And im sure his parents worried about him and told him that he was never going to make anything of himself if all he could do was spend time on that darn computer playing games.

That’s an incredibly large prize.

Wow, what a huge amount of money for such a young human. I hope he invests it or banks it, anything but waste it

Oh dear, he’s so young! I hope he is surrounded by sensible, grounded people who will guide him with so much money. I hope he doesn’t blow it all within a couple of years. I have a 12yo cousin whose mum thinks nothing of him having all nighters on his game console, no money to be seen, this is so wrong!

Mine are too young but I think there would be more time wasted than money made.

That’s a lot of money for a Young child wow that’s unbelievable.

How much money did he spend to win that large a prize? How many who play the game have huge gambling debts?

My boys have never been interested in gaming so it wasn’t an issue for me. It’s okay to play but not to the detriment of your education or work.

My son 6 loves fornite and so does Hubby, I have to admit I’m not a huge fan, but they don’t play it for hours on end

Thankfully, my son was never interested in Fortnite and has outgrown gaming.

I think my child is to young to be playing video games.

Wow what a massive prize. I wouldn’t mind being that good I could become a millionaire from it. Not my kind of game though. Lucky young man!

Not a gamer myself but maybe I should be. Hope he invests well.

so those hours and hours of playing games paid off for this teenager, but how does he fair in the real world, no did not let my son play online gamine we could not afford the cost of extra data anyway.

This is insane. I do not agree with competitive gaming. Especially not school aged children.

Good luck to him however I’m against gaming not only does it do their heads in it prevents them from using their own imagination and innovation in the ‘real’ world. I’d prefer my children to be outside playing not straining their eyes all night long on games.

Thats a lot of screen time i’d say! would rather spend time with my kiddo than see him play video games all the time!

Happy for his win but to spend so much time, his youth, playing games is somehow sad ….

wow that will certainly give him a good start to adult life, hopefully his parents will help him spend it wisely

Wow, that is a lot of money !
Yes, my nearly 14yr old son likes to play video games.
