Why creators switch
A wheel your winners can trust
A spin on screen is fun. For a prize, Perkadoo can run the same list as a verifiable draw, with a link your audience can check.
Clean enough to stream
No ads pop up mid-spin, so you can screen-share it on a live or record it for a reel.
Ready-made wheels
Start from a prize wheel, a yes-or-no wheel or a classroom name picker, then edit the slices.
Spin for fun, draw for prizes
A spin happens in your browser, so only you saw it land. A verifiable draw locks your list, waits for a public random number nobody controls and publishes the result with its proof. Use the spin for a classroom or a stream, and the draw when someone wins something.
Spin the wheel free, no ads
