About
Random should be simple.
Most wheel sites do the spinning part just fine. We wanted one that was nicer to use, easier to import into, and better when the result actually matters.
Paste the names. Spin the wheel. Save the proof if you need it.
That’s Spinnza.
Why we built it
Spinnza started with a small, annoying problem: a giveaway draw where somebody asked whether the winner had really been picked at random, and there was no good way to answer. A screenshot of a name proves nothing — it shows the end of a process, not the process. The question was never really about the random number generator. It was about whether the list had changed, whether bonus entries had been counted, and whether the draw had happened once or until it produced a convenient answer.
So we built the wheel we wanted, and then built one paid feature around that specific problem: a recording of the draw itself, with the entry count and a fingerprint of the exact entry list carried in the frame the whole way through. Everything else — the wheel, the spreadsheet import, weights, teams, saved lists, the winner card — is free and stays free.
Who makes it
Spinnza is built and run by a small independent team, not a company with a support department. If you write in, a person who worked on the thing you are writing about reads it. Bug reports and “this was confusing” messages are genuinely useful and get acted on — a fair amount of what is described on this site exists because somebody said something was annoying.
What we decided early
- The free wheel is the product. It is not a trial, and nothing useful has been held back to make the paid feature look better.
- Lists stay on your device. Names, spreadsheets, saved wheels and the draw itself all happen in your browser, so there is nothing to sign up for and nothing of yours on a server.
- The paid feature solves one real problem — showing a draw happened — and it costs $1.99 once, for that recording. There is no subscription, no account, and nothing that renews.
- We do not claim more than the software does. A recording is a record of a draw. It is not certification, and we are not going to call it one.
How it pays for itself
Advertising on the free pages, and one-time purchases of recorded proof spins. Ads never appear over the wheel, beside the controls, in fullscreen, or anywhere in a paid proof session.
That order matters to us. The wheel is the part people came for, and an ad wedged next to the spin button would make the free product worse to pay for the paid one. Ads live on the reading pages — the guides and the landing pages — where they are next to text rather than next to a control somebody is about to press.
What Spinnza is not
It is not a certification service, an auditor or a notary, and a recording is not a legal document. It is a clear, dated record of a draw you ran, which is what almost every dispute actually needs — but we would rather say that plainly than sell it as something stronger.
It also does not make a promotion lawful. Giveaways, sweepstakes and especially paid raffles are regulated differently in different countries and often differently again by state or region. Spinnza picks names; the rules you run under are still yours to get right.
