... that it will soon be illegal for government employees in Georgia to gamble? Source: "A new law, passed by parliament on December 22, forbids gambling for several classes of people, including those receiving government assistance, government workers, and anyone under 25."

I moved a citation to support the hook in the article - it was needed end of sentence.

@
Piotrus and
Casablanca Rock: Another issue is the source for the hook says, "In response to the criticism, the implementation of the law was postponed from January 1 to March 1." One of our rules is that the hook must have facts that are not likely to change
WP:DYKHOOK. Was the law implemented on March 1? If so this article and hook will not be accurate. Also per
WP:DYKCOMPLETE this article needs to be developed.

@
Lightburst, I will improve the sections as you've stated. The citation I had there was the best English language citation I could find, but there are more accurate Georgian language sources that explain more about the implementation of the law. It was delayed until June 1. The
Georgian government released an update to the 2005 gambling law on the website of the legal corpus specifying the law going into effect on June 1. Sorry that this is a bit confusing, that previous article that has a lot of information about the law in English did not have the update of the law being delayed in implementation until June 1 instead of March 1. Please let me know if that source isn't good and I can try to find something else. There is an English language source that does mention the delayed implementation, but it is from a gambling industry news site. I cited it in the article itself, but I was not sure if that would be helpful/good for DYK. Casablanca 🪨(

Lightburst: Thank you all for your patience in allowing me time to resolve the issue relating to the implementation date. I added the citation to the Georgian law that shows the implementaiton date now. I'll try to be faster about resolving these issues in the future. Casablanca 🪨(

Thanks for the corrections. "In the 2000s, gambling took off in Georgia." Took off is not encyclopedic. I think we can approve this now. The hook is interesting and I see it cited in the article.

I think our hook needs a tweak to be country of Georgia specific.
ALT0a: ... that in the country of Georgia, it will soon be illegal for government employees to gamble? Any further discussion can continue at
