Because it is fun and pumps a lot of adrenaline into your blood stream, actually.
Haven't you ever gambled with your own money or in a video game (back in the day when it was still possible for small children)?.

It is about the uncertainty or whether you could get your way or not with the chances you are taking.

There is a game called "crash", you should read about it, in my opinion is very entertaining and one of the most exciting games one can find in online gambling, because it offers you the chance to "easily" double your money or even multiply it for thousands times, but it also has the chance to make you lose, of course. only the premise of the game is exciting and not for the faint of heart  , that is one of the main reasons people gamble, OP.

We have two major reasons why people go into gambling or develop interest for it, the first is because of having fun and a means to create a pleasurable moment to whine away time, secondly is to make money, this is very common because many were frustrated to the extent that they only rely on gambling for their sustainability in life, they play bets, sone work for gambling companies and get paid while other provide services such as predictions and odds for games, matches and other gambling event while others work as operators of the gambling casinos, as long as you earn a living or make fun with gambling and get satisfied, then your reason for gambling is being fulfilled.

Other than money and entertainment, are there any ither reason to do so? Well, players who are here for entertainment are few for sure. Most of the people here engaged to gambling simply because of the belief that this is a way to be rich. Well, indeed there are really people who made fortune out of gambling such as with lotteries but unfortunately, it is quite 1:1000000 probability for an individual to be in such situation. More players are losing; let us face the truth. But for players, the slightest chance is enough for them to believe that the one of a million individual could be them.

Money is that powerful but never the root of all evil; it is one's intention. Money could almost give you everything which makes it an enough reason to take risks or to simoly gamble their fate. Who doesn't want to be rich anyway? Also if there is an "easy" way to do so, why not? These ideas are simply pulling people towards this industry. And we just cannot stop it that simple. It takes one's initiative to do so whether to engage or not.

Mostly for entertainment, rarely just for "scoring" a big hit because they "really need it." You would be surprised how many people play it just for the fun factor, but the thing is, we always hear about those edge cases where people are serious gamblers who lost/gain huge amounts of money.

When you think about it who would talk about stories/people who just had fun playing a couple of rounds and depositing like 50€ weekly, whilst having a good financial background? That would be a boring story

[Plaguedeath]

It's true because most newbies and greedy people are fall to make money through gambling.

But for an experienced gambler, he know if he's high likely will lose in gambling and wouldn't make money through gambling, so the main reason why he's gambling is to kill his boredom and for entertainment. If you're a gambler and want to minimize your lose, it's better if you gamble on sports where you can't constantly keep gambling.

[Don Pedro Dinero]

Other than money and entertainment, are there any ither reason to do so?

Not really. And I would say that it is mainly the money that attracts people, the entertainment is a side effect, not something you look for when you first decide to gamble. Eventually when you know what it's all about, you can dedicate a small part of your budget to gambling as many of us do, partly for entertainment and partly because you have a chance of making some money that week.

However, in my observation, I found out that most people go into gambling because they think that's the easiest way to make big money.

To this I would add that this is what people think, but it's not very easy to hit a big jackpot, and usually by the time people hit it they've already spent more money than they got out of it, if you take into account all the sessions. 99.99% of gamblers lose money in their lifetime if you add up everything they bet and everything they win.

Another thing to add is that they are looking to make a lot of money with little effort, because setting up a successful business or having a very well paid salaried job and building up their wealth through savings and investment requires a much greater effort than gambling on slots or other games.

You just answer your own question to be honest. That might be one of the factors but I think there's a lot of it and it differs from individuals because others might say it's about the money, the others will say it's about the joy they get while gambling, there's no definite answer to it. One more thing, it's not the easiest way to make money, it's likely the opposite and it's to lose money.

[alastantiger]

One of the major reason people engage in gambling is to make money, some use it as another source of i come. I have seen people who use gambling as a side hustle. A friend of mine who was working in a radio ststion, he gambles also. He gambles after work. He bought a toyota corolla with the money he made from gambling. People gamble after work or businesses or in their free time as it gives them relief from stress. People also gamble for entertainment reason because they love the wining feelings. Gambling is not just for money but also for entertainment.

