Random Name Picker Wheel for Fair Winner Selection
Need to pick a winner for your raffle, giveaway, or classroom activity? Our random name picker wheel is the professional-grade spinner tool trusted by teachers, streamers, and event organizers worldwide. Unlike basic wheel of names tools, GoSpinWheel delivers advanced features that make winner selection transparent, fair, and engaging.
Whether you're running a contest, drawing raffle tickets, or selecting students for classroom activities, this online wheel spinner provides the fairness and transparency your audience demands. Every spin uses cryptographically secure randomization—mathematically impossible to rig or predict.
🚀 Why This Random Name Picker Outperforms Other Wheel Spinners
Multi-Wheel Support for Complex Selections Need to pick both a winner AND their prize? Run up to 6 wheels simultaneously. Spin one wheel for participant names and another for prize options—perfect for raffles, giveaways, and lottery-style events where multiple draws are required.
Weighted Entries for Fair Raffle Draws Hosting a contest where participants bought multiple tickets? Assign weight values to give people with 5 entries five times the chance of those with 1 entry. This makes our tool ideal for charity raffles, fundraising draws, and paid giveaways.
OBS Green Screen for Live Streaming Streamers on Twitch and YouTube love our dedicated OBS mode. Enable the transparent green screen background with one click, then overlay the spinning wheel directly onto your broadcast. Perfect for subscriber giveaways, follower contests, and interactive stream events.
Elimination Mode for Multiple Unique Winners Drawing three different winners? Turn on Elimination Mode. Once a name wins, it's automatically removed from the wheel—guaranteeing no duplicate winners. Ideal for picking first, second, and third place in contests.
