Can you consciously and willingly stop gambling at any time?
If you can do the above, you have great control and discipline, of course you are not an addict and you deserve to gamble as much as you want.
If not, clarify your ways of stopping gambling.
Everything is about the money you bet.
If you don't bet a lot of money and in a daily basis then it is very easy to stop gambling.
People who gamble a lot of money are the one that cannot quit it and are addicted to it.
Though you're right but not all gambler at the lower layer have control over their gambling life, we have seen many cases around the forum were newbies to gambling are found uncontrollable when it come to gambling. My believe is, each gambler has their own layer of operation and those who bet or gamble with huge funds can be found to control their urge than those with smaller gamble funds. Am just a case studies here as I belong to the lower class before and then realizes my mistakes while gamble.
