Women Making Bets: Sports Betting Sees Surge in Female Fans and Initiatives to Engage Them
USA: Sports betting platforms report a dramatic increase in female bettors, now comprising about 30–35% of the user base—up from 20% in 2020. Major operators like FanDuel and DraftKings are launching campaigns featuring female analysts and collaboration with women’s leagues (WNBA, NWSL). Studies show women place fewer but slightly larger bets on average, often drawn by social aspects. Some see it as progress toward inclusive gaming, while others warn about problem-gambling risk. Industry watchers expect continued growth as Gen Z and Millennial women embrace casual sports wagering.
What this means for you:
If you’re a woman new to sports betting, expect more apps and guides tailored to you.
Make sure to practice responsible gambling—set strict budgets or time limits.
Social angles, like “Betting Ladies Night,” may appear, adding networking or friendly competition.
Keep an eye on any backlash or regulatory changes, especially if problematic betting behaviors spike.
