Decisions are easier when a wheel makes them. Add anything — names for a giveaway, restaurants for lunch, students for the next question, chores nobody wants — and spin: the wheel whirls with real physics-feel easing and lands on a winner with a celebration. Entries are weighted equally, the result is verifiably random for the room, and a remove-winner option keeps raffles fair across multiple draws. It is the classroom, stream and office favourite for a reason. The wheel’s psychology is the real product: a decision everyone watched being made fairly is a decision nobody relitigates. That is why teachers use it for cold-calling, managers for the Friday lunch venue, and streamers for giveaways — the animation is due process made visible. Load the entries in front of your audience, let someone else press the button, and even the losers accept the outcome, because the process belonged to everyone in the room.
Quick Answer: Type your entries one per line, click SPIN, and watch the wheel choose. Enable “remove winner” for raffles so nobody wins twice.

Best Practices and Tips
- For giveaways, show the entry list before spinning so the room trusts the draw.
- Two entries is a coin flip with better graphics — sometimes that is all a decision needs.
- Duplicate a name to weight the odds intentionally (two segments = double chance), and say so openly.
- Classroom cold-calling stays kind with remove-winner off — everyone stays in the pool, nobody hides.
- Screenshot the winner moment for giveaway proof posts.
- For classroom use, project the wheel and let the previous winner press SPIN for the next round — participation turns a selection tool into a tiny ritual the class actually enjoys.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Spinning with one entry and expecting suspense.
- Forgetting remove-winner on a raffle and crowning the same person twice.
- Weighting entries silently in a public draw — fairness theatre only works when it is fair.
- Letting the wheel decide genuinely important things. It is for lunch, not life choices.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the wheel really random?
Yes — the spin starts with a cryptographically random target angle and speed, so outcomes are not predictable or rigged by the page.
How many entries can I add?
Up to 40 lines comfortably; beyond that, segment labels get tiny. For big raffles, draw in rounds.
What does remove-winner do?
After a win, that entry leaves the list so subsequent spins pick from the remaining entries — the standard raffle rule.
Can I use it for giveaways on streams?
Absolutely — it is a favourite for exactly that. Keep the entries visible for transparency.
Is this wheel free?
Yes — free, unlimited and no sign-up required.
Can I save my wheel entries?
Entries live in the text box during your session — copy them into a note to reuse a list later, and paste them back whenever you return.
