Instant money is the biggest lure for people due to which everyone tries their luck in gambling. Some are sensible and if they know it is not going to be easy to win from gambling move away or just play for fun and other who cannot control them self help the casinos owners to make them money as they keep losing normally and still anticipate of winning big and continue playing it.
Yes, there could be thousands of reason for getting addicted to gambling but if we go for depth analysis, we can find out that sticking with gambling continuously is the only reason for intensively getting addicted. There could be different reasons for every gambler for sticking with gambling but all the reasons will definitely lead to getting addicted finally. Even people who are realizing what they are doing, getting addicted over time as they are engaging themselves into gambling continuously.

Mostly gamblers are searching for some reason to stick within gambling. This is kind of justifying their actions but they are ruining their health and wealth once they get addicted. Anything will cause addictions hence the reason is not important but not staying with gambling for more times, is the only solution to avoid getting addicted with gambling.

I'm not too sure if this statement is entirely correct.

I bet that there are lots of people who've gambled their entire life without getting addicted whatsoever.
How many people buy weekly lottery tickets? Would you say that they're addicted to gambling? Even if they spend the same amount of money every week and it does not cause them harm in any way?

It's almost impossible to make these kinds of generalized statements, you'll always have people that have a completely different reaction to long-term exposure.
