I have bearly seen a woman addict gambler, so for that i think we have minimal number of women involved in gambling and some time the few of them that engage in gambling activities are all doing so because of the quest to have fun and pass time along the way, this is also not unrelated to the fact that society today looks bad on some activities and gambling is one of such activity.
And again as a woman society has set a bar between you and some activities and making those activities look like only men's activities and any woman who's over-involved in gambling may be discriminated against in society.
Topic: What is the drive that makes women go into gambling? - page 5. (Read 647 times)
I think for many women some of the few reasons they go into gambling, is that gambling provides them with the opportunity to be sociable and enjoy time with friends and also use it to escape boredom loneliness or even stress, excitement is also part of the reasons why women goes into gambling the sense of winning creates an additional anticipation of something bigger having the spotlight on you as a winner can make you feel good even for a brief moment. This has eventually turn into frequent trips or long session in gambling.
Many people who gamble nowadays are doing it purposely to make money from it, but only a few do it for entertainment purposes. So seeing women gamble nowadays is not a surprise, and it makes me believe that they are doing it for earning because many of them find means of earning, so hardly that is the reason why many decide to try their luck in gambling, and from that try, they become so addicted that even when they later find another source of income, it becomes hard for them to leave. But seeing women gamble for fun is very hard because, naturally, almost everyone doesn't like gambling.
Some women are into gambling because they want to earn money quickly and not to depend on their husbands, and that is why they tried going into gambling to see if they can make money from it. I don't think a married woman joined gambling because she's bored at home. Why? Because, as a married woman, you have children, I strongly believe that while your children are with you there is nothing there to be bored about.
If a married woman becomes a chronic gambler, that means she is addicted to gambling and it will not end well in her home, but as a single lady, you can gamble responsibly and it will never be a crime to do so.

peer pressure isn't one?
in my country, there are lots of women mostly playing bingo or cards every day in their favorite corner. they are up to gossip around the neighborhood but it would be pointless to go home without making money. It is an opportunity to make money who would pass that?
Some women don't need to go to any gambling center or hall just to gamble and have fun while playing gambling, they can also have fun while they play cards or ludo's with their friends outside their own building or their friends' apartments. The gossiping part of women, that's what makes them different from men, so it is just part of us. in my country, there are lots of women mostly playing bingo or cards every day in their favorite corner. they are up to gossip around the neighborhood but it would be pointless to go home without making money.

As much as gambling addiction are destroying men, it is doing the same to women and it is putting their homes and entire family at risk. If you ask a woman who is addicted to gambling what triggered it, you may get responses like, they started gambling as a way to cope with certain lifestyle changes, the loss of a child or spouse, loneliness and divorce. And it is the same gambling psychology of adrenaline , that is in play when a man is addicted that is also working when a woman is addicted to gambling too.

Women do have different motives for going into the world of gambling, I believe. I mean if you were to look at the entire matter from the perspective of a biological standpoint, then men have developed to become more risky as when they were hunters back ages ago. Women stayed in a shelter, waiting for their risky mates to return with food. But that is not all women did. They developed raised and protected babies, made social bonds and shared information between each other, which was vital to the survival of the human species. We are a herd-like species after all. We cannot stand to be alone and together we become stronger and more likely to survive.
So going by that, obvious the more risky counterpart (men) will be more prone to risky things with tempting rewards, like gambling. Women are more risk adverse and would rather enjoy the gambling community than the act of betting itself.
Women gamble for fun, to kill boredom and for profit. It all depends on the lady own reason in one of these three reason as stated above. The same reason that makes a man to gamble is the same reason why women gamble. I know of a female gambler, she sees gambling as a means of making profit and she got stuck into addiction to the extend that she sold some of her jewelries to gamble. And I also know of a lady that only gamble when the is bored to have fun. You see, these are the same reasons why men gamble too. It is just like you are asking, why do women drink or why do dey smoke or do drugs.

I think the same reason why men do gamble, that's the same reason which make some women do gamble also, some women do have passion for sport, and they do gamble just because they want to have fun, and we know women also love money, they notice that people are making money from gambling, so they decide to gamble just to make money. I can say everyone is having the reason why they decide to gamble, everyone one can't have the same mind set. But women don't really gamble the same way men do gamble, you will find it difficult to see women gambling, compare to the way men do gamble. 
From what I observe, old ladies like going to casinos because they feel lonely and bored at home. They can't practice intense activities anymore and don't have disposal to travel long distances, like the younger ones do on holidays and vacations. So they prefer going to the casino, as it's something they can do while seated at a chair. It's entertainment and relaxing, with some chance of growing their funds into something else, then they can give some money to sons, grandchildren or save for themselves. Anyway, each person will have their own reason to gamble, and we can't really generalize.
What I mentioned is just something I observed in people around me in the past...

