Every wheel says it is fair. This one shows you.
The biggest wheel site on the internet tells you it produces "the fairest result by using the advanced algorithm behind it". That is a sentence you cannot check. It might be true. There is no way to find out.
So there is a button here that runs the draw a million times and puts what each name actually got next to what it should have got. It takes a fraction of a second, because a million draws is genuinely quick once you stop drawing a wheel for each one.
It also tells you how far off you should expect to be. A gap of nothing at all after a million draws would be more suspicious than a small one, and without a yardstick a number on its own tells you nothing.
The winner is drawn before the wheel moves
This sounds like cheating and it is the opposite.
The alternative is to spin a physics animation and take whatever it lands on. That feels more honest, and it makes the result depend on the easing curve, the frame rate and how long the browser decided to run the animation for. None of those are uniform, and none of them can be tested.
Here the random draw happens first, on its own, and the wheel is then told where to stop. The part that decides the winner is a few lines of arithmetic that can be run a million times and checked. The spin is the part that makes it fun.
A weight changes the slice, not just the odds
Put x3 after a name and it takes three times as much of the wheel, and has three times the chance. Those are the same fact here rather than two separate settings.
That matters because some wheels let you weight the odds while leaving every slice the same size. The wheel then shows one thing and does another, which is a lie told with geometry, and it is invisible unless you count.
Removing the winner is how a raffle works
When a name comes up you can take it off and spin again, which is drawing without replacement: the same person cannot win twice.
Spinning again without removing anybody is a different thing, and it is what most wheels do by default. For picking who goes first that is right. For drawing three prizes it is not, and it will eventually hand two to the same person in front of everybody.
The seed is there so you can be challenged
Every spin is seeded and the seed is printed next to the winner. Put it back in and you get the same result.
If you are drawing for something with real value, somebody will eventually ask. Being able to reproduce the draw is the difference between an answer and an argument.
One honest limit: this is a pseudorandom generator, which is exactly right for a classroom, a team pick or a raffle down the pub. It is not the right tool where somebody has a serious financial incentive to predict the outcome, and it does not pretend otherwise.
Nothing is held back
No account, no export limit, no watermark, and no feature waiting behind a subscription. The names never leave your browser.
The wheel sites this competes with mostly do the same job well and then meter something: image uploads, saved wheels, removing their branding. There is nothing here to meter.
Common questions
How do I know the wheel is actually fair?
Press the million button and watch. It runs the same draw a million times in a fraction of a second and shows what every name actually got against what it should have got, with the amount of wobble you should expect from chance alone so you can tell a normal gap from a suspicious one. Every wheel site claims to be fair. This one lets you check in four seconds.
Is the result decided by where the wheel stops?
No, the other way round. It is the honest order. The winner is drawn first and the wheel is then told where to land. Spinning an animation and reading off wherever it happens to stop sounds fairer but makes the outcome a property of the easing curve and your frame rate, which is neither uniform nor testable.
Can I give someone a better chance?
Yes. Put x3 after a name and it gets three times the slice and three times the chance. Those are the same number here on purpose: the arc a name occupies is exactly its probability, so the picture and the odds can never disagree. Some wheels let you weight the odds without changing the slice, which is a lie told with geometry.
Can I draw several winners?
Yes. When a name comes up, press remove and spin again, and it comes off the wheel for the next draw. Everyone can be put back in one click. That is the right way to draw a raffle: without replacement, so nobody wins twice unless you meant it.
Can I prove the draw afterwards?
Every spin is seeded and the seed is shown with the winner. The same seed always produces the same result, so you can reproduce the draw later rather than asking people to take your word for it. For anything with real value at stake that matters more than the spin itself.
How many names can it take?
It draws fairly from any number. The wheel stops being readable somewhere around fifty and the labels are hidden on very thin slices, but the draw itself is unaffected. For very long lists a picker is easier to read than a wheel.
Do the names go anywhere?
No. The names never leave your browser, there is no account, and there is nothing saved on our side. Close the tab and it is gone.
