Instagram comment giveaways
Paste the commenter list straight into Bulk Edit and spin on camera. Your followers watch the same wheel you do, which is worth more than any "winner announced" caption.

How creators and businesses use the Giveaway Wheel
Anywhere a prize needs an owner and the audience needs to believe the pick was clean.
Email list prize draws
Export your subscriber names, drop them in, and pull a winner without touching a spreadsheet formula nobody else can audit.
In-store loyalty spins
Put the wheel on a tablet at the counter and let customers spin for a discount tier. Faster than scratch cards and nothing to reprint.
Event raffle draws
Run the draw on the room screen so the whole audience sees the entry list and the result at the same moment. No envelope, no hat, no doubt.
Employee appreciation
Pick who gets the voucher, the parking space, or the early finish. Random beats managerial discretion when the prize is small but the fairness matters.
YouTube live giveaways
Add entries between segments and spin on stream in real time. Chat sees the wheel land, so the result is settled before anyone can question it.
Run a fair, transparent draw
The hard part of a giveaway is not picking a name — it is convincing everyone else that you picked it honestly.
Truly random
The winner is chosen with the browser's cryptographic random number generator before the animation even starts, and the wheel is then animated to land on it. Spinning harder or waiting longer changes nothing — there is no input that influences the outcome.
Spin it live
Screen-share the wheel and spin on camera. An unedited spin in front of an audience answers the "how do we know?" question better than any announcement post.
Multi-round draws
Turn on Auto-Remove and each winner drops off the wheel automatically. Run first, second and third prize back to back without anyone winning twice.
Share the proof
Copy the share URL before you spin and post it. The link encodes your exact entry list, so anyone can open it and confirm you did not quietly edit the entrants afterwards.
How to run a live giveaway
Five steps from a pile of entries to a winner nobody argues with.

- 2Paste every name into the Bulk Edit tab, one per line, or import a .csv.
- 3Enable Auto-Remove in Options if you are drawing more than one winner.
- 4Screen-share your browser and hit SPIN while your audience is watching.
- 5Screenshot the result and save the share URL as your proof of the draw.
Giveaway wheel — questions organisers ask
How do I prove the winner was chosen fairly?
Copy the share URL before you spin and post it publicly — it encodes your exact entry list, so anyone can open the identical wheel later. Then spin on a live stream or screen recording. Between a published entry list and an unedited spin, there is nothing left to take on trust.
Can I pick multiple winners without the same person winning twice?
Yes. Turn on Auto-Remove in Options and each winner is removed from the wheel as soon as they are drawn. Spin once per prize and work down your tiers — nobody can come up twice.
Can I import a list from a spreadsheet or CSV?
Yes. Use Import to upload a .txt or .csv file, or paste a public link to one from Google Drive or Dropbox. You can also copy a spreadsheet column straight into the Bulk Edit tab, since it arrives as one name per line.
Is there a limit to how many entries I can add?
There is no hard cap in the app. What limits you in practice is readability: past roughly 100 entries the segment labels get very small on screen, which matters if your audience is watching. For very large draws, consider splitting entrants into rounds.
Can I add extra entries to give some participants a higher chance?
Yes — that is how bonus entries work. Add someone twice for double the chance, or raise the weight on a single entry instead of duplicating it: a weight of 3 gives three times the odds of a weight of 1, and the entries panel shows each entrant’s exact percentage. Just say so in your rules, since a weighted draw is only fair if entrants know about it.
About the Giveaway Wheel
A giveaway wheel solves a problem that has almost nothing to do with randomness. Picking a name is easy; proving you picked it fairly is the bit that decides whether your audience enters the next one. Paste your entrants, spin on camera, and the proof is the process itself.
As an online raffle picker it fits the way giveaways actually run. Bulk Edit takes a pasted list of Instagram commenters or a spreadsheet column; Import handles a .csv. Auto-Remove turns one wheel into a multi-tier draw where no entrant can win twice. And copying the share link before you spin gives you a published entry list — the single most useful thing an Instagram giveaway picker can offer.
It works as a prize wheel online for creators, shops, event organisers and marketing teams alike: free, no signup, and nothing to install before you go live. Use this giveaway wheel as your random winner picker on stream, on stage, or on a tablet at the counter — a giveaway winner spinner that looks the same to you and to everyone watching.
