This is an issue of morality and morality is based on jurisdiction. That is, what is accepted in a country might be unaccepted in another country and vice versa. Whether it is proper for a lady to gamble or not depends on the legislation in that country. On this ground, I will base my discourse on what is obtainable in my country Nigeria. The legislation on gambling did not prohibit a lady from gambling. Only a minor (a person below 18 years) is prohibited from gambling. So, unless the lady is below 18 years then it becomes improper for her to gamble and this is even the same with the male folks.

The rationality behind gambling is to bring pleasure and happiness to people and if this is the sole reason why people should gamble then there is no wrong for a female to gamble because she also desires pleasure and happiness. It is totally out of place to say that gambling is a male thing. Is there any law which confirms it is a male thing? I have searched and I couldn’t find any law in this regard so it is misleading to say that gambling is a male thing. The only thing I know is that it is common to see more males in some form of gambling than females like Sports betting and it is also common to see women playing Bingo than you see men. This justifies that there is nothing wrong with a lady gambling.

It's a matter of morality but not every job that is morally right are suitable for women.
