01 / GUIDE

How the name spin wheel works

The wheel combines a visible draw with cryptographically secure selection. The animation displays the result chosen at the start; it does not choose a winner afterwards.

  1. 01Add one name per line or import a CSV file.
  2. 02Choose normal or elimination mode and adjust time, sound and colors.
  3. 03Spin the wheel. The winner, odds and timestamp are added to the history.
02 / USE CASES

Popular uses

  • Pick students or speakers fairly
  • Draw winners for raffles and giveaways
  • Randomize tasks, orders or teams
  • Decide on food, a movie or an activity

Fair selection and weights

Without weights every active entry has the same chance. “Name | 3” gives one entry three shares. Random values come from crypto.getRandomValues, and eliminated winners are no longer eligible.

03 / FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01Is the name wheel truly random?+

Yes. The winner is selected before the animation with the browser’s cryptographically secure random function. The wheel then lands on that entry.

02Can I prevent the same person from winning twice?+

Yes. Elimination mode automatically removes each winner until you reset removed entries.

03How do weighted names work?+

Add a vertical bar and a weight after a name, for example “Alex | 3”. Alex then has three times the chance of an entry with weight 1.

04Are my names uploaded or stored?+

Processing stays in your browser. Data is saved permanently only when you choose “Save locally”. A shared link contains the list in its URL fragment.

05Does it work on iPhone and Android?+

Yes. The wheel is optimized for touch, iPhone Safari, Android, tablets and desktop browsers.
