Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to what teachers, hosts and streamers ask us most
Is the Spin & Pick wheel random?
Yes. Before the wheel moves, the winner is drawn with the browser’s cryptographic random number generator, weighted by slice size. The spin animation then lands on that result. Position and colour do not affect the odds.
Can I prove a spin was fair?
Copy the link after the spin. It carries the wheel and the seed of that spin, so anyone who opens it sees the identical spin land on the identical result.
How do I make one option more likely?
Write a weight after it: "Pizza *3" gives pizza three slices’ worth of chance. Decimals work too ("Edge *0.05").
How do I stop the same option winning twice?
Open Settings under the options box and tick "Remove the winner after each spin". Restore hidden brings everything back.
Where is my list saved?
In the page address. Copy link to this wheel and bookmark it; the link holds your options and settings. We have no accounts and store nothing.
Can I use it on a projector or a stream?
Yes. Fullscreen enlarges the wheel and the result. Space spins. Sound is off by default and can be turned on.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. Tap the wheel or the SPIN button; the result is shown large. The share link works between phone and laptop.
How many options can a wheel hold?
Hundreds. Labels stop being drawn when slices get too thin to read; the winner is always shown in full above the wheel.
How does Spin & Pick make money?
Through advertising kept away from the wheel itself, and occasionally through affiliate links in guides. See the advertising disclosure.
