About

About SpinOfLuck

SpinOfLuck is a free, browser-based random name picker wheel — no account required, no data uploaded, no fuss. Our mission is to make fair, transparent random selection simple and enjoyable for teachers, streamers, event hosts, and anyone who needs to pick a winner without bias.

Our mission

We built SpinOfLuck because fair selection should be effortless. Whether you're a teacher cold-calling students, a streamer picking a viewer giveaway winner, or a team deciding who brings snacks, you deserve a tool that is fast, honest, and gets out of your way.

SpinOfLuck runs entirely in your browser — your names never leave your device. There is no account to create, no signup wall, and no cost. Selections are made using your browser's cryptographic random number generator so every spin is genuinely fair, not just visually random.

Who SpinOfLuck is for

Teachers

Pick a student to answer, assign groups, or run classroom activities without the awkwardness of choosing by hand.

Students

Use it for study group assignments, random topic selection, or just settling friendly debates fairly.

Streamers

Run live viewer giveaways or pick chat participants on stream — the spinning wheel makes every draw feel exciting.

Event organizers

Draw door-prize winners, raffle entries, or random volunteers at conferences, school events, and community nights.

Businesses

Randomize team-building activities, lunch choices, or sprint retrospective topics without the bias of manual picking.

Giveaway hosts

Run fair, transparent winner draws for social media giveaways, brand promotions, or subscriber milestones.

What we believe

These are the principles we design and build around — not marketing copy, but constraints we actually hold ourselves to.

  • Fairness should be provable, not assumed
  • Privacy by default — your data stays in your browser
  • No account, ever
  • Free for everyone
  • Accessible on any device
  • No gambling, betting, or real-money prizes

The team

SpinOfLuck is built and maintained by the SpinOfLuck team — a small independent group who believe that good tools should be free, honest, and built with care. We don't have a large corporation behind us, and that's intentional: staying small keeps us focused on making the tool genuinely useful rather than monetising your attention.

We welcome feedback, bug reports, and ideas. If you have a suggestion or something isn't working as expected, head to our contact page and let us know.

Get in touch

Have a question, idea, or issue? We'd love to hear from you. Visit our contact page or email us directly at hello@spinofluck.com. We read every message and aim to reply promptly.
