More Pokies, Faster Payouts: Welcome to 28Mars
28Mars puts a 3,000+ game library — 500+ pokies at its core, plus live dealer tables in HD — behind an AUD-priced account built for Australian players, with PayID, familiar bank transfers, BPAY and crypto all on the cashier menu. This page is the map: what's in the lobby, how money moves, what to do when a domain changes, and what the welcome offer actually asks of you before you can cash out.
What you get when you join 28Mars
28Mars runs as a pokies-first casino: the lobby leans into slot titles over a sportsbook, with a house style built around "Hold and Win" collect-and-respin boards, live dealer tables in HD, and a handful of instant, single-round crash-style games for players who want a quicker round. The operator, 28 Mars Gaming Group Ltd, holds dual licensing — PAGCOR and a Curaçao authorisation (GC-28MARS-1673/JAZ) — since no offshore pokies brand can hold an Australian gambling licence under the Interactive Gambling Act 2001. What that licensing does and doesn't cover for a player is set out on the trust and support page.
For an Australian player the practical result is straightforward: the site is reachable in a browser, every price on it is in AUD, and support runs a 24/7 live chat rather than office-hours-only contact.
How the pokies line-up is organised
Rather than a single in-house studio, the catalogue reads like an aggregator shelf: dozens of titles built around a handful of recurring mechanics. The most common by far is Hold and Win, where three or more bonus symbols lock in place and respin until the board fills or the feature ends — titles such as Lion Gems 3 Pots and Royal Fortunator spell the pot count directly into their art. Alongside that sit Egyptian-themed reels (Solar Queen, Scarab Riches), fruit-and-chilli cabinets (4 Chili Amigos, Green Chilli), dragon and luck themes (Dragon Wealth, 15 Dragon Pearls), and a small cluster of instant crash-style games — Mad Wing, UdaanX, Redwing — that play out in a single round rather than across a five-reel grid. The full breakdown, filterable by mechanic, sits on the pokies catalogue page.
Getting money in and out
Deposits and withdrawals run in AUD through PayID, bank transfers with the major Australian banks (CommBank, ANZ, Westpac, NAB), BPAY and a crypto option covering coins such as Bitcoin and Litecoin. PayID moves over Australia's New Payments Platform, which settles between banks in minutes rather than the one-to-three business days a traditional transfer takes; crypto speed instead depends on the coin's own block time, so a Litecoin confirmation typically clears faster than a Bitcoin one. The banking page sets every method out step by step, including where identity checks sit in the process.
Access, mirrors and the ACMA blocklist
Australian ISPs block offshore gambling domains at ACMA's direction, so a brand that keeps operating typically shifts to a new domain carrying the same account and balance rather than shutting down. That is the situation behind the "why did the URL change" question a lot of returning players ask, and it is also where login sits: 28Mars does not run a separate login microsite, so account access, verification steps and the current mirror situation are covered together on the account and mirrors page instead of split into their own login page.
The welcome offer, and reading the terms first
New players can claim up to A$1,000 in bonus funds plus 100 free spins, or a 75% first-deposit match up to A$500, per the operator's current promotion page — pick whichever shape suits your bankroll at the deposit step. Beyond the welcome offer, 28Mars runs deposit-linked promotions, occasional promo codes and a VIP layer for regular players. The promotions and terms page covers the mechanics that stay constant between offers: wagering requirements, game-weighting, and how a claimed bonus can be forfeited.
Licensing, support and player protection
The trust and support page lays out the PAGCOR and Curaçao licensing in plain terms, the 24/7 live chat and other support channels, and the responsible-gambling tools an Australian player can use regardless of which casino they play at, including BetStop, the National Self-Exclusion Register.
28Mars runs the account, the games and the cashier — this site is where you find your way around before you play. Deposits, withdrawals and gameplay all happen on the operator's own domain, reached through the Play Now button above.
Frequently asked questions
The Interactive Gambling Act 2001 bars operators from offering online casino services to people in Australia; it does not make it an offence for an individual to play. 28Mars is not licensed in Australia and operates from outside the country, which is why ACMA can add its domains to a DNS blocklist without any Australian player facing charges.
When ACMA blocks a domain at the DNS level for Australian ISPs, the operator typically registers a new one carrying the same account system and branding. 28mars.com.au tracks these changes on the account and mirrors page rather than asking players to guess.
The cashier covers PayID, transfers with the major Australian banks (CommBank, ANZ, Westpac, NAB), BPAY and crypto rails such as Bitcoin and Litecoin, all priced in AUD. Exact processing times and limits sit with the operator's current banking page, since operators revise them without notice.
28Mars runs as a browser-based site rather than a listing in the Apple App Store or Google Play, which is standard for offshore operators serving Australia. Players who want an app-like shortcut usually add the mobile site to their home screen instead.
Play within your means. 18+ only. If gambling stops being fun, Gambling Help Online (1800 858 858, gamblinghelponline.org.au) is free and confidential, and BetStop — the National Self-Exclusion Register — can block access across licensed and offshore sites alike.
