Is it that people are just pretending to be gambling for fun meanwhile everybody (all gamblere) are actually gambling for financial gains.

There are indeed gamblers who play just for fun, but that doesn't mean they don't expect to make money.
Gamblers who say they are just for fun but are addicted are very likely to happen not only because they are lying because it turns out they are very aggressive in gambling but it could be that the addiction occurs slowly, initially just for fun but slowly because they really like the game and start to be aggressive so they fall into addiction.

Yeah, gambling for fun does not keep a person from getting addicted to gambling, addiction comes from loving something too much and constantly engaging one self to it or in it.

So, lets just say that gambling addiction can happen in two ways, either the gambler loves a particular gambling game too much and is constantly playing it, not necessarily for money but fun, to the extent the brain of the gambler become used to that game or games.
While on the other hand, another gambler may be gambling constantly simply because he wants to win money, chasing after his or her previous loses until he or she realizes that gambling has become part of him and something he can no longer do without.

So, which ever reason why we are gambling, whether it be for fun or for money, it's important to practice moderation in it for anybody can actually get addicted to gambling.

Yes, bad habits are known to become hard to change if they are done frequently and if the person has a certain fondness of the said habits. As a person spends a lot of time on one particular activity solely for fun or for the purpose of gaining some particular results, involuntarily, any kind of activity becomes an important part of life which is impossible to remove. Hence, moderation in all that everyone does is something that needs to be observed to ensure that we do not fall into vices that are hard to change. The first methods are being able to realise one’s capacity and knowing when to quit, as such, something that is done with entertainment may later become a nuisance that one wishes they did not have to undertake.
