What is Spin a Wheel?
Spin a Wheel is a free online random name picker and decision-making tool. Simply type in your entries — names, options, ideas, or anything else — and spin the wheel to get a truly random result. It's perfect for classrooms, raffles, giveaways, party games, and everyday decisions.
Unlike other tools that clutter the experience with ads and slow-loading frameworks, SpinAWheel is designed to be lightning fast, beautiful, and distraction-free. We believe a random picker should feel fun, not frustrating. Check out our step-by-step guide to see how easy it is to get started.
How Is It Fair?
SpinAWheel uses the browser's built-in Math.random() function combined with a random spin duration and target angle. Every segment of the wheel has an exactly equal probability of being selected. The wheel animation is purely visual — the winner is determined at the moment you click spin, not by the animation physics.
This means every entry has a perfectly fair chance of being picked, regardless of where it appears on the wheel or how fast the wheel spins. Whether you're running a classroom raffle or picking a giveaway winner, the result is always unbiased.
