Why NamesOnWheel?

NamesOnWheel is the fairest, fastest, and most audience-friendly free wheel spinner. Verifiable CSPRNG, ad-free result screen, offline-ready, and no signup required.

NamesOnWheel is built around three principles no other free wheel spinner fully delivers: verifiable fairness (a public 100,000-spin chi-square test you run in your own browser), a result screen that is always ad-free (never an ad next to a student's name on a projector), and a static-site architecture that loads in under 1.5 seconds on any mobile device. It also works fully offline as a PWA, requires no account, and saves your wheels locally.

What NamesOnWheel does differently

Verifiable fairness: every spin is driven by crypto.getRandomValues with rejection sampling to eliminate modulo bias. More importantly, you don't have to trust us — the Fairness page runs 100,000 live spins in your browser and shows the chi-square distribution. No other free wheel publishes this.

Ad-free result screen: the moment of reveal — when the winner's name is shown — is always clean. We run a single banner ad below the wheel on the home page to keep the service free, but the result screen is, and will remain, ad-free.

Built for audiences: fullscreen mode, high-contrast Classroom theme, Audience mode that hides the entry list, confetti on reveal, Flow mode for rapid back-to-back draws. Every detail is designed for the moment you're in front of people.

Frequently asked questions

What's the single most important feature?

Verifiable fairness. We publish a page that runs 100,000 live spins through our production code in your browser and shows a chi-square p-value. You can independently confirm the randomness is real — not just claimed.

Why does the ad-free result screen matter?

When you're projecting to a class of students or announcing a giveaway winner on a live stream, an ad sitting next to the winner's name is awkward. NamesOnWheel will never show an ad on the result screen — no exceptions.

How fast does it load?

Under 1.5 seconds Largest Contentful Paint on mobile. The entire app is a static page served from Cloudflare's global edge — no server-side rendering, no framework hydration overhead.

Does it work without internet?

Yes — installed as a Progressive Web App on first visit and works fully offline thereafter. Ideal for classrooms with flaky Wi-Fi or workshops in basements.

Is it really free with no account?

Yes. Free forever, no signup, no email required. Funded by a single non-intrusive banner ad below the wheel — never on the result screen.

Can I save my wheels?

Yes — your most recent wheel is auto-saved in your browser. Use 'My Wheels' to save multiple named setups and switch between them instantly. Use Share to get a permanent URL for any wheel.
