Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a limit to how many names I can add?
Technically, no! While the wheel looks best with 2 to 50 names, our engine can handle hundreds of entries. For very long lists, we recommend using the 'Basic' input mode for speed.
Can I remove a winner after they are picked?
Yes! When a winner is selected, a popup appears with a "Remove Winner" button. This allows you to continue spinning the wheel for the remaining names without duplicates.
Can I save my list of names?
FateWheel automatically saves your current list in your browser's local storage. This means if you refresh the page or come back later, your names will still be there!
Are the results truly unbiased?
Absolutely. Our algorithm uses a cryptographically-inspired randomization method to ensure that every segment on the wheel has a fair, mathematically-sound chance of winning based on its weight.
