A simple workflow
How to pick a giveaway winner
Prepare the entry list first, then make the draw easy for participants to understand.
- 1
Close and verify entries
Export or collect all valid entries after the deadline. Remove ineligible submissions and standardize handles before adding them to the wheel.
- 2
Paste one entry per line
Use a name, username, ticket number, or order reference for each eligible entry. Check duplicates against the rules of your promotion.
- 3
Show the final list and spin
If the draw is public, briefly show the number of accepted entries, explain the redraw rule, and spin where viewers can see the result.
- 4
Record and contact the winner
Save the winner and draw time in your records. Contact them through the channel described in your official rules, never through an unexpected payment request.
Useful in real life
Giveaways and draws you can run with the wheel
The wheel works best for a finalized list of eligible entries, whether the prize is large or simply for fun.
Live-stream prizes
Share the wheel during a stream, confirm the participant count, and draw while the audience watches the pointer stop.
Event raffles
Use ticket numbers or attendee codes for a community fundraiser, club event, conference, or end-of-event prize draw.
Customer appreciation
Select from eligible order references, newsletter entrants, or loyalty members without displaying unnecessary personal details.
Multiple prize draws
Enable eliminate winner when one person may win only once. Draw prizes in the order published in your rules.
Community challenges
Choose a winner among completed challenge entries, volunteer submissions, creative prompts, or member nominations.
A thoughtful approach
A fair draw starts before you press Spin
Randomness determines which eligible entry wins; it cannot decide which entries should be eligible. Publish clear start and end times, entry requirements, prize details, geographic limits, and redraw conditions before the giveaway begins. Apply those rules consistently when preparing the final list.
Decide how duplicates work. A one-person-one-entry promotion should be deduplicated before the spin, while a ticketed raffle may intentionally include several unique ticket numbers for one participant. NameSpinly treats every line as one entry, so the input list must reflect the chance structure described in your rules.
For public draws, transparency is often more valuable than a complicated setup. State the number of eligible entries, show that the list is loaded, explain whether previous winners will be eliminated, and capture the completed spin. Avoid exposing email addresses, phone numbers, or full order details on screen; public usernames or ticket codes are usually safer labels.
How random is the giveaway wheel?
For each spin, every active line has the same chance of being selected. NameSpinly uses secure randomness available in the browser to choose the result, and the wheel animation reveals that predetermined random selection in a clear visual way.
If the same participant appears twice, they receive two active entries. That may be correct for ticket-based promotions or incorrect for a one-entry-per-person giveaway. Review the list before the draw and keep your promotion rules and any legal requirements separate from the wheel itself.
Common questions
Giveaway wheel FAQ
Can I draw more than one giveaway winner?
Yes. Turn on eliminate winner, spin for the first prize, and continue. Each selected entry is removed so it cannot win again unless you reset the list.
Can participants watch the draw live?
Yes. Share your browser window in a live stream or video call, or project it at an event. The wheel and winner result are designed to be easy to follow on screen.
Does NameSpinly verify giveaway eligibility?
No. You must collect, verify, and prepare the eligible entries according to your published rules. The wheel randomly selects from the list you provide.
Are duplicate entries automatically removed?
No. Duplicate lines remain separate entries because some raffles intentionally allow multiple tickets. Deduplicate the list first when your rules allow only one entry per person.
