I think there is no other reason than the opportunity to earn money, or it can also be said that one of the biggest reasons a gambler is so addicted to gambling is because of the hope and belief that they will be able to get a lot of wins, but basically besides money there are also other reasons why someone is so fond of gambling, it could also be because of the entertainment aspect in the activity.
So in conclusion, in my opinion, there are two reasons that make gamblers so addicted to gambling, the first is because of the goal of pursuing victory, and the second is because gambling can also be used as a place to find entertainment, especially when someone has a lot of free time without any activities, but from most of the cases that we often find, usually most of them are gamblers who make money their main goal.
The two reasons above also cause differences in terms of the amount of loss, and I think it is clear that making winning a priority can have an impact on losing money in greater amounts, because usually when a gambler is obsessed with winning, all his actions tend to be excessive, such as in terms of betting the amount of money, while when the goal is nothing more than entertainment, usually the amount bet will not be too large.

What's all with all of these old threads being necrobumped by somebody? You have to look guys at how old the thread was.
We've got also bunch of these threads answering the question about why people becomes addicted to gambling.

What often makes people addicted to gambling is the curious effect in the game. What I mean is that when we play we think that we can determine the results, so every round we continue to enjoy it without realizing that we waste so much money just for curiosity.
What makes them addicted is different for every person. For some it's the adrenaline, others are greedy and one win makes them think they can keep on doing it.
I know a few heavy gamblers, but none of them is so addicted that they'd do it every day. They just usually can't stop themselves from going back to gambling, be it once a week, or once a month. It's a part of their life. The man that is really deep in this is pretty poor and old. I feel like he thinks that his only chance of ever being rich is to win in a casino.

In fact, if you can't control yourself then problems arise. It's not that when you lose in gambling, you have a problem, I have seen many people who gambled regularly and won but at some point, they became psychologically damaged. If you keep winning for a long time and every time you hit a big winning streak, a fantasy will develop inside you. You will feel different from everyone else and will be bound to think that you have discovered a very easy way of earning. Then you don't want to work anymore, you will always think that you can only gamble, what will happen if you work!! After that, if you ever lose, you go to chase it, thus slowly getting into an illusion and eventually becoming addicted. So it is better not to enter gambling before becoming mature.

A lot of people dont wanna admit they got a gambling problem. Its like any other bad habit - denial comes real easy. Even placing the odd bet here and there can be problematic, specially if it messes with your finances or relationships. The addictive nature of gambling can make it difficult to control, even for those who dont gamble daily.
I also know a few such "heavy" gamblers who will never admit to being addicted but at the same time struggle to quit, even though their "hobby" is already negatively impacting other areas of their lives.

Firstly money and secondly games, some people think of gambling as fun and a stress reliever for them, where when they gamble they feel like all the problems in worldly life feel like they are gone without a burden, that's where they feel there is enjoyment when gambling.Have you ever seen people gambling sitting at a table or in front of a laptop from morning to night, only time is spent gambling, those are those who are addicted to gambling, they are no longer aware of their responsibilities, gambling can make them calm and enjoyable, that's gambling and addicted.
Most people are addicted to gambling, in my opinion, it is the lure of victory and success that can be achieved instantly in gambling, in my opinion that is what makes many people addicted to gambling in pursuit of victory.
Actually, What makes people addicted to gambling is the way wagering money releases dopamine and other neurotransmitters in our brain, which are mostly retaled to the risk-reward emotions and feeling deeply rooted within all of us.
Problem gambling is characterized as a behavioral problem in many cases, but also could be called to be a neuro-chemical unbalance, that is why sometimes it is effective to treat problem gambling with the help of drugs and psycho-active medicines.
I recall some experiments which were performed on moneys and gambling, to study whether they were able to also suffer from addiction, and indeed they can.

I feel like it's the interest,the first impression that they got and received about gambling initially.I mean that could literally have triggered their mental strength and excitement to indulge in gambling.However,I think gambling addiction has a psychological effect on someone at the very first sight or mention of it; because the curiosity and ecstasy is what makes them want to explore it and play further.

