Frequently Asked Questions
What is Spin The Wheels?
A free collection of random picker wheels and tools – spin the wheel, wheel of names, coin flip, dice, team and name pickers, party games and more. No sign-up, no ads.
Is the wheel truly random?
Yes. Results come from the browser's cryptographically secure random generator, and the winner is chosen before the animation starts. You can test it on the randomness audit page.
Can the wheel be rigged?
No hidden setting changes the odds. The only way to change chances is a duplicate entry or a weight like "Ana | 3", and both make the slice visibly bigger.
Do I need an account?
No. Everything works without an account. Your wheels are saved in your browser.
Where are my saved wheels?
In My Wheels, stored in your browser's local storage on the device and browser you used. Clearing site data deletes them, so share a link if you need a backup.
How do share links work?
The share icon uploads a copy of the wheel and gives you a link. Anyone with the link can spin it (and copy it, if you allow). Links expire after 183 days.
How many entries can a wheel have?
Thousands. For long lists, limit how many labels are drawn in Customize – every entry keeps its chance.
How do I remove the winner after each spin?
Turn on Auto-remove winner in Customize, or use Popup mode and press Remove.
Can I add images to the wheel?
Yes. Press the image button in the editor and choose a picture for an entry. Images are resized and stored on your device.
Can I spin more than one wheel?
Yes. Press Add wheel to add up to four wheels and Spin all to spin them together.
Does it work offline?
After your first visit the main pages and scripts are cached, so the wheel keeps working with a weak or no connection. Share links need a connection.
Can I use it for giveaways?
Yes. Paste the entries, record the screen while you spin and keep the Results list. You are responsible for following platform and local rules.
Can I use it on a projector or in a stream?
Yes. Use fullscreen mode for projectors and smart boards, or capture the browser window in your streaming software.
Is it free?
Yes – every tool is free with no ads and no paid plan.
Is it safe for kids and classrooms?
Yes. There is no sign-up, no ads, no 18+ content and nothing is uploaded unless you create a share link.