[uneng]

People go into gambling for different reasons. Some for the right and others for the wrong ones.

The right reason is to seek for entertainment, a moment of pleasure which be enjoyed alone or with a group of friends making guesses and trying strategies and methods together.

The wrong reason is to consider gambling an extra income, investment method or side job in order to raise money for a living.

Despite the reason which has taken you to gamble, the most important aspect is to make sure it's not prejudicing your mental and finalcial health.

This is true. This is the number one reason why people gamble and the minority is just gambling just to have fun during their vacation or day-off from job like me. Gambling offers an instant win to your money which you can’t get on any investment platform that’s why most of the gamblers are those who have a short patience. This is the reason why the majority of gamblers loss because they are playing reckless just to have quick profit.

[ryzaadit]

I think you can lock the thread.

You ask the question and your self already answered of your question, no need to further confirmation. Because that's the reason why people betting 99%, they win will coming back because easy money and went they lose they're gonna still coming back.

Because they are gonna to try recovery the loss, but getting more loss (take a loan, and finally they have a financial problem).

That's not entirely true.
Always remember, the house will always win. That means the gambling platform already have the upper hand against you. What you want to do is lessen that by playing wisely.
You can try poker games where usually it's a battle of players and casinos just take a part of the whole pot for maintenance and the venue.
Sports betting is also a good idea, many gamblers have stories about winning here more than casino games like Blackjack, slots, dice, etc...
In my case, I pick both poker (back when I still have time to go to the venue and before the pandemic) and sports betting. I can somehow increase the chance to win although losses cannot be prevented.
Just enjoy the added excitement provided by betting on your favorite sports and you will definitely not think about it's all just for making money.

I think by means that it was easiest, It’s simply because you will have a chance to win big with just one lucky bet compared if you do an investment which will require you a lot of time and effort just to earn big.

Easiest way to win and lose at the same time to be exact. Betting all-in money is not hard. The only hard part is accepting the consequences if you lose the bet. So technically gambling is really an easy method to have a possible huge win.

The way gambling is now structured it's not in any way meant to make anyone rich, and people that understands this idea that the gambling companies aren't charity homes have taken gambling to be just a leisure activity for fun, and time cruising subject even as they are careful not to loss their themselves financially into it. Coming to your observation of people engaging into gambling cause they see it as easiest way to make big money, I think people with such perspective towards gambling are a lazy-poor sets of persons and the truth is gambling is just a game of luck entirely, it doesn't promise wealth.

IMO the reason people start gambling varies from person  to person and influenced by the nature of the environment the person is. People who stay in an area where Casino houses are like major businesses and they are built in a way that people visit to relax, and have fun playing games. People who start gambling in this area are usually attracted to it because it is seen as a fun activity.

In other areas where the economy is not so good and people are looking for ways to make extra money, their decision to begin gambling will largely be influenced by the thought of making money.

When I started to gamble in 2014, it was because I thought I can make money if I am gambling, that I can be different and learn more about it, but I later found myself in the middle of depression and addiction, losing more than I should and gambling became a problem for me. I was so stupid because I was greedy. I have some people that joined just gamble for fun, I have some of my friends that joined because I am gambling.

[MiliMil]

People gamble because they think they can make easy money, because they want an adrenaline rush or because they want to socialise with friends. Not all gamblers are problem gamblers, some do it as a recreation.

Gambling like alcohol is a vice and can be a problem when done excessively. People should only gamble what they can afford to lose.

[cydrix]

It is done for a variety of reasons, including recreation, socialization, financial gain, escapism, and addiction.

Gambling is a personal decision that involves risks and potential consequences. Understanding the risks of gambling and making an informed decision based on your personal circumstances, values, and goals is critical. If you choose to gamble, it is critical that you do so responsibly and within your means, and that you seek help if you believe you may have a gambling problem.
