What should I do with my windfall?

Hi guys, I'm new to the forum but been checking for tips for a good few years now!
Anyway, I guess I've always been a DFW, struggling for a while. However I recieved a windfall of about £4k, so it wipes me overdraft and I've got £2.5k left. Where's the best place to put my money with the option of withdrawing in case I need a holiday or something?
P.S I'm a bit of a problem gambler, and this has been my main reason for struggling with debt in the past. I can't see myself giving it up completely but I'd like to try to take it down to the odd lesuirely flutter... BTW this windfall is directly from betfair.....
Cheers for reading!

Is that all your debt cleared? If so you might want to put it in a cash ISA - but do you really want easy access as a problem gambler?0
