Why FateWheel
Everything you need to run a fair giveaway
From smart entry filters to a one-tap winner reveal you can post straight to your Story or Reel — all free, no sign-up.
Share to Stories & Reels
Pick your winner, then send the reveal clip straight to your Instagram or TikTok Story, a Reel, or anywhere else via your phone’s native share sheet — no editing, no watermark.
Download the video or image
Save the winner reveal as a vertical 1080×1920 MP4 or a shareable image — ideal for posting as proof or reusing later.
Spin, slot or live reveal
Reveal the winner with a spinning wheel, a slot-machine reel, or go fullscreen for a recordable live draw your audience can watch in real time.
Smart entry filters
Require a keyword, a minimum number of @mentions (tag-a-friend), or a date cutoff. Exclude accounts, remove duplicates, and cap entries per person.
Provably fair draws
Winners are chosen with cryptographically-strong randomness (crypto.randomBytes + rejection sampling), so every qualifying entry has an exactly equal chance.
Free, no sign-up
No account, no install, no watermark. Run a fair draw, share the reveal clip, and redraw if you need to — instantly, on mobile or desktop.

- Live streams: Quick draw during a live broadcast — no setup, no waiting.
- Referral rewards: Add bonus entries for users who referred friends to boost participation.
Frequently asked questions
Q.Is this giveaway picker really free?
Yes. FateWheel never charges for picking winners. There are sensible per-request limits so the tool stays available to everyone, but normal giveaway use is fully free.
Q.Does it work with private Instagram or YouTube posts?
No — the picker can only read comments from posts that are publicly visible. If the post requires login to view, the scrape will fail.
Q.How fair is the draw?
Winners are picked with a cryptographically-strong random number generator (Node.js crypto.randomBytes) and rejection sampling to remove modulo bias. Every qualifying entry has an equal chance.
Q.Can I require commenters to tag friends?
Yes. Use the "Minimum @mentions" filter to require a specific number of @ tags in each comment.
Q.What if a winner does not meet the rules?
Click "Draw again" to pick another winner from the same pool. Or add their username to the exclude list and re-fetch.
Q.Does TikTok work?
Not yet — TikTok support is on the roadmap. For now you can manually paste TikTok comments using the Manual option.
Q.Can I pick more than one winner?
Yes. Set the number of winners in the filters and FateWheel draws that many unique winners in a single draw — no repeats.
