You can gamble from any where without even letting outsiders know you gamble. The rate at which women move into gambling would have increased due to such reasons compared to the past.
I also think this is the reason why the rate of woman gambling are increasing, online gambling has made gambling to be easy for everyone that has interests in gambling therefore female can now gamble from their home and nobody will know they are gambling, not even their husband or family members will be aware. Woman has to support their husband too therefore the rate of gambling has to increase as they do not have any other thing that they are doing and they think gambling can get them money to use in helping out in the family. I do not have a problem with woman gambling provided they are gambling in a responsible manner and do not cause any problem with other gamblers or get out of hand when they lose money. Everybody is welcome to gamble provided they can control their emotions.
