One area where research almost always agrees is the rate of female addiction and its incidence in male counterparts.
According to Shaffer H and his study on the prevalence of disordered gambling behavior, 20.1% of male gamblers exhibit symptoms of problem gambling as opposed to just 7.1%.
Now, this study was done all the way back in 1999, which might question its validity, but numerous examples of gambling addiction by gender support the claim that women just tend to be less vulnerable to addiction.
