28 Mars Casino Verification
What to prepare, how to match your names and where to send documents safely, written for Australian players.
Verification is the identity check many online casinos run before paying out. Register with your legal name and Australian address, keep a valid ID ready, and make sure the name on your bank or PayID account matches it. Then ask 24/7 live chat which documents your account needs and where to send them.
Get verified step by step
Verification, also called KYC (know your customer), simply means proving that the person behind the account is a real adult whose details match what they typed in at sign-up. 28 Mars Casino publishes very little about its own process, apart from one rule for PayID deposits: the name on the bank account you pay from must match the name on your official ID. Everything else below is how the check normally works across online casinos and how to get ready for it, so you are never scrambling when a request lands in the middle of a good session.
The steps run in the order that saves the most time. Each one is small, and together they cover the situations that cause nearly all delays.
- 1. Register with your legal detailsUse your full name as printed on your driver licence or passport, not a nickname or a shortened first name. Enter the Australian address where you actually live and a date of birth that matches your ID. Most failed checks start with a small difference typed here on day one.
- 2. Ask live chat what your account needsSupport at 28 Mars Casino is available 24/7 through live chat on the site. Ask which documents are needed for your account, whether they are wanted now or at withdrawal, and how to submit them. Take the answer from chat rather than from a guide, this one included.
- 3. Prepare clear document photosLay the document on a plain, flat surface in daylight, switch the flash off to avoid glare, and leave a little margin around every edge of the card. Every line of text should be readable at full size. A scan from a flatbed scanner or a phone scanning app works well too.
- 4. Match your payment detailsPay and withdraw using methods held in your own name. For PayID, the paying bank account name has to match your ID. The same logic is sensible for Visa, Mastercard and Apple Pay: the card should belong to you.
- 5. Submit through the official channelSend files through live chat, or through an upload area inside your account if the site offers one. Do not forward them to a Telegram contact who wrote to you first, or to any email address that someone passes along in a message.
- 6. Follow up and keep recordsNote what you sent and when, and keep the chat transcript if the window lets you save it. If support asks for a sharper copy, reply in the same conversation so the history stays in one place.
What the screens look like
Below is the 28 Mars lobby in a desktop browser. Deposits, withdrawals and live chat all start from this screen, so it is the one you will use for most of the steps above.
Why a check usually comes before the first withdrawal
At most online casinos, depositing and playing need very little paperwork, while paying money out is where the identity check kicks in. The reasoning is straightforward: the operator wants to send winnings to the person who owns the account and to confirm that person is an adult. The wallet panel at 28 Mars Casino shows a minimum withdrawal of A$50, and individual methods carry their own minimums, so a first cash-out is the moment many players first hear about documents.
Since the casino does not publish when it asks, treat it as possible at any time and get your ID in order before you chase a withdrawal. It costs ten minutes now, against a stalled payout later. If you are curious how long payouts take in general, the page on withdrawal time explains what is and is not published.
What happens after you submit
Once your files are in, the casino's team compares them with the details on the account: name, date of birth, address and, where a payment method is involved, the name attached to that method. If everything lines up, the account is simply marked as checked and you may never hear another word. If something does not line up, a message usually arrives in the chat asking for a clearer copy or a missing document. Because 28 Mars does not publish its review times or its notification method, watch the live chat window and your account inbox, and enable push notifications if you want an alert on your phone.
On a phone the browser version does the job, and iPhone owners can pin it to the Home Screen, which makes it easy to return to the same chat from your phone. If you photograph documents on the same phone, you can upload them straight from the camera roll without moving files around.
How much time to give yourself
Nobody outside the casino can honestly promise a turnaround, so plan for the check to be finished before you need the money. A sensible habit is to sort verification the day you register, not the day you request a payout. That way a rejected photo is a minor nuisance on a quiet afternoon instead of a hold-up on a weekend when you wanted funds in your account.
Registering well makes everything easier
The cleanest verification is the one that finds nothing to question. Before you press register, take your licence or passport out and copy the details letter by letter. Pay attention to middle names, hyphens and apostrophes, and to the way your street address is written. If your licence still shows an old address, update it with your state road authority first, or be ready to supply a recent bill for the current one.
A phone number and email that you control matter as well. If you ever need to recover access, the same details will be checked against what is on file.
Documents worth preparing
28 Mars Casino has not published a list of accepted documents, so none of the items below is a promise about what the casino will ask for. They are the documents Australian players are asked for most often across the industry. If you have them handy, whichever request arrives can be answered in a few minutes. Live chat will tell you which of them apply to your account.
| Purpose | Usual document | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Identity | Driver licence | Both sides |
| Identity | Passport | Photo page |
| Age | Proof of age card | Front, back |
| Address | Utility bill | Recent |
| Address | Bank statement | Recent |
| Payment | Card photo | Mask digits |

Proof of identity
An Australian driver licence is the easiest, because the photo, full name, date of birth and often the address sit on one card. A passport is the other common choice and works well for players whose licence shows an old address. A proof of age card issued by a state authority is accepted by many operators for age confirmation. Expired documents are rarely accepted anywhere, so check the expiry date now. If yours ran out last month, renew it before you need it.
