Online gamer insures fingers for £375,000

A computer game player has insured his hands for £375,000.

Alex Nikitin from London is due to take part in the World Cyber Games in Korea this week.

He says missing a game due to injury could result in him losing his place in the tournament, as well as valuable earnings.

"Qualifying for the World Cyber Games has led me to investigate ways to protect my key assets - my fingers," Mr Nikitin said.
