negative consequences of gambling.

As a woman myself who is into gambling, I chose to gamble as I was looking for some entertainment and at the same time, a chance for a potential profit. Gaining profit when playing is fun, but it's much exciting to see how what would be the outcome of the game. I like to challenge myself, see and test my luck and skills, and make decisions based on my research and instincts.

It turns out that this is their own bait, which they can fall for and end up in an even worse financial situation. Of course, I don’t want to say that everyone won’t succeed, but this will happen to the majority of women who will not be able to stop playing and will bet more and more each time.

I know the case of one pregnant woman who was addicted, but it’s good that she was able to stop, although she lost quite a lot. She just started telling any fantastic stories so that they would lend her money, even related to her unborn child. Honestly, I wish there were fewer such cases.
