Men are more likely to develop a gambling problem than women.

Yes, statistically, it has been observed that men are more likely to develop gambling problems than women.

Recognizing the signs of problem gambling and seeking help when needed is crucial for individuals of all genders to address and overcome gambling-related challenges.

Not only men, I think there is no specific genders when it comes addiction on gambling. In people with gambling addiction, the brain's reward system can become hypersensitive to dopamine, leading them to seek out the thrill of gambling even when it's causing financial and personal harm.

I think I can agree with this, because men are more vulnerable to use gambling as way to cope with their problems and men may experience more peer pressure to engage in gambling activities than women, I might wrong with this but this is my own opinion.

I don't want to be biased when it comes to this matter, so I will just base on research that men are generally more likely than women, studies says because of social and cultural factors, that men are often take the risk and they expose early at gambling because of peer pressure.

I agree with that because men may have easier access to gambling activities due to factors like location, peer influences, or work-related factors. Increased exposure to gambling opportunities can contribute to a higher likelihood of developing a gambling problem.

EXACTLY!!! Men may experience more peer pressure to participate in gambling activities, especially in male-dominated social circles.
