What is the SpinFair wheel spinner?
SpinFair is a free online wheel spinner that picks a random result from any list. Add names, prizes, tasks, questions or anything else, one per line, and spin. The pointer at the top shows the winner, and a pop-up confirms it with the spin number and how many entries were on the wheel.
People use it as a wheel of names in class, a raffle wheel for giveaways, a decision wheel when friends can't agree, and a turn picker for games and meetings. There's nothing to install and no account to create, and it works the same on phones, tablets, laptops and classroom smartboards.
How to spin the wheel
- Add your entries. Type or paste them into the Entries box, one per line. You can paste a column straight from Excel or Google Sheets.
- Choose your options. Tick Remove winner after each spin if nobody should be picked twice. Turn the tick sound on or off.
- Spin. Click SPIN, click the wheel itself, or press Ctrl + Enter.
- See the result. The winner appears in a pop-up and is added to the Results list. You can also remove the winner from the wheel right from the pop-up.
- Share or save. Click Share link to copy a link that opens the same wheel for anyone. Your list is also saved in this browser for next time.
How SpinFair keeps every spin fair
Most wheel sites use Math.random(), which is fine for games but isn't built for fairness. SpinFair picks the winner with crypto.getRandomValues(), the same cryptographic random source browsers use to make passwords and security keys. We also use rejection sampling, so every entry gets exactly the same chance, with no small bias towards the first items on the list.
The winner is chosen before the wheel starts moving, and the animation simply lands on it. Spin speed, how hard you click or when you click can't change the result. Nobody can rig it, including us: your entries stay in your browser and are never sent to a server.
Popular ways to use a spinning wheel
- Classrooms: pick a student to answer, choose who presents first, or turn a lesson into a game. Fullscreen mode looks great on a projector.
- Giveaways and raffles: pick a fair winner from comments or entries. Use the no-repeat option to draw 2nd and 3rd place.
- Everyday decisions: what to eat, which movie to watch, where to go this weekend.
- Work and meetings: choose who runs the standup, the order of presentations, or who gets the next task.
- Games and parties: truth or dare, forfeits, categories, or simply who goes first.

Need a special kind of wheel?

Frequently asked questions
Is the SpinFair wheel truly random?
Yes. The winner is chosen with your browser's cryptographic random number generator (crypto.getRandomValues), using rejection sampling so every entry has exactly equal odds. The result is decided before the animation starts.
Can the wheel be rigged?
No. There are no hidden settings, weights or admin controls. Each entry gets the same chance. The only way to give something better odds is to add it to the list more than once, and anyone looking at the wheel can see that.
How many entries can I add to the wheel?
Up to 1,000 entries. Labels are drawn on the wheel for up to 200 entries; above that, the wheel shows colored slices and the winner appears in the pop-up.
How do I stop the same name being picked twice?
Tick Remove winner after each spin before you spin. You can also click Remove from wheel in the result pop-up after any spin.
Is my list saved?
Yes. Your entries are saved automatically in your browser on this device. To open the same wheel on another device, or to share it, use the Share link button.
Do I need to sign up or download anything?
No. SpinFair runs in your web browser, is free to use, and needs no account.
Does it work on a phone or smartboard?
Yes. The wheel resizes for any screen. Tap the wheel or the SPIN button to spin, and use Fullscreen for projectors and interactive whiteboards.
