It's just a game to try and get a higher score. Like HN points, karma doesn't actually get you any special benefits.

I believe certain site features are gated off to prevent manipulation such as up/downvoting until users reach X points

Beyond reaching the threshold to be able to downvote comments, there is no significant functionality that you unlock as your karma increases.
