Women are more likely to play chance-based games, while men are more likely to bet on sports, according to new research from affiliate BritishGambler

Women are to a greater extent potential to child's play chance-based games, while men are more potential to wager on sports, according to new search from affiliate BritishGambler.co.uk.

A contemplate conducted 'tween 1 January and 31 July analysed unexampled depositing customers’ behaviour crossways 526 UK play websites. BritishGambler also interviewed 850 people to learn more about players’ motivations.

The affiliate found that players of so-called “chance-based games” were 78% female. However, when it comes to wagering, the paired is true. According to BritishGambler’s research, 72% of sports bettors are male.

From this, the affiliate concluded that men are more drawn to “skill-based” contests. This extends to games that are predominantly chance-based, where manful players will, according to BritishGambler’s Alexander the Great Kostin, “attempt to impose some tear down of skill.”

“It’s interesting to looking at the difference 'tween virile and female betting behaviour,” said Kostin. “The research showed that men are drawn to ‘skill-based’ betting which tends to be sports betting.

“However, what we discovered was that even out inwards some games that are preponderantly chance-based, manly punters effort to impose some unwavering of skill; salamander for example, which has a massive amount of chance involved, is regarded as skill-based and an telling 83% of online salamander players are men.”

He also identified a disparity in how male and female players’ handgrip losing. Kostin said: “What’s also interesting, when speaking to manlike and female bettors, is that women are to a lesser extent keen to broadcast when they lose.

He added: “Meanwhile, the study revealed that a freehanded loss for the absolute majority of male person punters provides them with bragging rights as there’s machismo committed to be able-bodied to say: ‘I lost, but i tin can give it’.”