Proof of address
When an address check is requested, the usual answer is a power, gas or water bill, or a bank letter, dated in the last few months and carrying your name and street address. Recent usually means issued within the last few months, but the exact window is the casino's call, so ask. An app screenshot can bounce where the bank's own PDF goes straight through, so download the official file where you can. Never edit or crop away the account holder's name, because the name is the whole point.
Proof of payment method
For card payments, operators sometimes ask for a photo of the card to confirm it is yours. The usual advice is to cover the middle digits and the three-digit security code on the back, leaving the name and the first and last few digits visible. Ask live chat what they need to see, so you cover only what is safe to cover. For PayID and bank transfers, a statement or a screenshot from your banking app showing your name next to the payment can serve the same purpose. Apple Pay payments run through a card in your wallet, so the card behind it is the one that counts.
Share only what is asked, only with the official live chat or upload area, and only for your own account. If a request asks for more than seems needed, such as banking passwords or the full card number with its security code, stop and ask the chat to explain why.
Photo quality in practice
Most rejected uploads fail for dull reasons rather than anything about the person. Common culprits are a thumb covering a corner, glare from a plastic card, a photo of a screen showing the document, a file so compressed that the numbers blur, and a picture taken in a dim room. Fix these and your first attempt will usually pass.
- Put the document on a dark, plain surface so the edges stand out.
- Shoot straight from above rather than at an angle.
- Check that you can read the smallest print before sending.
- Send the file as a normal photo or PDF. If chat names a size limit or a format, follow that rather than guessing.
- Keep the original file on your device, in case a second request comes.
Common verification problems
Almost every verification snag falls into a handful of patterns. Knowing them in advance lets you avoid them, and if one has already happened, you will know what to tell support.
Name mismatch
The account says Sam, the ID says Samuel. Or the bank account used for PayID is a partner's, a parent's or a business account. For PayID this is the one rule 28 Mars states openly: the paying account name has to match your official ID. Fix the account details through support, and only use bank accounts and cards that carry your name from here on.
Shared bank accounts
Joint accounts show both holders in some banking apps and only one in others. If the name on the PayID payment is your partner's, it may not match your ID even though you can spend from the account. Check how the payer name appears in your app, or use a personal account that carries only your name.
Someone else's payment
Depositing from a friend's card, a relative's bank account or a shared Apple Pay wallet is a classic reason for a hold at online casinos in general. Keep every deposit and every withdrawal tied to methods that carry your own name, and nothing needs explaining.
Expired or old ID
A licence past its expiry date, or a passport about to lapse, is a frequent reason for a request to be sent back. Renew first, then upload the new document. Showing a card that is still in date saves a round trip.
Address mismatch
If you moved house and your licence still shows the old street, the address at sign-up and the one on your ID will disagree. Two sensible routes exist: update the address with your state road authority and upload the fresh card, or supply a recent bill or statement that proves where you live now. Mention the move in chat before you upload, because an explanation up front stops the file from being judged on the wrong basis.
Name changes after marriage or by deed
A new surname creates a gap between old documents and new ones. If your ID shows one name and your bank account another, support will usually want to see the document that links them, such as a marriage certificate or change-of-name certificate. Say so at the start of the chat. Then update the bank account, PayID and ID together so every record tells the same story.
PayID amounts and matching
On the payment side, 28 Mars publishes a few practical points for PayID: always pay to the latest PayID shown in the cashier, and paying an amount with random cents such as A$30.10 helps the deposit get matched faster. One PayID channel also lists CommBank and BankWest as not supported, so look at the notice on the channel before you transfer. Full payment details are on the payments page, and the wallet panel shows a minimum deposit of A$10, covered in the minimum deposit guide.
Do you need to verify before you deposit?
Not necessarily. Many casinos let you deposit and play first and ask for documents later. Whether 28 Mars does so for your account is something only live chat can answer, so do not assume either way. What is safe to assume is that your deposit method should carry your own name, because that rule is stated for PayID and sits sensibly behind every other method. Deposits start from A$10 according to the wallet panel, with PayID listed from A$5 and AUTRUST from A$20, and the full list of method minimums is on the payments page.
Bonuses and verification
The welcome offer is listed as 75% Extra on the first deposit, and its cap, wagering and expiry are not published. Casinos generally want the account holder confirmed before bonus winnings are paid, so a bonus is one more reason to have your documents ready. Read the terms shown with the offer and ask chat if the verification step affects how a bonus is cleared.
