Is the Wheel Truly Random?

Yes, and Here's How We Guarantee It

To ensure genuinely unpredictable results, this site does not use the standard Math.random() function. Instead, the wheel's physics are driven by crypto.getRandomValues(), a specialized, high-security function built into modern web browsers.

This cryptographically secure function uses high-entropy sources from your operating system, like hardware timings, mouse movements, and keyboard delays, to generate truly unpredictable results. The secure random number isn't just used to pick a winner from a list—it's used within the physics simulation of the wheel, ensuring the outcome is genuinely random and impossible to predict.

How Come I Got the Same Result Twice?

This is a great question, and it's actually a normal part of true randomness. Think of it like flipping a fair coin. It's entirely possible to get "Heads" three times in a row. Each spin of the wheel is a completely new, independent event. Past results have zero influence on the next outcome.

If you want to make sure that a winner doesn't get picked again, remove the winner after each spin by clicking the Remove button in the winner modal.

Use in OBS or Streamlabs

Yes! You can add the wheel as a browser source in streaming software. Perfect for interactive streams and viewer engagement.

How to Set It Up

  1. Open OBS Studio or Streamlabs OBS
  2. Add a new source → Browser Source
  3. Set the URL to: https://wheelofnamesapp.com
  4. Set width to 1920 and height to 1080
  5. Check "Shutdown source when not visible" and "Refresh browser when scene becomes active"
  6. Click OK and position/resize as needed

Common Streamer Uses

  • In-game challenges: Spin to pick a random handicap, like "pistol only" or "no scope"
  • Character builds: Let the wheel choose your class, skills, or starting weapon
  • Viewer giveaways: Spin to randomly pick a winner from your chat or subscriber list
  • Game modes: Randomly select which game mode or map to play next
  • Challenge selection: Pick random challenges or tasks for your stream

Pro Tip: Create a dedicated scene in OBS just for the wheel, so you can easily switch to it when you want to spin. You can also use the browser source's interactivity settings to allow viewers to see the wheel spin in real-time!