Freely speaking, the kind of friends they hang out with or listen to often or gossip with, be it a male or of same gender. If the friends can gamble, or talk about it often, it could lead them to try it out and perhaps stick with. Also, economic situation in ones current environment could be a leasing cause, because instead of going into prostitution, gambling may appear as a lesser evil.
They could simply also just love gambling and stick with it as a secret hobby, since it can be rather unsuspecting of a woman to gamble as compared to a man in many society today.
Gender equality...hehehe. The idea that what a man can do, a woman can do better may be more than responsible as a drive that contributes to make women go into gambling..

Yeah, because women loves to talk and socialize. Some of them prefer on site gambling rather than online because of that and by nature they are always having a doubt in every thing so they more prefer to see all of it rather than getting anxious because of they are kinda afraid that they may be scam. But I dunno here in my place there are more women playing, but it is like majong.

Honestly, I think most women are driven into gambling for the same reasons men get into it: because of thrill, entertainment and the possibility of winning important amounts of money.
In that sense, men and women are not that different from each other, after all we are al human beings and we can feel the same when comes to greed and excitement.
Though, I would also add that women are less likely to gamble than men, because some additional social stigma added to them and the fact in many cultures women have different social expectations than men have over themselves.
Women are not really involved in our country in those activities which are consider as gambling because they are dependent on man for money. The main focus of people on gambling is for money as without money life become very difficult.
Women never use their money in useless activities and its the reality because they are very conscious about the use of their money.
Male are more engaged in gambling as compared to female because they have responsibilities and they don't known how to manage these responsibilities so they choose wrong mechanisms of making money as jobs are not enough to give opportunity to each individual of a country.

Same drive that keep men in gambling which is the rewards of winning, in gambling the ultimate goal for both women and men is the money and fun, so sometimes when you are not gambling for the money or you gamble for the fun, alot of us have spent time to keep ourselves entertained and free up our heads.Women also love fun and money all together and at that they will gamble at any given instance and opportunities.
I will like to ask you dude something.
What is the difference between man and woman i gambling and other risk-taking activities?
In my opinion, poverty or wealth can drive women to engage in gambling. Additionally, depression could be one of the reasons that leads women to participate in gambling.
Sometimes, it might be when someone's life becomes very boring, in such cases like that going to a casino to socialize, make friends and have some fun can be appealing. I know some women who are into gambling purely for just entertainment purposes.

Most of my woman friend that playing gambling usually have a anti social attitude. They only play gambling to release stress but they didn’t mean to socialize since they don’t know people in the casino that’s why they play. They are using it to escape in reality and have quick profit aside form their job.
A woman with an active social life will never go to casino as well as those willing to socialize with stragers since they can use malls, salons and other typical girls hangout spot if they want to socialize.
I don't think it's any different for women than it is men. I can tell you though as a financial advisor that more men gamble than women because men tend to be more reckless with their finances that women overall (20 years of experience backing that claim up). Women like winning money just the same as men do. Also they enjoy the same benefits of it being a fun social event. My x-gf loved going to the casino. It was a fun thing for us to do, get dressed up and go hit the casinos, just something different than your average evening.

Your illustration might be relative. The main reason why the poor gamble is not for fun but for money. So I can conclude that most financially stable women who gamble do that for fun and not necessarily for money. But I can certainly say that most women in poor nations gamble because they are seeking alternative means of income. A poor woman is seeking for means to feed and wouldn't consider spending money in casinos just for fun. The majority of the women I know who gambled learned it either from male partners or male relatives. And they are motivated to stake when they see people winning games. 
This seems like a sexist post to be honest. I don’t think that women have separate driving forces than men when it comes to gambling. In fact, I know more women than men that frequent casinos. I think it has less to do with gender and more to do with when they have available free time and what they enjoy.

There are many reasons for someone who decides to get involved in gambling whether men or women they certainly have their own goals and reasons and of course there are a variety of differences.Some people may enter gambling especially women because they want to find satisfaction by gambling or even with the aim of gambling as the main means of venting their emotions or venting their mistakes regarding several things that have happened.
If we do research by directly asking female gamblers for their reasons for gambling almost all of the answers will be to have fun and seek entertainment but apart from these reasons there are actually other things that they may be reluctant to mention.
