A "gamer" is someone who plays interactive games, such as video games or tabletop games.
Although the term "gamer" may commonly refer to video game players, the
term may also be applied to players of other forms of games, such as
tabletop games or physical games. Additionally, in some countries such
as the United Kingdom, the term "gaming" refers to legalized gambling,
which can take both traditional (tabletop) and digital forms (akin to
video games), so in these areas gamers may also refer to people who
gamble. The term also includes people who work on methods to gamify technologies relevant to gameplay.
Videogamers
In the United States, the average video game player is 30 years old and has been playing video games for over 12 years.
In the UK as of 2007, the average video game player was over 23 years
old, had played video games for over 10 years, and spent around 11 hours
a week playing video games

Female Gamer/Gamer girl
A female gamer/gamer girl is any female who regularly engages in playing
video games. According to a study conducted by the Entertainment
Software Association in 2009, 40% of the game playing population is
female, and women 18 or older now comprise 34% of all gamers. Also, the
percentage of women playing online had risen to 43%, up 4% from 2004.
The same study shows that 48% of game purchasers are female. Usage of the term "girl gamer" is controversial. Some critics have advocated use of the label as a reappropriated term,
while others see it as nondescriptive or perpetuating the minority
position of female gamers. Some critics of the term believe there is no
singular definition of a female gamer and that they are as diverse as
any other group.
