All mean to "collect." You can use each one in almost any situation.
However, there are minor sub-meanings to each. "Gain" means to collect without effort, or collect automatically, "acquire" and "obtain" mean to collect with effort. "Obtain" is often used negatively to imply that someone collected unlawfully.
