Frequently asked questions

How does the spin wheel work?

Type one name or option per line — the wheel updates instantly. Click SPIN, the wheel or press Space; the winner is chosen fairly by the cryptographic random generator before the animation starts.

Can some entries have a better chance?

Yes — add a weight like “Pizza *3” and that entry gets three times the chance (and a bigger slice).

Can I pick several winners or make teams?

Yes — “Pick winners” draws any number of different winners at once, and “Make teams” splits the list into a number of teams or teams of a set size.

Can I remove winners after each spin?

Yes — tick “Remove the winner from the list”, or click “Remove from list” after a spin.

Are my names saved?

Your list is kept in this browser, and you can save several named lists. Nothing is uploaded.
