Keep the Wheels Spinning

Where the Money Actually Goes

Wheel Spin Pro is not a company. There are no salaries, no office and no marketing budget. Donations cover the running costs of keeping a site with more than a hundred and forty tools online and quick:

• Hosting and bandwidth. The biggest line by far. Every picker ships its own artwork and its own engine, so the site is heavier to serve than a blog.
• The domain and certificate. Small, annual, unavoidable.
• Backups and monitoring, so an outage is noticed and a mistake can be rolled back.
• Time. Anything left over buys hours to build the next tool and fix the reported bugs rather than squeezing them into evenings.

What it does not go to

No trackers are sold, no email list is rented, and no user data is monetised in any way. Wheel entries stay on your device unless you explicitly save or share them. Donating does not buy influence over a draw either — results are generated in your browser with the Web Crypto API, and nobody, including the person who built it, can nudge one.

Free Ways to Help That Matter Just as Much

Most people who use this site will never donate, and that is entirely fine — it is free on purpose. If you want to help without spending anything:

• Report a bug. Especially anything that looks unfair. A reproducible fairness bug goes to the top of the queue ahead of every feature.
• Tell someone. A teacher who spends five minutes picking names, a streamer running a giveaway, an organiser drawing raffle tickets — that is who this was built for.
• Link to it. If you write about classroom tools, giveaways or decision-making, a link genuinely helps people find the site.
• Suggest a picker. A good number of the tools here exist because somebody asked for them.

Before You Donate

• It is a gift, not a purchase. Nothing on the site is locked, and donating unlocks nothing — every tool already works for everyone.
• No subscription. These are one-off contributions; nothing recurring is set up and nothing bills you again.
• Payments are handled by the provider, not by this site. Card and wallet details are never seen or stored here.
• Crypto is irreversible. If you send a coin donation, check the address and the network carefully — a mistake cannot be undone by anyone.
• Changed your mind? Email the contact address and a conventional payment will be returned, no questions asked.

Donations are personal contributions to an independent project, not a business transaction, so no VAT invoice or receipt for accounting purposes is issued.
