When I was starting out, it was all about how to make money and finding ways to make money, but eventually I learned its not easy, whether it's sports betting or games in casinos; then it becomes the adrenaline rush that you missed when you were looking for ways to make money.
I guess its on the stage where we are in gambling; you start to gamble to make money, then you move on just for the adrenaline rush or to escape from problems, or it goes either way; you are looking for a rush, and then you become addicted to making money.

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 ...
Of a truth there are so many reasons why a gambler gambles and it's based on individuals feelings and desires but in the contrary some gamblers take this as a livelihood and so they do it with their full chest but for me I see it as a way of relieving oneself from stress and enjoying the moment while doing so but alongside it's more useful if you add up with a win.

All the choices you made are very true, everyone has different reasons why he decides to gamble, including me. If you ask me, of course i would say the main reason is to have fun, feel the adrenaline in every game whether it's Mahjong or something else. When it comes to money, i will say honestly, the intention to win money is of course there, especially when losing, the intention to make up for the previous loss is even greater, sometimes to the point of depleting my savings, hoping to make up for the previous loss.

the first reason is obviously to win money, no one wants to gamble just to lose their money, they certainly hope that they will win money. but the other reason for me is to have fun, i don't really mind that at times i can lose, because the point for me to gamble is that i can have a little activity where i can play some money and can escape from my stress or problems.

There are so many reasons why we all gamble. Alot of which will tell you it's for the fun of it, but the true intentions are to make money. There's no one who doesn't enjoy the feeling of getting a reward after every round. Yes losses is inevitable but as a gambler we get to live with it if you want to have fun. For me personally, I enjoy the games and the rush it brings into my body when I play. It's not that the money or wins don't interest me the most but I play without thinking too much about it. 
I wonder if we have a thread like this in the past. While the poll is limited it's still a good data source assuming people vote regularly. I'd suggest OP keep updating this thread once in a while to push the thread back. That being said, it can turn into spam quite fast if the discussion is not moderated at all. At the time of writing, we get around 35 replies but only 20 votes so it shows that some people don't vote but comment on the thread. Not really a big deal but do suggest that the nature of this topic can lead to spam.
I would choose several points: of course, it is a feeling of excitement and adrenaline and as a bonus it is the possibility of winning money, this is the basis of gambling. The point "escape from reality" in the form of stress and problems is a very dangerous point, since this is already emotional instability and this is a signal that it is time to contact a specialist, since these are the first steps to depression and addiction.

Kinda wanted to answer two, passing time and the adrenaline rush. Nothing new nor interesting really, but it is exciting! I mean I'm pretty sure a lot of us, regardless of goals, always feel that adrenaline rush every now and then. And not that I hate money tbf, if I win then great really. Just that, I like to think of money as a sort of bonus to whenever I play. Like somehow I'm playing an MMO of sorts and I just get some real life money out of nowhere every now and then after some side quests lol. Makes for not making it my main goal (and not chasing it) a lot easier.
I could list several options, but the most important thing to me is having a good time. I have no illusions, and I always remember that gambling can hardly be assessed as a place where I am guaranteed to be given some bonuses and profit, so I am not an active player, and I play only when I have free time and extra money. But of course, without a rush of adrenaline and the desire to win, no game will pass, which means you can answer all the points simultaneously.

