Frequently Asked Questions
Is the random wheel truly random?
Yes. spin2choose uses the browser's secure Cryptography API
(window.crypto.getRandomValues) to pick each winner, which guarantees a cryptographically
fair result on every spin. It is not a predictable pseudo-random sequence like many other spinner
wheels.
Is spin2choose free? Do I need to sign up?
spin2choose is 100% free with no account, no sign-up, no ads in the wheel, and no watermarks. Open the page and start spinning.
Can I save my wheel for later or share it with others?
Your entries, colors, theme, and settings are saved automatically to your browser's local storage, so your wheel is waiting the next time you visit. You can also share a wheel with anyone using the Share button, which encodes the full wheel into a URL — no account required.
Can I give some entries a higher chance of winning?
Yes. Every entry has a weight multiplier from 1x to 5x. Higher multipliers get a proportionally larger slice of the wheel and are more likely to win, so you can run weighted raffles, prize tiers, or biased decisions.
How many names can I put on the wheel?
You can add up to 200 names or items. The wheel engine automatically scales text so every slice stays readable, even with long lists.
Can I add images, logos, or custom colors to entries?
Yes. Each entry can have a custom color, a circular logo shown at the outer edge of its slice, and a background image that fills the segment. When a winner is announced, their logo or image appears in the winner modal.
Does spin2choose work on phones and tablets?
Yes. The wheel is fully responsive and touch-friendly. On mobile, a bottom bar gives you quick access to entries and customize controls, and the wheel scales to fit any screen size.
Can I remove the winner after each spin?
Yes. After a spin you can keep or remove the winner with one click, or turn on Auto-Remove in Customize so each winner is automatically taken off the wheel — perfect for raffles and draft orders.
Is my data private?
Yes. Your wheels never leave your device. spin2choose stores everything in your browser's local storage — there is no server database, no account, and no tracking of your entries.
