Yes, pretty strict anti gambling laws. And a massive loophole with pachinko. But officially you don't win anything of value in pachinko. Then there are a few exceptions in lottery, horse races and a few others
I doubt that OT would qualify to be gambling, and that is the reason.

This year's birthday present arrived today (a bit early). A nice set of two Royal Copenhagen tea mugs.
Looking forward to see if JAL Diamond (Oneworld Emerald) triggers something as well, or if SK is "ahead" of JL ;-)

Just noted I had been granted my first ever birthday present of 1000 points.
I do not know though if those points came in only after a qualifying flight or not. I neither got any letter or sign-up whatsoever

I received 1000 extra points birthday present in April when my qualifying period began, even though my birthday is in February. First time for me too.

When I was SAS Gold I did not receive any gifts for my birthday from SAS. This year Czech Airlines offered me 3000 points for my birthday if I take a flight with them in the next 3 months. Currently I have with them only basic card.

I got the 1000 point sign up and fly birthday greeting as well, so it exists in Japan as despite the other gift. I got the mail on my actual birthday and had to fly within 3 months to get the points.
