The UK reports that online casinos are quickly appealing to the female market as well, who find online gambling safer and more enjoyable than visiting land-based casinos. The Gambling Commission polled 5000 people and found that 9.9 percent of them gambled in the beginning of 2009, an increase from 7.2 percent in 2006. Finally, they found that 7.7 percent of the women polled had tried gambling online at the start of 2009 compared to just 5 percent in 2006.
