Women are to a greater extent likely to spiel chance-based games, patch men are more potential to wager on sports, according to unexampled explore from affiliate BritishGambler.co.uk.

A work conducted 'tween 1 Jan and 31 July analysed unexampled depositing customers’ behaviour crosswise 526 UK gambling websites. BritishGambler also interviewed 850 people to see to a greater extent nearly players’ motivations.
