I would definitely intervene if my parents spent $100k/year on 1-2 websites, be it dirtyfilthygambling.com or totallyfreeplaymoneygames.com or spaceagegolfclubs.com or jewelencrusteddesignerhandbags.com. But it would be a direct intervention, asking them to show me the site (so I can make sure they know what they are being charged for), and a financial audit to make sure the spending is within their means.
If I were too chicken**** to do that, I would definitely not be going to sneak-contact their bank or install spyware on their computer. If I go to the bank, I will bring my parents and a letter from a court stating that I now have conservatorship over their finances, I will give my parents a big hug and we will all sit down with the 200 years of life experience accumulated between us and figure out a rational solution like adults.
