As the online gambling industry has grown, so too has the role of women within it. Today, not only are there more women players than ever before, but there are also a number of highly prominent women running the industry. From software developers to casino operators, gambling charities, regulators and other organisations linked to the industry, women play an extremely prominent role.
For example, Malta is one of Europe’s most important iGaming hubs with many developers and operators based there. There are around 6,000 people employed by the gambling sector in Malta and women make up roughly 43% of the workforce. While this is not quite a 50/50 split, it is still a significant number. Perhaps more importantly, women occupy 28% of all boardroom positions, which is above the UK and US national averages.
In this article, we shall introduce you to some of the most important women in the gambling industry and look at the impact they have had.
