This is an open question, maybe I could be wrong in the eye of some of you but am asking this question because a large number of addicted gamblers are not even up to a middle class standard but they are addicted. Can someone tell me why it's like that or is it totally a different case in your society, maybe an opposite of what I asking is happening in your own society. Poor people gets more addicted, following the middle class before it gets to the rich. Since it's like that, I think it's just the poor people that are gambling the most in the world, if am not correct, I stand to be corrected.
There is no such thing as the rich not being addicted; their addiction is just less visible because they have money. They also get addicted, but because they work and have systems to cover their losses, their gambling is usually more sustainable. I would say that the perception that the rich are less prone to addiction is due to their material and social advantages.
However, these advantages do not completely prevent addiction, they just make it more visible and manageable. While the rich have more options in dealing with addiction, psychological and emotional factors pose similar risks for everyone.
