Understanding Random Selection

Wheel Picker is designed to make completely fair, unbiased random selections for your team. Here’s how it works.

True Randomness

Wheel Picker uses a cryptographically secure random number generator to ensure every selection is truly random. This means:

• Every option has an exactly equal chance of being selected
• Previous spins don’t influence future results
• The outcome cannot be predicted or manipulated
• The selection is mathematically fair

Transparency

One of Wheel Picker’s core principles is transparency:

• The wheel spin is visible to everyone in the channel
• All participants can see the full list of options
• Everyone witnesses the selection process
• There’s no hidden logic or favoritism

This visibility builds trust and ensures everyone knows the decision was made fairly.

Equal Probability

Every option has an equal chance of being selected, regardless of list size. With 5 options, each has a 20% chance. With 10 options, each has a 10% chance.

Technical Details

Wheel Picker generates random numbers using your browser’s crypto.getRandomValues() API, which is designed for cryptographic applications and provides high-quality randomness. The selection algorithm ensures uniform distribution across all options.
