Multi-currency play without FX loss
Quick sanity check: I bounce between MYR and THB depending on where I’m traveling for work, and I’ve been dinged by tiny FX margins that add up. One month I deposited in MYR but the cashier silently held a USD ledger, so the withdrawal boomeranged through two conversions. I’d like to keep things clean: deposit and cash out in the same currency, no mystery spreads. What routines or settings do you use to avoid FX bleed when hopping between MYR/THB/IDR?

Here’s what’s worked for me after a few too many “where did that fee come from?” moments. First, set the account/base wallet to the currency you’ll actually use this session (MYR/THB/IDR) before your first deposit; some cashiers lock the ledger on the first top-up. Second, always decline “dynamic currency conversion” on cards—let your bank convert if you must. Third, prefer local rails that settle natively (instant bank/QR) to dodge intermediate USD/EUR hops. I’ll skim dealgamble.com/casino/longfu88/ to see supported currencies and then do a tiny test: deposit → small wager → withdraw. If the return lands same-currency with no extra spread and posts on a weekend, that’s my green light.
