I will choose honestly what I currently do in gambling.
Probably agree to the votes, and it would always depend on the gambler, I mean we all have different reasons but its obvious that most of people want money and an adrenaline rush, I guess it was just fun when you are at that feeling and at the same time you are earning or winning your bets, Personally I gamble for both money and adrenaline as well, But I always go for small bet with high prize, most of the time I could easily do 20$ with a combo win winning up to 600$ in a combo bet, which is quite fun I would say, probably a lot of gamblers here do as that as well, I always bet on sports, like Basketball, Esports like Dota, etc.
I would still say that all of it was still going to end up because we wanted to win some money at least, if we just want some kind of entertainment I don't really think that gambling is what we need, if you want that go play games, go on places that your actually going to get entertain, yes gambling could entertain you but it wasn't just entertainment, you could also get a lot of feeling like for example stress, etc.

I would like to focus on the “other” point. For example, the aspect of gambling for social reasons. For some people, gambling is a way to socialize and communicate. This is especially true for games that require cooperative activities or teamwork, such as card games or board game tournaments. People can come together for fun, to discuss tactics and strategies, and to strengthen personal connections.
I also accept that very social reasons aspect of gambling, am a victim of this circumstances , yeah, growing up within few of friends wasn't that easy for me at some point where whenever we are together I usually don't have anything to contribute whenever they start having this conversation of gambling especially that of the football betting from different leagues, nations and all of that, I usually feel left out and at some point I had to become enthusiastic about it, I began to fans Arsenal team because my cousins is one of them and the whole thing became more interesting till date, that's quite funny though.
Many gambling players cannot admit to themselves why they are gambling, although it is obvious that everyone is in it for the money. The fact is that big money can change anyone's life, destroying all the usual hateful foundations. All the annoying everyday reality that hangs like shackles on each of us. And many of us live like this for decades, unable to change the environment. And the hope that everything will change leads every gambler, and you need to have the strength to admit it.
Yes, maybe it's really very hard to digest what's on the gamblers mind, on why they play or chasing wins or that big money. Or maybe they just want that adrenaline rush because it's a totally different experience for us.
The thing is that it can also make us addicted to it and it's not good. Mentally and financially we will get REKT, so even if we like to chase in gambling, there should also be in a balance. If we lose, then take it as it is and just be glad that you got the experience, the rush but it's not meant for you to win tonight.
Money is the bottomline for most gamblers. Who wouldn't want money after placing a bet? Because that's mainly the driving force of gamblers.
Some set of gamblers are little less bothered everytime they lose; personally, I don't even go back to 'em bad tickets to see why or what game spoilt them.. Professional gambling players are not the same as those of us who are still very new to gambling and continue to expect big profits with minimal capital.
If you don't want to go back on that bad ticket, of course it's an option.
But you won't know what really happens if you don't try it firsthand
There are a lot of players on the forum and it's always interesting to understand each other's motivations, which can sometimes be surprising and unexpected ...
Well, gambling to earn money is not surprising at all as we all aim for that. Even for those who are rich gamblers, their main goal is still to make more money. What may be surprising is that you only gamble just because you have no other means to dispose your money and so you take the risk in gambling. While others gambling could give them relaxation and get free from the stressful day job, but majority do gamble in order to feed their greed and make more money as much as possible.The mistake is in the mindset, where they think that they can get profit easily and quickly and also when they have got it sometimes they still want more, this is the main problem. Very few people gamble with the aim of relaxation.
I don't think there's a direct answer to this question. Certainly, we all like money, the more the better; no one denies that, nor does anyone enjoy losing. However, aiming to make money through gambling is quite problematic and a wrong perception of gambling; the largest majority of gamblers whose goal is to make money ends up losing more in the long run, and most of them never admit it. From how I see things, it's a combination of all these options the OP has specified in his poll.
Money never hurt anyone, but it's not my main goal; I usually bet relatively small amounts; thus, it's unreasonable to expect unrealistic returns. With that being said, I'm more inclined to answer that it's a combination of feeling the adrenaline rush and relieving stress, which basically falls under the same category.

I love to win but that is not the main reason why I gamble. I am a lover of sports, so most of my gambling activities are on sports betting. I place bets because it gives me the opportunity to analyse matches, yea in a lucrative way 
. Doing this is not just about me passing time or seeking for the money, no! I have other sources of income I can make money from. Analysing matches is one fun activity I love to do. It's fun and satisfying.

Seems like 30% think like me and gamble because adrenaline. The most of people (44%) are there to win money, but I believe that is not wise because it is more probable to lose it. When going to gamble you have to be aware that every game is designed for you to lose, so the best way is to gamble just the amount dedicated for gambling and not go further with bets after gambling fund is depleted.
Well, going further to place bets even after losses is much like chasing losses and there's no good emotion that comes from the drive to recover from a loss, but still loss more. What's important for one is not as important for another and that's why when I count more winnings I just cash out instead of allowing more losses for whatever reasons ranging from boredom to cashing out big.

