Your 28Mars Welcome Offer, Decoded: Wagering and Terms
New players can claim up to A$1,000 in bonus funds plus 100 free spins, or take a 75% first-deposit match up to A$500, per the operator's current promotion page — pick whichever shape suits your first deposit. Beyond that, 28Mars runs deposit-linked promotions, occasional promo codes, and a VIP layer for regular players. This page covers the mechanics that stay constant between offers: wagering requirements, game-weighting, and how a claimed bonus can be forfeited.
Deposit-linked promotions
The standard shape is a credit added on top of a qualifying deposit, unlocked for withdrawal only after it has been wagered a set number of times. That multiplier applies to the bonus amount, the deposit, or both combined depending on how the specific offer is written — the welcome offer's exact wagering multiplier and any other live promotions sit on the operator's own promotions page, reached through the Play Now button.
Promo codes
Where a promo code exists, it is entered at signup or at the deposit step, and it typically unlocks one specific offer rather than acting as a general discount. Codes rotate and expire, and a code found on a third-party page carries no guarantee of still being active — checking it against the operator's own current promotions listing before relying on it is the only reliable step.
Referral and VIP activity
Programs of this type in the wider industry typically pay based on ongoing activity: a flat amount when a referred player signs up and deposits, plus a share of that player's activity over time, or a tiered VIP structure keyed to a player's own turnover. Whatever 28Mars currently runs sits under its own separate terms from the one-off deposit promotions, and again, the live figures belong on the operator's page rather than fixed here.
Wagering requirements and game weighting
A wagering requirement is a multiplier applied to a bonus (and sometimes the deposit that triggered it) that has to be bet through before any winnings tied to it become withdrawable. Not every game counts equally toward that total: pokies commonly count at or close to 100%, while table games, live formats, and certain low-volatility or high-RTP titles are typically weighted lower or excluded outright, which is a near-universal pattern across the industry rather than something 28Mars invented. Betting on excluded games while a bonus is active does not fail the wagering requirement outright, but it also does not progress it, which is the mistake that most often eats a bonus unintentionally.
Where terms cause forfeiture
Across offshore casinos generally, withdrawing before a wagering requirement clears typically forfeits the remaining bonus balance and any winnings attached to it, leaving only the original deposit portion available to cash out. A maximum-cashout cap on bonus winnings is also common, meaning winnings from a bonus can be limited to a multiple of the bonus itself even after wagering is complete. Both of these are general patterns worth checking against the current terms rather than assumptions to rely on outright.
The welcome offer above (up to A$1,000 + 100 free spins, or 75% up to A$500) is per the operator's current promotion page and can change. Treat every other percentage, multiplier or cap on this page as a description of how the mechanic generally works, and confirm live numbers before opting in — then play now to claim it.
Frequently asked questions
On the operator's own current promotions page, reached through the enter button on this site. Figures change often enough that printing a specific number here would likely be wrong within weeks, which is why this page covers the mechanics rather than the amounts.
No, and this is close to universal across the industry: pokies commonly count at or near 100% toward clearing a wagering requirement, while table games, live formats and low-volatility titles are typically weighted much lower or excluded outright. The operator's own terms page sets the exact weighting.
Standard practice across the category is that withdrawing early forfeits the remaining bonus balance and any winnings tied to it, leaving only the original deposit portion available. That is a general-industry pattern rather than a figure specific to 28Mars, and it is worth confirming against the current terms before assuming it applies exactly as described.
No — a referral or VIP layer typically pays based on activity a player generates over time (their own play, or play from people they refer) rather than as a single deposit-matched credit, and it usually carries its own separate terms from the one-off promotions.
