Preparing Cash for Philippine Casinos: Check Before You Leave
1. Dollars or Pesos, what should I prepare?
2. How much cash should I prepare?
- Category: Casino Funds - Prepare seed money in dollars tailored to your gaming style
- Category: Local Living Expenses - Prepare pesos equivalent to 100,000–200,000 KRW per person per day
If you are uncomfortable carrying too much cash, please inquire about Filling Agency's safe fund management service. We support you so that you can use your funds safely when you need them.
3. Check the 'final received amount' when exchanging currency
When exchanging currency, do not just look at the Naver exchange rate; you must compare the 'actual amount in your hand' that includes fees. Filling Agency provides members with the most favorable junket-exclusive exchange rates.
- Official currency exchange counters inside the casino are generally more favorable than airport exchange counters.
- When exchanging large amounts, be sure to be accompanied by an agent to verify for counterfeit bills.
It is clearer to ask specifically, such as, "If I exchange money today, exactly how many pesos will I receive per 100 dollars?"
4. Philippine Casino Cash Entry: Dollar and Peso Regulations Differ
When entering the Philippines, foreign currency import regulations apply differently to dollars and pesos. Foreign currency (including US dollars) can be brought in without declaration up to $10,000 per person; exceeding this amount requires a customs declaration. On the other hand, Philippine Pesos (PHP) are only allowed up to 50,000 pesos per person, and exceeding this requires prior permission from the Central Bank of the Philippines, so caution is advised. Filling Agency provides prior guidance on the optimal fund distribution method according to regulations for your safe entry.

It is recommended to prepare casino gaming funds in dollars to preserve the value of your seed money.Fourth
Check real-time exchange rates and available exchange volumes with your Filling Agency manager in advance to establish a systematic asset management plan.
Casino resorts in Clark operate individual safe deposit box systems inside the casino in addition to in-room safes. We strongly recommend storing large amounts of cash in designated secure facilities, and our agency managers provide 24-hour accompaniment for storage and withdrawal procedures. Additionally, as cash import/export regulations apply when returning to Korea, we ensure the safety of your assets until the very end through KRW exchange or deposit services for any remaining funds after your game.