Uhmm... People tend to have different, and like I mean way different reasons as to why they do a whole lot of things... What you listed above on the poll is just few out of a thousand reasons.
For me, I find myself doing things like that when I'm less busy (not practically that there's nothing to do at the time) but that I just need to cool off. At the same time, I wanna be on the phone.

A little thought about money in our minds when starting a gambling will definitely think, it might not be eliminated from our minds as gamblers, whether it triggers adrenaline, spending time like what is in the choice that the op gave, a little lot of us we have Orientation of money in gambling.I answered that even though sometimes I was just for fun, but I thought that maybe today was my lucky day to break the long crystal ball and victory that I had never gotten before.
Money is the bottomline for most gamblers. Who wouldn't want money after placing a bet? Because that's mainly the driving force of gamblers. We can't discard such fact that money is the main attraction of these games. Even rich people have that kind of target as they bet big to get huge winnings. Just for entertainment purposes, to pass time are usually secondary reasons. But the common goal of most gamblers is surely to win at the end of every bet, whether luck-based or in sportsbetting game.
However, as a gambler you should know where you stand especially with your financials because most of the time you will be on the losing end, so should be prepared on this aspect as well. Don't rely from anyone, whether you can borrow money or not.

I love gambling for the excitement it brings, especially if I'm placing my bet in a betting house. I enjoy the energy and the vibe fellow gamblers bring, and the game, I sure love the feeling I get when I watch a game with my friends that we bet on.
But definitely, the feeling I get when I win gambling is more. I enjoy winning my games. I don't know for other people, but there is no way I'm investing my money, no matter how little, I wouldn't want it back. It's not fun when you keep putting your money somewhere and it keeps going, because it's more like I'm just giving casinos and gambling sites money to grow their business.
I definitely enjoy the win, so the money, the vibe, and it's a good way to relax too. Also, it's an intellectual flex for me, especially when I switch to games like Poker & Dice. It makes me crack my brain, and I do enjoy such brain and mind games.

For me, I gamble most of the time to just pass time, that is like example, the day I am back from work early and having nothing to do, I could lay down to sleep but sleep is not yet forthcoming, so instead of me just laying there and thinking about one thing or the other that isn't really of any importance, I simply pick of my phone, log into my preferred casino at that moment, and start playing either casino or slot games, or betting on live matches.
So if you do not feel sleepy and you open your phone and start gambling on a casino or betting on a betting site. Will that make you feel sleepy very fast? I do not gamble at night but in the afternoon, evening or early part of the night. I think I will have to try this to know if it will also make me sleep fast. Provided if it makes you sleep faster. I will like to gamble some games on Stake at the time.. But I understood that now. You only use it to make the time you have not slept fun and not boring. I know how it can be at night when someone wants to sleep but not feeling sleepy. I prefer to watch movie at the time instead.I am a lover of movies also, and I can actually tell you that I actually prefer to spend such nights watching movies too, but unfortunately, the neighborhood I live in at the moment don't have 24 hours supply of electricity, we mostly have light during the day and don't have at nights, so this is the reason why I choose gambling due to absence of other options.
Let me also mention that this is also the time some people usually will use to scroll endlessly through their social media timeline, (like my wife does), but I am not a social media person, and neither do I enjoy watching movies on small screens like phone or laptop, so, gambling remains my best choice of what to do to have fun at such nights when there's no power supply.

To avoid addiction be prepared to lose more while gambling and spend time for entertainment.
What is addiction in the first place? I personally define it as loving something too much, and overdoing it to the extent it becomes glued to our brain, that is, the brain have become used to that thing that it can no longer function properly without it.
A person can be winning or losing, or having a good balance in-between the two, and still end up as a gambling addict, all falls down to how he or she treated gambling.
I always post about the intentions of we gamblers. 100% among us gamble to win money. But not all of us that gamble to earn money through gambling.
Earning money means to see gambling as a means of making daily, weekly or monthly income. That is a bad idea.
If most of us do not gamble with money, it is not interesting at all. But I gamble with small amount of money. I do not like to lose. That is just the fact. But if I lose, it is just a small amount of money.
Normally the essence of gambling is to win and every gambler wish to make this win but some gamblers make mistakes in taking gambling win so serious because at the end there will be so much expectation and one wouldn't mind in using so much in gambling because of good returns of money. It is better to just have the mindset of having fun in gambling and even if their is no win, their won't be emotions, I think this is the right way of enjoying gambling.Earning money means to see gambling as a means of making daily, weekly or monthly income.

Those who expect to earn in gambling don't even believe gambling is unpredicted that is why they believe they can rely in and bet with so much money to get a good returns.
