FAQs
Q: Is this free?
A: Yes. The wheel is free to use.
Q: Are my entries uploaded?
A: No. The wheel runs in your browser. Share links include the entries in the URL so only share lists you are comfortable sending.
Q: Can I make someone more likely to win?
A: Yes. Add a weight after a pipe, like Alex | 3. That entry gets three times the wheel space of a normal entry.
Q: Can the same winner be picked twice?
A: Yes, unless you turn on "Remove winner after spin". With removal enabled, the winning entry is deleted after the spin ends.
