How to Use the Wheel Spinner

Using the wheel is simple. Type your entries in the box below the wheel — one option per line — and they appear on the wheel instantly. Then click the wheel, tap the Spin button, or press the Spacebar. The wheel spins with a realistic 3D motion, slows down naturally, and the pointer lands on a random winner.

Choose 6, 12, 18, or 24 segments with the preset buttons, or just type as many options as you like — the wheel always matches your list. Turn on Remove winner after each spin to draw entries without repeats, which is perfect for raffles, giveaways, and picking teams. Everything is saved automatically in your browser.

What Can You Use a Spin Wheel For?

A random wheel cuts through indecision and makes choosing fun and fair. People use this spinner every day for:

Is the Wheel Truly Random?

Yes. This wheel does not use the ordinary Math.random() function. Instead, every spin is decided by crypto.getRandomValues() — the same cryptographically secure random number generator used in encryption and secure systems. It draws on high-entropy sources from your device to produce a result that is genuinely unpredictable and impossible to game.

The winning segment is chosen the instant you spin, and the animation simply rotates the wheel to land on that already-decided result. Every segment has an exactly equal chance, so the outcome is provably fair.

Why did I get the same result twice in a row?

That is a normal part of true randomness. Each spin is a completely independent event — past spins have zero influence on the next one, just like flipping a coin can land heads several times in a row. If you want to guarantee no repeats, switch on Remove winner after each spin and each winner is taken off the wheel automatically.

Customize Your Wheel

Every wheel is fully editable. Add or remove options by typing in the entry box, and pick the number of segments that fits your list. The wooden 3D design keeps labels readable even at 24 segments, with text that automatically resizes to fit. Your wheel is saved locally, so it is still there the next time you open the page on the same device — no account required.

Why Use an Online Wheel Instead of Drawing Names From a Hat?

A digital wheel is faster, fairer, and fully visible to everyone watching. There is no chance of a rigged draw, no folded papers to prepare, and no arguments about whether the pick was fair. The result is generated by a secure algorithm with no human bias, and with the remove-winner option you can run an entire multi-round draw in seconds — ideal for classrooms, live events, streams, and giveaways.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the spin wheel free?

Yes, completely free with no limits, no sign-up, and no app to install. It works in any modern browser on desktop, tablet, and phone.

How many options can I add to the wheel?

Use the 6, 12, 18, and 24 presets, or type your own list of any length — the wheel updates to match. Labels shrink automatically so they stay readable even on a crowded wheel.

Can I remove a winner after it is picked?

Yes. Turn on "Remove winner after each spin" and each result is taken off the wheel, so no name is picked twice. This is ideal for raffles, team drafts, and elimination games.

Is the wheel result really random?

Yes. The winner is chosen with your browser's cryptographically secure crypto.getRandomValues() generator — not the basic Math.random() — so every result is genuinely unpredictable and every segment is equally likely.

Does my wheel save when I close the browser?

Yes. Your entries are stored in your browser's local storage and stay there between visits on the same device. Clearing your browser data or switching devices starts fresh.

Can I use the wheel on my phone?

Absolutely. The 3D wheel runs in any mobile browser with tap-to-spin and haptic feedback on supported devices. No download needed.

What is the difference between the wheels?

The main wheel is a blank canvas for any options. The Yes or No wheel is preloaded for quick binary decisions, and the Team Picker is set up for choosing names and teams. All use the same fair, secure spin.
