2021 Women in Poker Survey
Very little data exists on women in poker. Other than having annual stats on the percentage of women who have played in the World Series of Poker every summer, there is not much other concrete data available to the poker community.
To learn more, the Women’s Poker Association (WPA) and Poker Power came together a few months ago and conducted a survey. The goal was to find out what drives women to play poker – or what prohibits them from doing so. The survey was open to both women and men.
We’re thrilled by the willingness of 438 individuals who took the time to complete the survey, and we are excited to share our findings with you and the poker community.
WPA/Poker Power 2021 Survey Results
The WPA and Poker Power are committed to focusing our energy, programs, and resources in the right areas.
To do this effectively, it was imperative that we had measurable data that we could then convert into action items. From the information we collected in this survey, we learned some extremely valuable information such as what drives women to play, what they find most intriguing about poker and that having a welcoming & positive poker community, is truly the key to continuing the growth of women in poker.
Because a community of positive and like-minded people is so important, the WPA has created a resource hub that is for all things women in poker; introducing the “Women’s Poker Playlist.”
