Wife's online gaming addiction. [View all]

I've come to realize that my wife has an addiction to online games, at the moment it's Monopoly Go, and I'm kind of at a loss as to how to deal with it.

She's not very computer savvy, today I was helping her set up an account and had to open her email to do it. While there I noticed nearly a full page of receipts from the apple play store..... she's spent over $1000 on Monopoly Go since the middle of December.

A couple of years ago it was almost the exact same scenario, I was helping her and had to open her email account and right there in front of me were over $1600 in receipts from Candy Crush.

If I say anything I'm going to be the bad guy for "spying on her".

I'm super pissed at her right now for spending that much money on stupid online games, but don't have a clue how to approach the situation other than totally blowing my stack.
