Frequently Asked Questions

Enter names or items into the entries panel on the right, then click "SPIN" or click the wheel itself. The wheel spins with a smooth deceleration and stops on a randomly selected entry. Every entry has an equal probability of being chosen each time you spin.

Yes. The winner is chosen with the browser's cryptographic random number generator (crypto.getRandomValues) before the animation even begins — the spin itself is purely visual. The target segment is calculated first, and the wheel is animated to land precisely on it. No outcome can be predicted or influenced by how long you watch.

Switch to the "Bulk Edit" tab in the entries panel. You can paste or type a list of names — one per line — and the wheel updates instantly. This is the fastest way to load a large list of participants.

Yes! Open the Options panel (the gear icon on the wheel page) and enable "Auto-remove Winner". The winning entry will be removed from the wheel after each spin, so it can't be picked again — perfect for raffles and contests.

Up to 50,000. Above about 240 entries the wheel starts showing a sample of them, because a wheel only has so much rim: at 50,000 slices each one would be a thirtieth of a pixel wide, which no screen can draw. The draw itself always runs across every entry you have added, and the wheel stops on whichever one wins — so a 50,000-name raffle really is 1-in-50,000. The wheel says "showing 240 of 50,000" whenever it is sampling, so you are never guessing. Note that share links and QR codes cannot carry a list that large; use Export to send a big wheel as a file.

You can use the Share button to copy a URL that encodes your wheel title and names directly into the link. Anyone who opens that URL will see your wheel pre-loaded and ready to spin. No account required.

Absolutely. The wheel is fully touch-friendly. You can tap the wheel or the Spin button on any device. The layout automatically adapts for smaller screens, stacking the wheel and entries panel vertically.

Yes, two ways. Pick a palette in Options — Classic, Pastel, Corporate, Sunset, Forest or Slate — and every segment recolours at once. Or set a single entry's colour directly: each row in the entry list has a colour dot that opens your browser's colour picker, so you can match brand colours for a prize wheel or event. Entries you do not set individually keep the palette colour for their position, which is what guarantees neighbouring segments never share a shade. Custom colours travel in share links and saved wheels.
