Read More »More women playing poker, new research suggests More women are playing poker than ever before, according to new research from PR firm Hatch and 888poker. By Gambling Insider In time for this year’s International Women’s Day, both companies have collaborated on research which suggests there has been a 22% increase in female poker players across Britain over the past year. While poker is a traditionally male-dominated game, their research seems to indicate that the tables are turning, and poker is becoming an increasingly popular pastime for women. Over the past year, new player buy-in from men has been considerably lower than from their female counterparts, at only 14%. Female players are also partaking in a wide variety of formats, though casual games with friends and family remain most popular. Broken down, 48% of women chose this as their preferred format, compared to 54% of men. Online cash games came in second place at 37%, a more popular format among female players than male ones, at only 35%. Organised cash games, live buy-in tournaments and free mobile apps were female players’ third, fourth and fifth favourite formats, respectively. Approximately 58% of women said they began playing poker because they think it’s “a fun and social game”, while 37% play because they believe it’s easy to learn. Meanwhile, 33% of women chose to play poker because they believe it’s consistently easy to win money. 888poker added: “While 31% of women have never played in any competitive format, it’s clear that the tables are turning and more females are opting to play poker, as only 10% of women have played for 10-plus years, and 13% for five to 10 years.”
