WATCH: 17-year-old banned from 'Fortnite' after bagging more than R500K

London - Jarvis Kaye was living the teenage dream – having amassed a £1.7-million fortune by playing a video game.

In the last month alone, the 17-year-old – known online as FaZe Jarvis – earned £27 500 in advertising revenues, having built up a YouTube following of two million fans. But on Tuesday his mother claimed Jarvis was "broken" after being banned for life from 'Fortnite', the internet phenomenon that has earned him such unlikely riches.

Barbara Khattri, 60, said her son deserved the chance to make amends after the game’s makers banned him for cheating.
