About This Free Online Spin the Wheel
ToolGenie.org's Fortune Spinner is a free online spin the wheel, random picker, and decision wheel for classrooms, giveaways, standup icebreakers, dinner choices, and fair draws. It works like a lightweight wheel of names or picker wheel: customize segments, colors, and presets, then spin in the browser with no account required.
Unlike cloud-only wheels that upload your list to a server, this decision wheel keeps options on your device. Configuration persists in local storage, share links encode the wheel in the URL fragment, and analytics only receive bounded signals such as option-count buckets — never the names on the wheel.
Teachers use it as a random name picker for cold-calling. Event hosts use it as a raffle wheel. Teams use it as a random decision maker when Yes/No or a shortlist of options is enough. Smooth deceleration animation and browser-based randomness keep the experience fair and readable on phones and desktops.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How does this spin the wheel / random picker work?
When you click Spin the Wheel, the tool picks a random rotation using the browser's crypto random API when available (falling back to Math.random), then animates the wheel to that angle. The segment under the top pointer is the winner. Each spin is independent with equal chance per remaining segment.
Can I paste a list of names into the picker wheel?
Yes. Use Paste options and enter one name or choice per line. Blank lines are ignored. Imports must include between 2 and 50 options; counts outside that range show a validation message and leave your current wheel unchanged.
How do I remove a winner after spinning the wheel?
Enable Eliminate winner after spin. After each spin, the winner is added to history and removed from the wheel. When only one option remains, it is shown as the final decision and further spins are disabled until you reset or reload a preset.
How do I share a custom spin the wheel link?
Click Copy share link. The link stores your options and colors in the URL fragment (after #) so opening it recreates the same wheel. Fragments are not sent to ToolGenie.org servers or analytics, so shared labels stay out of our logs.
Does my wheel configuration save if I refresh the page?
Yes. The current options, colors, preset selection, and eliminate toggle are stored in local storage on your device. Spin history is session-only and is not persisted, so reloads keep the wheel setup without replaying past winners.
Is this a good free alternative to wheel of names for classrooms?
Yes for many classroom and raffle workflows: paste a roster, eliminate winners so students are not called twice, copy the winner, and share the wheel link with a co-teacher. It is not affiliated with Wheel of Names; it is ToolGenie.org's free browser decision wheel focused on privacy and speed.
Can the same name win twice on this spin the wheel?
With eliminate mode off, any remaining segment can win again on later spins. With eliminate mode on, each winner is removed, so the same option cannot win again until you reset or re-import the list.
Does the random picker wheel work on mobile?
Yes. The decision wheel is fully client-side and responsive on phones, tablets, and desktops. Paste a list, spin, copy the winner, or open a shared link without installing an app.
Tips for Fair Spins, Raffles, and Classroom Picks
- 💡Show the list before you spin: Let participants see every segment so the random picker feels transparent for giveaways and class cold-calls.
- 💡Use eliminate mode for unique turns: Remove winners automatically when you need each person or option to appear only once.
- 💡Bookmark or share the URL: Copy share link after you finish editing so co-hosts reopen the same decision wheel without retyping names.
- 💡Keep labels short: Aim for brief names (about 1–3 words) and stay within 2–50 options so text stays readable on the spinning wheel.
- 💡Weight favorites carefully: Add the same option more than once only when you intentionally want higher odds — otherwise keep one segment per choice for fairness.
