    Be honest. The transactions themselves aren't a problem, and you're free to spend your money however you like, provided your savings aren't over the £6,000 threshold.

    The review is generally about checking that your circumstances match what you've declared, including making sure you're not working and receiving income that hasn't been reported. Just be open and honest about the money coming into and going out of your account, and explain that the transactions relate to gambling if you're asked.
