It is true that both reasons for gambling bring a gambler back again and again. Some gamblers are motivated to win more after they win and some lose and come back to recover that money. If one can enjoy the pleasure of gambling for once, he will definitely try to continue gambling. Every gambler should be calm in that situation. Greed will work in gamblers but if they control that greed they will not suffer rather they will gain more. If someone acquires a good knowledge of self-control before gambling, they can do relatively better in gambling.
If they can't control their greed, they will continue to lose money, especially if they can't control themselves in trying to recover from previous losses. They will not be able to enjoy gambling as entertainment, instead, they will chase victory, which will be more difficult. It is better that they can control themselves to prevent the greed that will come to them, especially when they can win at gambling. They will not experience more losses because of the self-control they have exercised, and they can use gambling as entertainment.

Not only someone who is addicted to gambling, but anyone anywhere who has the intention or purpose of using gambling to be able to provide personal gain will certainly not think of abusing gambling, for example, someone who has a crime case related to large amounts of will definitely only think of using gambling as a a place to launder all the money in order to get rid of evidence or traces of crime.
That's natural because everyone, especially those who are still beginners, have more high curiosity and don't even care about the risks involved and the most important thing is that they prioritize to be able to win, win and win in greater numbers.
Whether they win or lose, I think they will keep coming back to gambling because gambling has changed the point of view, way of thinking and also the initial purpose of getting into gambling.
For those who are already fond of gambling it will still be difficult to avoid gambling again and the shadow of defeat appears every time which makes the feeling of wanting to get back the lost money in.
They will think about how to achieve their goals and intentions, perhaps they will even try to use them for illegal activities that the casino prohibits. But they don't care and will do it anyway. When someone has had fun playing gambling, they will return another day and perhaps use more money. And that has happened to other people who have played gambling more often, but in getting wins, they are still having trouble. Only good self-control can stop gamblers from sinking too deep into gambling and prevent problems that can occur while gambling. But if they only want to win, it won't be easy for them to stop gambling or even take a break from gambling for a while.

Abuse can be done from all elements that meet the requirements to do so. in gambling, it doesn't feel right if someone becomes addicted to gambling and then we categorize it as abuse. if we refer to the OP thread, especially those related to drugs, which should be redeemed through a doctor's prescription. we can conclude, if someone buys it illegally then clearly he has made a mistake and is included in the category of abuse.
But for gambling, IMO it is very biased if we try to compare it. At present gambling is included in the category of types of entertainment in the modern era, in fact there are many countries that have legalized it. legally every gambler who becomes an addict, is the result of his own fault. So, no abuse in this case. well, as I said above, gambling abuse can be done from all elements that qualify to abuse it. for example, cheating on the casino, or, trying to sell an account that is actually not allowed by the casino. there are many other examples, which fall into the category of abuse. however, not for gamblers who become addicts.
Abuse occurs when we use it excessively. So in terms of gambling, if we use gambling excessively or in the sense that we exceed the limits we set, it means that we have abused the use of gambling intended to get entertainment. But instead, we use gambling as a way to earn income where it will not always work. Maybe some people can get money from gambling, but many are not successful and instead lose a lot of money.
So if someone uses gambling excessively, he has the risk of losing more money and also becoming addicted. It will start from being addicted to playing different gambling games again until he finally becomes comfortable playing gambling. And if they remain oblivious to what they are doing, the addiction will grow and eventually develop into a full-blown gambling addiction.
