Sometimes I think that addiction is to be with the financial status of a gambler. If a gambler is rich and he does not care much about the money, he will usually play excessive gambling and sooner or later will become addicted to it. On the other hand, a person like me, will think twice about the risk involved in gambling and will try to gamble with limited money, so that the loss incurred is also low. That may be another reason why the poor gamblers remain poor because they do not take the risk (which is good to some extent) while rich gamblers may become richer if they win big or they become addicted to it (and also lose a lot of money).

You are right, a gambler's financial status is quite important in facing the risk of possible gambling addiction. I saw some of my old friends who were addicted to gambling. and most of them are those who have very good finances when they start gambling.
because they can spend quite a lot of capital to play, which makes them lose control of their finances. Financial conditions that are quite good can be quite bad for beginners in gambling. The impact will be different when gamblers with small capital play with much less intensity than those who have large capital.

I think otherwise, because players with smaller amount of money undergo series of troubles same way the high rollers do. However, the emotional stress it causes to both classes of people in my view is unclear. The rich players don't bother so much about losing out lots of money, due to the money they've got on reserve. While the low rollers with low income, think about their losses a lot once their session is over. Similarly, same thoughts lead both sides to addiction. The rich players are mostly high rollers, and the type of money they lose in the game also makes them to think a lot.

Everyone takes risk in gambling, just that the differences are in the amount of risk or money spent in the process. Risk factors differ, and most people who have lesser amount sometimes go all in with every money they've got. Isn't it a bigger risk, compared to a player who has a lot of money but wagers within his normal expenses, but to the next person he would see the money as a big amount. Yes, it could be big, but not to the player. The whole comparison differs according to how the players spend their money. In a nutshell, the rich players also get addicted to gambling. Humans react to things similarly, in most cases, especially in a game as cost effective as gambling.
