I'm going to disagree with this one (though I generally do agree with Little).
Preventing him from playing will likely make him furious - and he will find some other way. He does sound addicted - and getting between an addict and his drug is a very risky. He is likely to see you as the problem (controlling, etc), and focus on that rather than his own problem.
As far as checking histories - he is addicted to something on the computer, does it really matter what. If he finds out you have been snooping (and if he is clever he can), he is likely to get angry and blame you, rather than face his problem.

Think of it like an addicted drinker; he's lost his ability to say no. I play WoW and I am not/don't think I'm addicted.
Another idea:
Delete the financial information on the website.
Max out/Cancel the credit card he's using to pay.
Cancel his subscription.
He's got to reach level 70 at some point, but then the expansion will leave you in shambles again.
As for checking his websites, he's probably got it automatically erasing, but look for the "history" tab on the browser. Good luck.
