Fair Randomness Explained
EasySpinWheel uses the browser's cryptographic random number generator instead of a simple basic random function. The selected entry is chosen in the browser, then the wheel animation is calculated so the visible pointer lands on the selected segment.
What random means here
Random does not mean perfectly even in a small number of spins. If five names are on the wheel, one name can still appear twice before another appears once. That pattern can feel surprising, but it is part of normal independent random selection.
Why repeats can happen
Each spin is independent unless you remove entries after they are selected. A repeated winner does not automatically mean the wheel is broken. Random results can cluster naturally, just like repeated heads can happen during coin flips.
When repeats are not allowed
Use the remove-winner option after each spin, or enable auto-remove winner. This changes the participant list after every result so the same entry cannot be selected again unless duplicate entries remain. If entries have duplicate counts, remove or reduce those counts according to your rules.
Practical fairness checklist
- Review entries before spinning.
- Remove accidental duplicates.
- Explain whether duplicate chances are intentional.
- Use history when you need a simple record.
- Do not use the tool where certified randomization or legal compliance is required.
