gambling is so addicting because sometimes when you gamble you are enjoying your life and gamble is addicted also because when you loss this day you will come back tomorrow and you want to bring back to you the money you loss, and if you win, this can bring you happiness and comeback again because you are enjoying your winning. and that is the rotation why you are being addicted in gambling.

The only reason that made people addicted is because of money, if we can win money with few single click on the site that is addicting. People are only greedy with money thats why alot of people dont want to stop gambling but instead they will keep trying until they win alot money. It is hard to get out of gambling once you are addicted

But what i think gets many addicted has to do with greed  to make more money or the thought of trying to win back losses incurred in the past. This has led to many gamblers borrowing money and if luck elude them loose all and are ever in debt and wanting to get them back.

Gambling should remain a fun activity. I use to always get my deposit back and play with the earnings I got. This way, if I lose my earnings, I am back to day 1 but at least I have not lost any money.
The major difference though is that you are not betting in Euros or USD but in Bitcoin or Eth, and these currencies proved to rise (price wise) very fast lately, so 0.01 earned today could be much more tomorrow. That's why I recommend gambling with various crypto-currencies (for the anonymity too, of course).
I also have the same thinking in this regard. Playing gambling for fun purpose is the thing that can be entertained by the family of gambler also because it would not cause any harm to the life of gambler and the gambler also. But when the gambler will go to earn profits or handful amounts from gambling, then it will cause physical as well as mental regardless to the gambler and the gambler will soon become frustrated with his life.
It is without doubt the greed of money and when i say money i mean easy money that makes gambling so addictive. If you stand the chance of making $10,000 in a matter of minutes whereas it will take you about six months to make it normally, i am sure that everyone will jump at that chance but making money with gambling isn't as easy as some people think.
Gambling is always tempting for everyone, but also people who are always careful in following the game by relying on the luck factor. If they are lucky then they will come into play to get a lot of benefits briefly but if they are feeling unlucky then they do not follow this gambling game in order to avoid the loss. Things like this we can call a smart gambler take advantage of the situation. However, despite that, they are still becoming addicted to this game and when they are really troubled they will hang their fate on the gambling table and wish their luck to come to them.

I think many luck based games in our gambling houses are responsible for plunging many into addiction even though because they just hang on some small percentage of luck to make profits and since these gambling houses are here  for the profit, they are often victimized and they loose out in the long run. I think this is what often makes gambling so addicting.

I think gambling is so addictive because when you win at the bet you will be very happy that you have win and you are addicted to it because your goal is to win the price. And if you lose your want to regain it no matter what because you think that you can regain it and get much higher than your previous reward.

Actually there are so many factors why gambling is so addicting, that is only one of the reason, some are just born in a place where gambling is trendy and it is their culture and that person itself have seen and seeing gambling in his everyday life and he has no choice but to play because that is their way of passing time. Some are just rich enough and they are addicted because that is their hobby and some are waiting for a jackpot revenge and they are thinking that they will get back what they've lost by winning the jackpot.

in places where there are many casinos and all their friends and relatives are playing or gambling, then there are greater chances that that person is going to gamble as well and when he is able to taste some good winning and share of losing, he will tend to play more and in the process get addicted to it.

I think gambling is addicting because of that feeling when you win big time! Not many things can measure with the thrill when you win at dice or even sports betting. I have increased my bankroll couple of times in my life by 400%-500% and these kind of winnings make you an addict.
That feeling of winning big time is making us to be popular in the web or chatbox but that's not really the reason why gambling is so addicting. Gambling is simply addictive the way it used to be. We are winning and losing and upon experiencing to win that much it's making us more happier and feels comfortable that next time we gamble we'll win again. And that practice is repeated until it becomes addiction.

I think this gratitude/validation from others is just making the whole gambling thing even more addictive but it's not really the root of it becoming addictive. In our life, we have this thought hard-wired to our brain that earning money is really hard. It is indeed hard. Some people even believe that earning a good amount of money are only for those people that are smart while some believe that it's only for those people that have the connection. In gambling, you can earn money in an instant. And by instant I really do mean instantly. With just one click of a button, *drum roll*, and you'd know if you have successfully made money from the money that you risked and what a job it brings when it works out for you.

As time goes by, you start to have gambling buddies and you guys congratulate each other whenever you win something or whenever you do something risky and you won money. It's a loophole of you hoping to feel that excitement/validation/happiness over and over again but the truth is that you are paying for it by losing your money from gambling. You don't really feel that you are losing money because you are still happy. Happy that you have had that excitement even for just a split second moment.
It is making us more addictive and pushing us to give another confidence level that we should gamble again. And it's just another reason why gambling becomes addictive, there are people who are appreciating your luck and they are praising you to have it and as a human being that is giving you a good feeling that they are liking you and your mind tells you that you are ahead than other gamblers who can't have a single blow of win.

It is a great excitement that we all always want to have thats why when we play for fun, it is one of the best entertainment that we will have. For some people however they are not addicted because they want to have fun but they are playing for profit. Some people dont know the essence of gambling yet but sooner or later they will find this out

The gambling addict will feel sorry when it has realized that they are losing all their money has run out just to play gambling. There they start thinking how to get rid of their addiction to the game. Thus, they are also aware that their greedy nature has ruined their lives that should not be used for futile deeds. But, if they do not feel the loss in the game then they will continue to survive to play gambling because they assume that only from gambling they can benefit very quickly.

It is really addicting because it is fun, you are making yourself happy while earning some money, but I'm not saying that you could always win money, what I'm saying is it is fun if you are making money on it, that is why it is addicting. It became more addicting if you lost a really big amount of money in gambling, so my advice to you is to know your limits if you are going to play gambling.

Why is it so addictive?
Because you earn money from it in the most fastest way. But sometime it also turn into disaster. Because you can loss many in the moat fastest way. And I think it become more addictive, when you get enjoy from it while playing. You can do at the same time playing and earning and that what it makes more addictive. The investor or the people get use to enjoy it. And I dont see any problem with that.

Why gambling is not addiction. Many see gambling as something that they are feeling good or to see something else when they play no matter what game is. Most of the gambling is consider as addiction cuz it produces more problem then solutions. Many ended up with loosing everything in gambling so better is to find a way to control it.
Gambling is not addiction but it's addictive, you should know that in order minimize the risk as the moment you loss your control that might give you a lot of profit. It's important that we are matured enough so we can stay discipline in gambling, we might lose and that is unavoidable but we can always minimize our loses so we can still feel the fun especially when we are not doing it on a regular basis.

Indeed, I guess the reason why people are addicted in gambling is that because of the money, they are thinking that they could also win big amount of money if they are going to risk big money also like others, but it is not simple as that. We have different luck in gambling, and we are a lucky guy if we are winning in gambling most of the time, because it is not the usual thing that happen.
