## Frequently Asked Questions

### Can a spin wheel be rigged?

Any wheel can be, which is why every SpinTheList spin uses crypto.getRandomValues and the /fairness page runs 100,000 spins live so you can check the results yourself. Weights are visible right in the entry list, never hidden behind the scenes.

### How do I give someone more chances?

Add a colon and a number after their name, like Ben:5. That entry now takes up five times the wheel space of a plain entry with no number.

### How do I check a wheel is fair?

Visit /fairness and run a live batch of spins. It shows the actual outcome distribution next to the expected odds, so you can confirm the weights you set are the weights you get.

### Do weights work with remove after spin?

Yes. Turn on Remove after spin and each winner leaves the wheel with their weight, so the remaining entries' odds recalculate automatically for the next spin.

### Can I use decimals?

Yes, Name:1.5 works the same as a whole number weight. Any entry left without a colon defaults to a weight of 1.

### Are the odds shown to everyone?

Yes. The weight is part of the entry text itself, so anyone looking at the list can see exactly how the odds are set before you spin.
