I gambled in past and now I don't know what to do with the money. I will repent to allah and ensure that it won't happen again. But should I throw away the money? or should I give it to charity??

The amount earned through gambling is Haraam (strictly prohibited). In principle, Haraam monies should be given away as charity to the poor and needy.
