Thanks for your feedback, I did not think that people mainly gambled to earn money. I mean, it makes sense that people want to increase income, but I thought is was pretty obvious that the majority of people loses money in this field and only a couple of games even allow theoretically to have regular income.
OP can we have some options added to the pool like "want to try my luck",because my main reason for the gambling is to try my luck from time to time which maybe fall under get some excitement option but still trying luck is more on to the point why we are gambling.

Good suggestion, I also want to suggest OP to add "spending spare time/having fun/entertainment" although most people gamble for money but I myself gamble for spending spare time as well as spare money obviously and I believe I'm not the only one who gamble just for fun. Or maybe having fun is something which is considered as "its just a habit"?
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.

If I could vote 2 I would choose 2 option and I think for me in the way that I gamble I would choose first is I just want to try my luck, I surely gamble from time to time is to just try my luck, I am not a competitive gambler and I am just a casual gambler It means for me gambling is just one of many forms of recreational activities and I have a variety of other hobbies and interests,

And the second that I choose which for me is never that important and there is a thinking that gambling has a risk involved in it is for the sake of money, And yes I really think that most gamblers will sure consider the money they can take home, All gamblers will think that way, But I just choose this as a second option or just a bonus when I try my luck.

It is very relevant option which can be added as generally gambling is all about the luck in majority of the games and people try their luck if they can win big or not. Hope they can control them self and if they lose will move away and  not continue for longer time else will lose more rather than winning it.

I voted to earn money because as a gambler myself, that's the reason why i'm playing and not because of entertainment or anything. I wanted to have a big money in a short period of time and gambling can fulfill that even the chances are slim. Once you decided to play, big or small delosit, your aim is to win and not because you are seeking fun or whatsoever.

I personally think it's money and also the excitement of gambling and the rush of winning money; the former is a big part of why I gamble, mainly for the rush of gambling that I don't often get anywhere else. I do obviously want to make money as well, but I don't ever gamble more than I can afford. I've been doing this method of gambling since I got into cryptocurrency in late 2014-early 2015, and this system has worked for me since then.

I've noticed something else in this thread as well- it seems you can only click on one response in the poll. Is this a limitation of the forum, or is there a way to configure this so that more options can be chosen at once?

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.
