Why is it masculine?

Jogador is masculine because it derives from the Latin "iocator" (masculine), which comes from "iocus" (a joke or game), and Portuguese inherited the masculine gender from this Latin root. The "-or" suffix in Portuguese typically creates masculine agent nouns (like "professor," "ator"), which reinforced this gender assignment.