That is called another thing or better it is synonymous to victory but most people are after the max win or a jackpot or a life changing event. Personally when I used to gamble as I don't anymore it was because of trying to hit the huge max win of over x100.000 in there, I have won with minimum bet x11339 which is my max multiplier I have got in gambling in a slot machine called Return of the Green Knight from Play n Go provider, honestly one of the best if the best ever provider, one which does not cheat on RTP compared to Pragmatic which are well known cheaters to the RTP thing. Anyway if you don't gamble it is better for you but if you do be ready to accept the consequences, or cheat in the RTP, losing after losing session, losing huge amounts of money are all normal part of gambling, normal people which think, surely don't get addicted.

Some other points we could figure out which led to the increasing rate for addiction were as follows.
1. Joblessness
2. Lack of being disciplined
3. lack of getting exposed
4. Inability of expression of interest on learning
5. gambling on old pattern way or systems
6. desperation for making money while gambling
7. Pride and greed when gambling
We could just keep on counting them as many as possible until the page is full, because some are just into what they don't know how they got into it neither do they know the way out of it as well.

A person can get involved in gambling in many ways especially many people think that gambling can make them rich overnight and unknowingly become a gambler from this tempting offer. Many consider gambling as a means of making money and he becomes so serious that he is later known as an addicted gambler. Many people choose gambling as one of the main means of entertainment due to which some people become addicted to gambling. Others take gambling as a means of entertainment to pass the time of loneliness and because of this some become addicted to gambling.Do you know anyone who is heavily into gambling?

Some of them are because they do not have other activities so they continue to gamble and besides, they have a target to have money in gambling so they continue to gamble every day. There may be many more factors that make someone become a gambling addict, including because they have experienced many wins in gambling, so they think or assume they can continue to do it and or get it even though in reality, their efforts that continue to be made do not always give good results. Thus, they have gone too deep into gambling, making it difficult for them to avoid gambling because gambling has been considered their main activity every day.
The profit from the gambling will make the gamblers addicted o the gambling for the longer period of time.Even the gamblers make many loss in a row,the bulk win for few times will make the gamblers addicted to get that big money again in the same gambling site.Also he get more confidence in their game,when the game bring many winning to his wallet.Regular play in the gambling will make the gambler to make money in the gambling site.Because he may get more adaptable to the environment of that gambling site to make more money.
Wow... A thread from 9 years ago is active again. 
I don't think it's necessary to wake up an old thread, because for me this question is already very common with several other threads that lead to questions about gambling addiction.
It's pretty much the same as the other threads that are still active.

It all started with curiosity, then someone started gambling with the little money they had. And the unexpected happened, where the little money they bet turned into many times more. This victory is what makes them gamble again and bet with a larger amount than usual. Which even though over time it turns into a defeat, they will never ignore the defeat they experience, in fact when they experience defeat, their desire to gamble becomes stronger because there is a desire to return what has been lost. And the more defeats they experience, the more difficult it will be for them to stop gambling, because they often think about how to stop gambling without empty hands, at least they have to win first to return the defeat they experienced.
This pretty much describes the process which most of those that develop some issues with gambling go through, at the beginning they simply want to obtain some fun, but once they realize the potential profits they can get, they immediately switch their objective and they look for ways to become profitable, and even if they eventually realize this is not possible, they will still strive to recover the money they have lost so far, a huge mistake as it is unlikely they will ever accomplish this goal.

Gambling addiction is psychological and it only progresses overtime if not properly dealt with. In my opinion people get addicted to gambling because they must won a huge amount probably as a beginner, it can be very addicting when you see how easy it is to make a lot of money in less than a minute, but just as it's easy to win it's way easier to lose everything. Another thing that makes people addicted is when they get trapped in the cycle of chasing their losses, this is probably the worst condition to find yourself, once you get entagled with this it will be difficult to quit.
Indeed, greed is the reason why people mostly get addicted to gambling because the amounts you can possibly win from gambling are too tempting and that temptation makes a person keep coming back and eventually get addicted. Casinos and their creators know the weaknesses of gamblers, so they use their weaknesses against them. If you show large bonuses and huge payouts to gamblers, most of them will get fooled and will get easily tempted by that.
One can only be safe from gambling addiction if they already know about it because then they will have this thing in mind whenever they gamble, and they will try their best not to get addicted. Some may pass this test but some still fail, they forget everything they have known once they start winning some money.