Keeping your account details current
Verification is not a one-off event forever. If you change surname, move house, renew your licence or switch banks, tell support so the file on your account stays in step with reality. Updating one detail and forgetting the rest is how mismatches appear months later, right when you want a payout. A short message in chat, with the new document attached if asked, is all it takes.
Staying in control of your play
Verification confirms who you are, but it does nothing for your limits. The site shows a Responsible Gaming mark, and the exact self-service tools and how to switch them on are not published, so ask the 24/7 live chat about deposit limits, time-out and self-exclusion. Free blocking software such as Gamban and BetBlocker can also keep gambling sites off your devices if you decide you need a break.
Privacy and who can ask
Your documents carry enough information to open accounts in your name, so handle them with care. Use the official live chat on the site, or an upload area inside your account if one is offered. 28 Mars also runs a Telegram bot, a Telegram channel, a WhatsApp group and a Facebook page, which are fine for news and general help, but they are public places, not vaults. Never post a photo of your ID in a group. Treat any direct message from a stranger who says they are support, offers to fast-track your account or asks for a document in a private chat as a scam attempt, and answer through live chat instead.
If a check did not work
A rejected document or a silent review is annoying, but it is almost always fixable. Work through the list in order and keep your messages short and factual.
First, find out the reason
Open live chat and ask what exactly was wrong with the file. A reason such as blurry image, cropped corner, expired document or name mismatch tells you what to fix. Without it you can send the same file three times and get the same answer three times.
Fix that one thing
- Blurry or dark: retake in daylight, with the camera held steady and the flash off.
- Cut-off corners: step back and let the whole document sit inside the frame.
- Expired document: upload a valid one, or renew yours first.
- Name does not match: add the linking document, or correct the account details through support.
- Address does not match: supply a recent bill or statement, or update your ID.
- Payment name does not match: switch to a bank account or card in your own name.
Send it the same way, once
Reply in the same chat, attach the improved file, and say what changed. Resist the urge to open a second chat or a second account. Duplicate requests make a queue longer, and a second account at the same casino tends to cause more verification trouble, not less.
28 Mars does not publish how long a review takes, so there is no deadline to quote. If it feels long, ask live chat for a status update on your case, and avoid resubmitting the same files while you wait unless chat asks you to.
Questions to put to live chat
Since the casino keeps its rules in the support team's hands, a clear list of questions turns a vague chat into a useful one. Copy and adapt these:
- Which documents do you need from me, and are they needed now or only for a withdrawal?
- Should I upload through chat or is there a place inside my account?
- Is there a format or file size I should use?
- Does my PayID or card need to match anything besides the name on my ID?
- How will I know when the check is finished?
When chat does not solve it
No phone number or email is published for the casino, so the live chat is the main door. It runs round the clock, which helps: try again at a quieter hour, request that a senior agent picks the case up if a reply does not address your point, and keep a record of your messages. The contact page lists the support routes the casino does publish, including the Telegram bot and channel, WhatsApp group and Facebook page.
If a stalled check coincides with a withdrawal you are waiting on, the withdrawal time page sets out what is known about payouts, and the payments page covers the methods and their minimums.
Looking after yourself while you wait
Waiting on a payout can be stressful. Do not chase the money by depositing more, and do not play to make up for the delay. If gambling is starting to feel hard to control, Gambling Help Online offers free 24/7 chat and phone support on 1800 858 858, and Lifeline is on 13 11 14 if you need to talk to someone about how you are feeling.
Verification myths and facts
Being asked for ID means something is wrong
Fact: An ID request is routine across online casinos. It is a standard step that confirms age and ownership of the account, and it is rarely a sign that you did something wrong.
A Telegram DM can speed things up
Fact: Private messages from people who say they are support are a common scam. Send documents only through the official live chat or an in-account upload, if one is offered.
A family member can pay for me
Fact: For PayID, 28 Mars states that the name on the paying bank account must match the name on your official ID. Pay from your own account.
Verification is only for big wins
Fact: Casinos set their own triggers, and 28 Mars does not publish them. A request can arrive with a small first cash-out, so prepare early and ask chat.
I must show my whole card
Fact: When a card photo is requested, covering the middle digits and the security code is the usual practice. Ask chat which parts must stay visible.
A new account fixes a rejected file
Fact: Opening another account usually creates a larger problem. Fix the document or the name mismatch on the account you already have.
The short version of what is known
The one verification rule 28 Mars publishes concerns PayID name matching. Documents, timing and file rules are not published, which is why this guide points you to live chat at each stage. If you are still deciding whether to sign up, the minimum deposit page shows what it takes to start, and a clean, correctly matched registration is the best way to keep your first withdrawal smooth.
