Spin the Wheel - Frequently Asked Questions

Is the wheel of names rigged?

Absolutely not! The wheel uses your browser's cryptographically strong random number generator to determine the landing angle. Every spin is mathematically random and unbiased.

Does the random picker save my list?

Only when you ask it to. Click "Save" in the sidebar and your list is stored in your browser's local storage, then restored the next time you open the site. Anything you type without saving is lost when you close or reload the tab. Nothing is sent to a server.

Is this raffle generator free?

Yes, Wheel of Names is 100% free to use. It is perfect for teachers in classrooms, raffle events, random giveaways, and fun decision making with friends.

How many names can I add?

You can add as many names as you like! The wheel is optimized to handle hundreds of entries. However, for the best visual experience and readability, we recommend lists of under 50 entries.

Can I customize the wheel colors?

Not at the moment. The wheel uses a fixed set of eight colors that repeat around the wheel. The Shuffle button changes which color each name gets, and the moon icon in the top bar switches the page between light and dark mode.

Does it work on mobile phones?

Absolutely. The wheel is fully responsive and touch-friendly. It works perfectly on all devices, including iPhones, Android phones, tablets, and desktop computers.

Is my data private?

Yes. We do not store your list on our servers. All data is saved locally in your browser's storage, ensuring your entries remain private and secure on your device.

How do I remove a winner?

After a winner is selected, a popup appears with a "Remove" button. Clicking this will remove that specific entry from the wheel so it cannot be picked again during the current session.

Can I use emojis?

Yes! The wheel fully supports emojis. You can add them directly to your entries to make the wheel more fun and visually engaging.

How do I shuffle the entries?

In the sidebar, you'll find a "Shuffle" button. Clicking this will instantly randomize the order of your list, which changes the arrangement of colors and names on the wheel.

Can I type multiple names at once?

Yes. You can paste a long list of names directly into the text box in the sidebar. Just ensure each name is on a new line, and the wheel will automatically generate entries for all of them.
