In my view, no one wants to gamble for fun even they are showcasing themselves like they do gamble only for fun. If a gambler wants only fun they just playing a video game or just watching a horror or thriller movie will be more than enough to find those similar entertainments. There will be no need of spending hard earned money for finding pleasures.
Gambling thrills only for the people who risk their money. They do expect big fortune for their spending. If it happens or there will be any symptoms of any positive approach then they do get big excitement which makes them keep trying. Usually they do lose at some point of time and then do call themselves as fun seeking gambler.
Most gamblers usually follow some well assumed steps like these :
Step-1 : Gamble with real money
Step-2 : If get profits then go to step-1, else go to step-3
Step-3 : Declare : found the real worth of money. Still go to step-1

There is only a thrill in gambling when you have a chance to lose.
It is not actually the winning that drives the gambling, it is the excitement that you get from the chance of winning and losing when gambling.
If you play for play money, there will be little excitement.
I agree that there is no thrill if you can't lose money but I also think there is better ways for thrill and fun and that's why I don't buy whole "i gamble for fun" reason. It is not actually the winning that drives the gambling, it is the excitement that you get from the chance of winning and losing when gambling.

Beside, whoever entered casino for first time in his life didn't do it because of thrill, he entered casino because someone bragged with big win or something. No one remembers thrill and loses next day and everyone remembers only how much money they've won.
I used to play poker with my friends and I can tell you that the difference between playing without money and playing with just a little bit (like 1 € or 1 $) is huge. When we were playing with just chips nobody cared a lot about the result and were going all in pretty loose. Then, we started playing Sit and Goes with just 1 € (plus 1 rebuy) and people were playing tighter and they were more thrilled, even though 1 € is nothing for us.
People play different when they want to win money no matter how small amount is. They care about their money and they want to win money, otherwise you and your friends would have go all in - after all it is very small amount, right? Correct me if I am wrong. 
Money brings fun factor to gambling, without money it can't be called gambling,I agree on that but I don't agree that people are gambling only for fun and not to win money.
Simply because when you play with real money you are gambling, and when you are playing without real money you are just playing... The excitement feeling is different, your imagination doesn't go ahead. Even if you gamble for fun, your imagination creates different possibilities, like winning some nice amount of money. It "plays" with our brain, our emotional. Without money makes no sense, losing, winning... Both will result in nothing.
Gamblers play to feel satisfaction in the end, without money they won't feel anything...
I don't see any logic in playing game which purpose is only to win or lose money and saying that you are not doing it for money. After all, many people are using dicebots and scripts to play, so tell me, where is fun in that if everyone plays for fun? Gamblers play to feel satisfaction in the end, without money they won't feel anything...

Simply because to play without money is not so funny.

Apart from that, I think you are right when you say that many gamblers don’t have enough money. There are gamblers that think of gambling as a solution to their problems, but they won’t admit it. If you asked them they would say that they play for fun but that’s simply not true and deep inside they know that, unless they are very lucky, miraculously lucky, they are heading to bankruptcy.
However, there are other gamblers, responsible ones, who play with very small amounts of money in relation to their income, and for them the difference of playing with money or playing with play money, is a difference on how thrilling the game is, as some others have said.
Some of them they gambled their money just for fun at the same time if they have a lucky they earned money.
Because gambling without using money you can't serious it to play but by putting money to gambled you always chasing every round just to win. But playing gambled for me is having a limitation to my self even though it is for fun because i'm afraid that instead just for fun turn to gambling addiction.

Mostly some rich people while relaxing they like in gambling as a hang outs.
I always did it for fun with my real money, made some and lost somewhat in Bitcoins but all I was focused upon was the fact that I wanted to enjoy the matches a bit more and believe me, when you bet on such games, you get more excited than you normally do. The value of Bitcoins was not that high during times due to which losing them didn't bother me too much but now I regret why I placed those bets. That's just one regret that I feel, may never go out of my heart.

Usually people play gambling is for fun, but use real money to play to earn more money. If the people want play gambling but not have much money to play gambling is hard to play. So fun still number 1. Gambling is only accept money, because of that play gambling need use real money.
They hope gambling can make them earn fast money.

most of the gambler's really have enough money
This is wrong assumption, most of gamblers don't have enough money.for us money is secondary, fun is primary, most of the gambler's really have enough money, but we lack the thrill, the fun in real life and that is then made up by gambling the thrill when it's going red to green and suddenly you win, that's the kind of excitement and fun that most of the people here or your life will tell you.
I don't understand this:Money is secondary, fun is primary - but thrill is when you win money - which you said you have enough of. It is contradiction because you said money isn't important and than you said it is thrill to win money = gambling to win money?

Well it's a basic thing for most of the gamblers to say they play for fun, for us money is secondary, fun is primary, most of the gambler's really have enough money, but we lack the thrill, the fun in real life and that is then made up by gambling the thrill when it's going red to green and suddenly you win, that's the kind of excitement and fun that most of the people here or your life will tell you. They're not lying to you, but that's the fact it is with gambler, you need to see it from our eyes.

I remember when I was a child we can gamble even without money. We can make fun and become happy without money when we play. So, we can play without it right? Maybe gamble with money can make the fun more tense it can make them nervous when they already lose some of their money or can make them happy when they winning the game. Sometimes a lot of people made excuses when it comes in gambling even though they keep on telling about it "we only gamble because we seek fun" but we can see them very disappointed and sad when they already lose their money.
