A giveaway picker your followers can trust
The fastest way to lose trust in a giveaway is a winner nobody saw being picked. With the SpinFair giveaway wheel, you add every entrant, spin on screen (or live on stream), and the result pop-up shows the spin number, how many entries were on the wheel and the time of the draw. Screenshot it or record it, and your audience can see the draw was fair.
How to pick a giveaway winner
- Collect your entries. Copy the usernames, names or ticket numbers from your comments, form responses or spreadsheet.
- Paste them into the wheel, one per line. Up to 1,000 entries fit on one wheel.
- Remove duplicates if your rules say one entry per person. Paste the list into a spreadsheet and use "Remove duplicates" first. If your rules allow extra entries (for example one entry per tag), leave the repeats in, since each one is a fair extra chance.
- Spin. Remove winner after each spin is already on, so the same person can't win twice.
- Announce the winner. Take a screenshot of the result pop-up, or click Share link to post the exact list of entries that was used.
Picking multiple winners
Spin once for every prize. Because each winner is removed, the next spin draws fairly from everyone who's left. The Results list keeps the order: the first name is 1st place, the second is 2nd place, and so on. To pick backup winners in case someone doesn't reply, keep spinning and note the extra names.
Running a giveaway on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube or Facebook
- Export or copy the comments. For large posts, a comment-export tool will give you a list of usernames you can paste here.
- Spin live. Use Fullscreen for a clean screen recording, or capture the wheel in OBS on a live stream.
- Follow each platform's promotion rules, and state clearly that the platform doesn't sponsor or endorse your giveaway.
- Post your rules before you start: the end date, who can enter, and how the winner will be picked ("random draw using SpinFair").
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.
