When to Use the Wheel Spinner

Wheel Spinner Tips

  • Paste a class roster directly into the text area for instant name-picker setup.
  • For giveaways, screen-share the wheel and let the audience watch the spin live.
  • Remove winners after each spin to avoid duplicates when assigning unique prizes or tasks.
  • The more items you add, the more dramatic the spin looks as it passes through segments.