There are many reasons for us to gamble, apart from winning money. basically we will always be interested in something that attracts attention, especially those that contain prizes or money. initially we are interested and try because there is a reward in a gambling game, to where we have experience and understanding of gambling itself. from the poll you posted in this thread I am pretty sure the choices you provide can represent what we want to say. for example, sometimes we feel bored and want to spend time gambling. can also escape from the problems being faced, or want the adrenaline sensation of betting or gambling. we have various reasons, what is certain is that the involvement of money and its prizes cannot be separated. well, in some cases we gamble for a specific purpose, yes like the points you made a poll. but it all depends on the situation and conditions, it doesn't have to be with money. although, money can never be separated from gambling.
I hate it when I lose and I guess most gamblers feel the same way.
When I am winning though, it feels different and I enjoy playing again but there's this greed that is like a black hole sucking you in and you always want more after a high multiplier win.
Still, I am choosing the "win". Who doesn't want to win?
That's the real purpose on why many people gamble, they want to win but sometimes it just gets out of hand and gamblers lose control and so there comes addiction or financial problems. Thankfully, I am not there yet and I have no intention to be in that position. If I lose, I'd rather take my rest.
My thoughts and feelings in the game are similar to yours, and if I lose, I close the game and will not return there for several days, sometimes even weeks, if the loss is larger. But when I win, I watched as my blood pressure jumps, my heart starts beating faster than usual and I want to win more. This can be called awakened greed, or something else, but I want to win more and more, there is even such a fairy tale that one man could not stop when gold coins were flying at him. I compare myself with him and understand that from the outside it looks funny, you always need to take your winnings and leave without great stupidity and not believe that gold coins will rain down on us endlessly.When I am winning though, it feels different and I enjoy playing again but there's this greed that is like a black hole sucking you in and you always want more after a high multiplier win.

My motivations for gambling is not static, it is dynamic. It changes from time to time. There are days I play with the intention to win and when I don't it hurts even though I use money that I can afford to lose. There are other days that it is to burn off steam. It happens rarely but it does happen. To pass time, yes. On some other days, it is a combination of all of them, three of them, two of them. It changes but the principles and strategies behind them it don't change. You must gamble responsibly regardless of my motivations.

Understanding the motives of other players through online forums or through gambling forum can help us to understand the motives of other gamblers and also gives us the opportunities to understand the reasons we are gambling. However, I believed that if one don't respond to you, you can not know their minds. You can know the motive of a gambler through the way he speaks, although some day they gamble for fun but while they gamble and lose they become depressed and angry.

Gambler feel all of these motivations, some most of the time, others from time to time Quote
Win money / Escape stress or problems / Feel an adrenaline rush / Pass the time,
I feel all of these all the time I gamble; we are just humans; even if we gamble to get out from stress, we are sometimes motivated to win money when there is a chance to win money, and there are times that we missed the adrenaline rush after some days of not playing. My main motivation to play is to escape stress because I miss the adrenaline and had thoughts about winning money.

It's hard to choose only one.
I think I don't gamble for the same reason all the time. There are times when I'm in the mood to make money by gambling. I sometimes have this funny illusion that it's my lucky day, so I gamble.
At other times, I gamble because I'm bored and I don't seem to have anything else to do. Sometimes, it's my friends who invite and convince me to gamble.
However, I never gambled because I'm in a deep emotional state.

If I am to choose, I'll select the three.
- Win money
- escape stress or problems
- pass time
To be honest, these are the reasons why a gambler gambles. We tend to think of the money, to have fun and to just pastime.
The three things you said above are obviously one of the reasons for someone to gamble, but when someone is able to take responsibility in the gambling they do, of course these 3 things will not have the potential to make someone addicted, but what we see now happening is the opposite of what you say, when someone gambles to win money, escape from stress and pass time, in the end they only lose money which causes a lot of wasted time to chase uncertain winnings, so in the end they are trapped with a greater sense of stress and frustration with the new problems that come into their lives due to gambling, so in the end maybe they will look for an other escape from the existing problems instead of just stress - Win money
- escape stress or problems
- pass time

I choose three options which is escape stress but not problems because problems should not be avoid but it needs to be solved by us. While pass the time is a good selection for me because if I have a spare time, I will use it for playing gambling but that will not be the activities that I will always do.
While other reason is have fun inside the gambling. These three options will be my choice to playing gambling but I realize that other people will have their own choice that will be different than me. Some of them will choose win money so that will not be a problem for me because every people will have their responsibility of what they choose.
