Got Questions?
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about randomness, privacy, custom lists, and live streaming on SpinWheel.
Is this wheel spinner truly random and fair?
Yes, 100%. SpinWheel uses the browser's native Web Crypto API (crypto.getRandomValues) to generate cryptographically strong random values. The winning slice is calculated mathematically before the spinning animation begins, ensuring the outcome is completely unbiased and cannot be manipulated.
How do I use this as a Wheel of Names for classrooms or giveaways?
Simply switch to the Text tab in the right panel and paste your list of student names or giveaway participants (one per line). Then turn on the 'Remove winner automatically' toggle in Settings so that once a person is chosen, their name is automatically taken off the wheel for subsequent rounds.
How does the Go Live Stream Room feature work?
Clicking the 'Go Live' button in the top menu creates a secure, real-time broadcast room. You get a shareable viewer link that you can give to your audience on Twitch, YouTube, TikTok, or Zoom. Whenever you trigger a spin, all connected viewers see the wheel spin simultaneously on their screens with zero delay.
How many names or entries can I put on the wheel?
There is no artificial limit. You can add as few as 2 choices or paste lists of hundreds or thousands of names. The wheel engine dynamically scales slice angles and label typography so the wheel stays crisp and readable regardless of entry count.
Can I spin multiple wheels at the same time?
Yes! You can add multiple wheel tabs at the bottom of the workspace. This allows you to manage different wheels simultaneously—for example, spinning Wheel 1 to pick a contestant and Wheel 2 to pick a challenge.
How do weighted entries and probabilities work?
In Advanced mode, each entry can have a custom weight (such as 1, 2, 5, or 10). An entry with a weight of 2 occupies twice as much physical slice area and has exactly twice the chance of winning compared to an entry with a weight of 1.
Will I lose my wheel if I refresh or close my browser?
No. All your wheel entries, colors, and settings are automatically autosaved to your browser's local IndexedDB storage. If you want to access your wheels across multiple computers or phones, you can create a free account to sync them securely to the cloud.
Is SpinWheel free to use? Do I need to create an account?
SpinWheel is completely free to use with unlimited spins and no mandatory signup. Creating a free account is optional if you wish to save multiple custom wheels to the cloud or manage private live rooms.
