There are addicted gamblers both as rich and as poor or average class gamblers, but how each one of them package themselves matters and serves as the major reasons why they were seem as being addicted or not, everyone of us cant be the same, if we carefully checked on how we are gambling, we could deduce form our own end how some have been found with unethical gambling manners, while some have maintained a responsible gambling over the years, because they have the sense of why it is needed of them to do so as they are gambling and being entertained.
I wonder why some people thinks that addiction only happens with poor..
Because most people don't care if a rich person can get addicted with gambling, obviously that person has enough money to burn with excessive gambling.
While, a poor person who got addicted with gambling, he can become a problem not only with his family but in the society. When that person runs out of money, he can potentially become a thief and potentially become violent. Nobody wants that to happen around our community, right? This is very similar to drug addition. Their desire and hunger to gamble would fuel them to do whatever they think they can to acquire money even if it means illegal. So, this is the reason why most people focused their attention to poor people who got addicted in gambling.
