Is Name Spinner free?

Yes. Name Spinner is free to use with no signup required. Add names, spin, and share your wheel with a link.

Who uses a name spinner wheel?

Teachers use name spinners for fair student picks, team leads for meeting order and roles, and groups for everyday decisions like who goes first.

Is Name Spinner fair?

Yes. Each spin picks one winner with equal odds per wheel segment (unless you add duplicates or weights). The winning segment is chosen before the animation finishes, using cryptographically secure randomness from the browser when available.

How random is the spin?

Name Spinner uses crypto.getRandomValues in your browser to pick winners and shuffle lists — stronger than a typical Math.random() picker. Spins run locally with no account required; share links encode your list in the URL.

Can I spin again while the wheel is moving?

Yes — on the homepage you can enable repeat spin limits (off, up to 3, up to 5, or unlimited). Each re-spin picks a new random winner with the same crypto-backed fairness; caps prevent players from re-spinning until they get a preferred result.

Fair picks. Unfair commentary.
