16 year old son spent £500 on online gaming

He has the earn't the money so let him spend it on what he wants. It could be put to better use I agree. When he gets older he will realise he needs to save money. For the time being their is a lot worse he could be doing. Paper rounds are very tough. I don't enjoy getting up for work at half 7 every morning but most paper rounds you have to get up very early and then usually go to school after wards! Good on him!

Tell him to subscribe to playstation plus, its £40 for the year and you get 4-6 free games every month. They arent the latest, but they arent that old either, Farcry 3 is coming soon, and thats less than a year old

Btw we have now closed the account.

I hope you realise in doing so you have effectively just thrown away £500 of your son's money. Those games will now be inoperable.

It's his own money, provided it was properly earned what's the problem?

In my eyes, what you've done is far worse.

Never thought about that.

OP, you may wish to consider reactivating it without the card details if you can...
