(...) However in recent times we're beginning to see more gamblers who are woman emerge (...)
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.
Although it is possible for women to get involved in gambling but I am not sure that the number exceeds the percentage of male gamblers, and I understand that gambling is genderless which means that men or women have the same opportunity to be interested in gambling, But as we know that in general, women tend to prefer management and maybe we also know that in household relationships it is usually women who always share the financial allocations made by their husbands to meet all the needs of life, which means that usually women tend to prefer to allocate money for more important things than taking risks for something that is nothing more than a possibility like winning. As I said above although it's not impossible for women to get involved in gambling, I think the numbers are always higher for men.
