How to use it at the table
- Clear the example names and type the people who are in, one per line. Only add people who agreed to play.
- Decide if “Split it evenly” stays. With it, there is a chance nobody pays for everyone.
- Agree the stakes before the spin: the whole bill, or just the coffees, or just the tip.
- Spin once on someone’s phone where everyone can see. The result stands.
House rules people use
- Rotate fairly: after each outing, give last time’s payer “*0” so they cannot be picked twice in a row. Save the wheel in My wheels as “Friday coffee” and it remembers.
- Small stakes only: use it for rounds that are cheap and roughly the same each week, like coffee or snacks. For a big dinner, split the bill.
- Loser picks: instead of paying, whoever lands chooses the next place or carries the order.
- Kids’ version: spin who gets to choose the takeout, who sets the table, or who does the washing up.
Why a wheel instead of a hat
Everyone sees the same spin, nobody can palm a slip of paper, and the pick comes from your browser’s cryptographic random generator, so each name really does have the same chance. The Results tab keeps a list of who won each time, which settles the “I paid last week” argument too.
Questions and answers
Is it fair to make one person pay for everyone?
Only if everyone agreed to it and the amounts are small, like a round of coffee among friends who meet every week. Over a few months it evens out. For a big bill, use the wheel to choose who orders and split the cost.
Can I give someone a better or worse chance?
Yes, with a weight: “Sam *2” doubles Sam’s chance, “Sam *0” takes Sam off for this spin. Do it in front of everyone so the spin stays fair.
Can I use it for things other than paying?
Of course. It works for any “who does it” question: who drives, who fetches lunch, who washes up. The random name picker is handy for longer lists of names.
