There seems to be a bias in the opinions of people regarding gender and gambling. Most persons in my locale consider gambling as something more appropriate for males than females, who made that a law?
Will it be possible if you could share which country you are staying? That is very unfortunate to hear that such bias still exists in the 20th century given that lots of women fought for their rights and equality on their respective countries.
-In my locale, a man who is considered a compulsive gambler may be overlooked if he is doing well regardless, but a for a woman, regardless of her financial state, will be perceived and considered highly irresponsible if she is found in a betting or gambling place.
This is just straight up sexist. Again, in the 20th century, the society has recognized and understood that women and men are definitely equal. In fact, almost all of the jobs that were once viewed that only males can do, also females now can do. Even in gambling, in fact, there was a thread before stating that women can handle their emotions well on gambling.
Why the bias? should gambling be only for Men?
Gambling should be available for everyone irrespective of one's gender. The fact that there are countries that has an unequal view between men and women is just really unfortunate. I hope they recognize that such bias cannot exist as there is practically no difference between the two genders.
