Questions and answers

Frequently asked questions about the wheel of fortune

A quick guide to how the randomizer works and how to pick a giveaway winner with the wheel.

What is an online wheel of fortune?

An online wheel of names is a randomizer that splits a circle into sectors from your list of participants and stops on a random name. It is also called a wheel of names, because the sectors carry the names of the participants. In GiveawayOK the wheel of fortune runs right in the browser, so there is nothing to install on a computer or a phone.

What is the difference between a wheel of names and a wheel of fortune?

A wheel of names and a wheel of fortune work the same way β€” what differs is the name and what goes into the sectors. A wheel of fortune is the general term, and its sectors can hold anything: prizes, dares, numbers. It is called a wheel of names when the sectors carry the names or usernames of the people entering your giveaway, which is exactly how the GiveawayOK randomizer works.

How do I run a giveaway with the wheel of fortune?

Add the participants, one per line, turn on duplicate removal if you need it and press "Spin the wheel". The wheel stops on a random name and that name is the winner of the giveaway.

Is the wheel of fortune free?

Yes, the randomizer is completely free and works without registration. You can spin the wheel as many times as you like.

How many participants can the wheel hold?

The list itself has no limit: put every participant on its own line and the randomizer works out the sectors. Labels stay readable up to roughly forty names β€” past that the sectors turn into slivers, so announce the winner from the result rather than from the picture.

How fair is the winner selection?

The pick is entirely random: every participant has an equal chance and the result cannot be nudged. Where the wheel stops is decided only at the moment you press the button.

How do I pick a contest winner from comments?

Export the comments from a post or Reels into an Excel or CSV file, paste the usernames into the wheel of fortune and spin it. That keeps a giveaway on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Threads or YouTube transparent for your followers.

Can I spin the wheel on a phone?

Yes, the wheel of fortune is built for phones and tablets, so it is easy to show in stories or on a live stream while you run the giveaway.

What else is the wheel of fortune good for?

For contests, picking a winner among friends, drawing lots in a classroom or a team β€” anywhere a random pick is needed: the wheel replaces a dice roll or names pulled out of a hat.
