Who Pays? Spin the Wheel to Pick Who Buys the Round

Nobody wants to decide who goes to the bar next? Type the names, spin the wheel and let chance pick. It runs in your browser and nothing is saved.

Press spin to pick who pays.

Is a spin wheel fair?

Every name has the same chance on every spin: the wheel uses your browser's cryptographic random number generator. That is fair for a single decision, but over a whole night chance can pick the same person twice while someone else never buys. A spin is best as a tie-breaker, not as the whole system.

Fairer over a whole night

For a night of rounds, a rotation based on who is furthest behind is fairer than pure chance. Our guide to six fair ways to decide who buys the next round compares rotation, the spin wheel and other methods. The RoundFair app combines both: it tracks whose turn it is and who is behind, and has a spin wheel built in for when nobody wants to decide.

Frequently asked questions

How do I decide who pays for the next round?

The fairest way over a night is a rotation where the person who is furthest behind buys next. For a single decision, a random pick such as this wheel is quick and neutral.

Is the result random?

Yes. Each name has an equal chance on each spin. Nothing is stored or sent anywhere.
