Hello. Online gaming addiction is becoming a new public health problem & I perfectly understand your concerns. You may not believe me at this point, but it is a mental illness known as internet addiction & if you search , you will get lots of articles about internet addiction. This is treated by combination of medicines & counselling. For your part, you should block your brothers access to any form of money (physical or net banking, atm etc.) then persuade him to visit a psychiatrist or revert back to me to start medications & counselling. Good luck.
