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 required, with light FateWheel branding.
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 and no install. Free exports include light FateWheel branding. Run a fair draw, share the reveal clip, and redraw if you need to — instantly, on mobile or desktop.
Verifiable winner certificates
Every draw gets a shareable certificate with a unique link so entrants can verify the winner — or browse the public results directory to see recent draws from other creators.
Share the win
Show the winner, beautifully
The draw is only half the story. Every result turns into ready-to-post proof — a reveal video, a winner image, a verifiable certificate, and an AI-designed winner announcement.
Our AI reads your giveaway post and designs a branded winner announcement — square for the feed, or 9:16 for Stories and Reels.
Verified certificate
Every draw gets a public, tamper-proof link your entrants can check.
Free exports carry light FateWheel branding.
Winner card styles
Style the results to your brand
Seven winner-card designs — two free, five with Pro — each rendered in your brand colors on the video, image, and certificate.

YouTube comment picker — FAQ
Q.How do I pick a random YouTube comment winner?
Paste your public YouTube video URL, click Fetch comments, optionally set filters (keyword, @mentions, date), then hit Start draw. FateWheel pulls the comments and selects a winner with a cryptographically-strong random pick.
Q.Is the YouTube comment picker free?
Yes — picking a winner is completely free with no sign-up. Sensible per-request limits keep the tool available to everyone, but normal giveaway use is free.
Q.Does it work with YouTube Shorts and live premiere comments?
Yes. Any publicly visible comments on a standard video, Short, or premiere can be pulled. Comments on private or members-only content cannot be read.
Q.Can I require viewers to leave a keyword or tag a friend?
Yes. Use the keyword filter to require a specific word, or the minimum @mentions filter to require viewers to tag friends in their comment.
Q.How fair is the draw?
Winners are chosen with Node.js crypto.randomBytes and rejection sampling to remove modulo bias, so every qualifying comment has an exactly equal chance.
Q.Can I remove duplicate comments from the same channel?
Yes. "One entry per unique username" keeps each channel to a single entry, so prolific commenters do not skew the odds.
Q.Do I need to log in to my YouTube or Google account to use it?
No. You never connect or log into a YouTube account — just paste the public video or Shorts URL. FateWheel reads the publicly visible comments directly, no channel access required.
