How the Rigged Wheel Spinner Works
Add names to the wheel
Type names into the input field and press Enter. You can paste a list, upload a CSV (Boss plan), or start with the sample names. Up to 11 on the free plan, 30 with Premium, unlimited with Boss.
Secretly rig the outcome
Add a comma after any name to guarantee it lands first, or a dot to force it last. These characters are invisible to anyone watching. Premium users can set exact probability percentages (e.g. 70% for one person). Boss users can define a complete ordered result list.
Spin — it looks 100% random
Click the wheel to spin. It decelerates naturally and lands on your chosen winner. Share your screen, project it on a TV, or run it on a video call — the rigging is completely invisible to everyone watching.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the rigged wheel spinner work?
Add names to the wheel and use a comma after any name to make it land first, or a dot to force it last. The characters are stripped from the display, so viewers see normal names. The wheel looks completely fair to everyone watching.
Can people tell the wheel is rigged?
No. The wheel decelerates with natural physics and all segments look equal in size. The hidden control characters are never shown. Even on a shared screen, nothing gives it away. It is indistinguishable from a truly random spin.
Is the rigged wheel spinner free?
The free plan supports up to 11 names with the comma/dot rigging method. Premium (from €2.45/month) adds probability control, up to 30 names, and a discreet neutral domain. Boss (€14.99/month or €112 lifetime) adds unlimited names, ordered lists, CSV upload, and custom colors.
What is the difference between rigged mode and weighted probability mode?
Rigged mode guarantees the exact winner — comma forces first, dot forces last. Weighted probability mode (Premium+) lets you assign percentage chances, so one person could have 70% while six others split 30%. Both look identical to a standard random spin.
How is Rigged Wheel different from Wheel of Names?
Wheel of Names picks winners at random with no control. Rigged Wheel is specifically built to let you control the outcome while the spin looks random. You cannot rig a Wheel of Names spin — it is genuinely random. Rigged Wheel gives you full control while keeping the visual identical to a fair random wheel.
Can I use this as a fake wheel spinner for live streams?
Yes. Many streamers use it as a fake random wheel for giveaways — it looks genuine on camera or screen share. Add all viewer names, mark the intended winner with a comma, and spin. The audience sees a fair draw. Works on Twitch, YouTube Live, TikTok, and any screen share tool.
Can I rig a spin the wheel for classroom use?
Absolutely. This is our most common use case. Teachers rigged spin the wheel to pick students for reading, answering questions, or assignments. The class sees a fair random spin while the teacher has already decided who needs to participate next. Ensures every student gets a turn without the stress of cold calling.
Does this work on mobile?
Yes, the rigged wheel spinner is fully optimized for phones and tablets. Spin it on your phone, project it on a big screen, or share it during a video call. No app install required — it runs entirely in the browser.
Can I set a complete winner order in advance?
Yes, with the Boss plan. The ordered list feature lets you define the exact sequence all winners will be picked in. Each spin reveals the next person in your list, but the wheel shuffles the segments so observers cannot see the pattern. Perfect for tournaments or structured draws.
