Abstract

Equality between men and women has also affected women in non-expected ways. Today, the prevalence of female substance abuse is slowly approaching the male level. A similar trend has been seen in gambling with increased numbers of women gambling and developing problems but also seeking help for problems related to gambling. There is reason to believe the same is applicable for gaming. Several studies have revealed that differences in gaming patterns are greater between sexual minority women and heterosexual women than between sexual minority men and heterosexual men. This is an emerging field of study with more research needed.
