How ClickTheWheel is meant to be used

ClickTheWheel is a browser-based wheel spinner for visible, low-stakes selections. This page explains the practical boundaries around random results, privacy, public draws, saved wheels, live sessions, and ads.

Random picks

ClickTheWheel treats each listed entry as an eligible segment. If an entry appears twice, it gets two chances unless you remove the duplicate first.

Fair public draws

Hosts should clean entries, announce duplicate rules, show the final list count, spin visibly, and keep a result record for raffles or giveaways.

Privacy

Quick spins can happen without an account. Saved wheels, live rooms, and public gallery items should avoid private IDs, emails, phone numbers, and sensitive names.

Ads and monetization

When ads are enabled, ads should be separated from wheel controls and never presented as buttons, menus, downloads, results, or required actions.

Appropriate use boundaries

  • Use the wheel for low-stakes choices, classroom turns, raffles, prompts, chores, food choices, teams, and casual games.
  • Do not use random results as a replacement for medical, legal, financial, hiring, discipline, safety, or emergency decisions.
  • Do not publish wheels that expose private personal information, student records, addresses, contact details, passwords, or private codes.
  • Do not ask users to click ads, confuse ads with app controls, or place ads where people may click by accident while spinning.

Proof workflow for public draws

  1. Step 1: Prepare the entry source before opening the wheel.
  2. Step 2: Remove blank lines, ineligible entries, and accidental duplicates.
  3. Step 3: Explain whether duplicates are weighted entries or mistakes.
  4. Step 4: Show the final list count before spinning.
  5. Step 5: Capture the wheel before the spin and the winner result after the spin.
  6. Step 6: Use result history or a winner log when multiple prizes are drawn.
