Frequently asked questions
How do I make some prizes rarer than others?
List common prizes several times and rare prizes once. On a 10-slice wheel, a prize listed once has a 1 in 10 chance, and a prize listed three times has a 3 in 10 chance.
Can I use this prize wheel at a trade show or event?
Yes. Open it on a laptop or tablet, press Full screen, and let visitors click Spin. It works offline once loaded, so a weak venue Wi-Fi connection is fine.
Can I stop the grand prize being won twice?
Yes. When someone wins it, press "Remove from wheel". It's taken off for the rest of the event.
Do I need to follow any rules for giveaways?
Giveaway rules vary by country and platform. Check local laws and the rules of any social network you run the giveaway on, especially when entry requires a purchase.
