I see that people choosing "I want to try my luck" in the first position and yes, this could be a good reason to know how good our luck but we still need to control ourselves to not stay at the gambling places for a long time. And the second position is "To earn money" which we cannot always earn money, and even we are going to lose more money if we continue to play the game because there is no guarantee for us to make money from gambling.

I realize this question was probably raised before, but I believe that the answers might be changing with time, because bitcointalk community grows and because the interests and needs of people can become different in years. I recall a video on addiction that explained that people mainly become addicted because of feeling sad and lonely. When I made a thread about whether gamblers think that gambling addiction has the same reason, the answers differed a lot. Now I am curious what kind of people are gambling here. Are they mainly looking for money, excitement, socialization? Please vote and leave a comment below in case you want to add something to your answer.
Sometimes I play gambling because I just want to try my luck, sometimes with my spare time depending on a situation and I am not addicted to gambling, I don't know to others who are addicted to gambling because most of them want to earn money because of greediness and that js also can trigger their addiction.
Most of the people gamble for the money, they are looking for some activities that can make money in an instance, that is why there are many people addicted to gambling, some people looking for excitement and way to release stress, hoping that the excitement could make them earn some money, so actually gambling is almost all about money, the difference between good gambler and addicted gambler is how they control themselves to stop
Gamblers wants to earn money and that is why they continue to gamble even if they already know gambling is a risky game. This is the key reason why gamblers are keep on coming back to the casinos or gamble online, they are thinking about making easy money.
Seems like I'm the only one voted on the poll for:
It's a way to spend free time for me
We have different reasons yet each people do have different insight when it comes to gambling. Those things above are common reasons.
Well, its ok to be different sometimes. This can be the reason for the oldies who just want to enjoy their life and make their time worth it. If you can afford to lose money then spending your free time in gambling is pretty good. It's a way to spend free time for me

I voted for "to make money". There are some other reasons like fun but they are secondary. The main reason is always money.
Some people come for money and stay because they get addicted or because they are winning. There's really not many people who do it for for fun.

The only closest option to me was "it is a way to spend free time for me" but it doesn't really tell the whole story. There is no option that puts the entertainment value of gambling into perspective. There are about 30 billion dollars spend on gaming every single year, when I say gaming I mean games like red dead redemption and gta and counter and what not. Now those people think that those games are fun and spend 30 billion dollars together.
I know gamblers do not play for entertainment all the time but there must be some people who do not like games like that but spend that money into gambling instead. Playing poker with 8 other people and waiting for that river to be your card so you can take the whole pot is just too entertaining to stop. Hell even zynga from facebook made a whole company based on "fake money" poker where they literally sell chips to people and make money so they are basically gambling company looking gaming company. Hence, I think entertainment value just like playing a game should not be overlooked.

Everyone is different, but I'm sure most of the main reasons for gambling are looking for profit or money. This is because gambling can generate profits easily and in large numbers, making many people are gambling. I personally gambled to make a profit, but I was still within reasonable limits so I did not become addicted.
Making money is easy as within seconds you either win or lose out completely that simple it is. But losing ratio is more than winning chances and this difference is where lies the success and failure from gambling. If you are on winning side you should be happy and move away rather than becoming too greedy and continuing to play and lose out in the end.
I know the risk of gambling, it will make you loss eventually BUT !!
When I see people win massively , when there are massive promo , sometimes attract me to do something about it.
So when I try to gamble , I know that I'm going to loss but I'm also curious about my luck so I keep gamble for some time !

Well with your choices, it could either be one or all. I'm pretty sure most gamblers have several reasons why they spend time and money on the betting table. Curiosity, the wants and needs for essy money, the excitement, you could add a whole lot more reasons for a gambler.

The main factor in gambling is of course because of money, they gamble with the aim of earning large amounts of money in a short time. Despite the fact of the defeat they get from gambling, yes maybe there are also those who gamble because of hobbies only or just want to find new friends or business relations.
It is to try my luck to earn money but I do it only on my free times with the small money that I can afford to lose. It is very enjoyable when the lucky day has come but at the other days, it will be so sad when the luck doesn't come. As long as I don't ruin my financial, gambling as I hope won't make me crazy to chase huge amount of money, I will keep doing it.

For us is to try our luck, try new games. we always have a fixed Budget to play with every month, we never play for more than we can accept to loose.

The common reasons would be to earn money and only handful of people who are clever would enjoy the time and entertain them self. As this would not stress them even if they lose money would consider it fine as a entertainment fees or something like that but same case if people who want to make money from the gambling start losing their stress level also start increasing.
First I did gambling to get money, but as time went by I did not find satisfaction when getting money and then used as a tool to gamble again. Finally, I thought gambling could not be used as a place to get money passively, sometimes I could get a lot of money but too much I had to spend a lot of money because I was hooked to continue making bets. Because it was considered unnatural, I had paused to gamble and lead a normal life. But the habits that have occurred some time ago I cannot forget, I finally gambled again on the grounds that I wanted to satisfy my passions to make me happy.

I want to try my luck, that's it. 
Trying my luck with small amount to fetch decent amount. I'm not addicted and I'm not a professional gambler but I enjoy as well while I'm trying out my luck. There's no need to go further with that and the amount of money that I'll gamble is limited.

The amounts I gamble aren't going to break the bank. I see gambling as a fun side hobby and it makes sports a lot more exciting. Matches have become kind of boring unless I have money riding on a game. I suspect most people are just after easy money but I have a good time even if I lose.
Most of the time it's because of winning money even they just said it's only for fun or to spend free time but mostly that's the main reason, you're betting money so you desire money as well.
And yes, there are times I only try my luck for just penny to gamble with and not expecting with a bigger win or so but the end of the day even I win there's still times I got bad luck in personal life lmao.

I added both of the options, thanks for suggestions. Well, I guess it could be considered a part of the habit, but it still deserves to be a separate option, because when I wrote 'habit' I meant something people do on regular basis without getting anything positive out of it, while if people gamble during free time, they probably feel like there's something pleasant in it for them.
Habit are something we used to do it in daily basis as you said,only the gamblers who cam here for money or they consider this as job will have the habit of gambling everyday but as hobby we like to do it for somethings like getting patience or spending our free time on it.But more people coming into gambling for making money with trying their luck.
