Helpful guides that support the product, not just the word count.
These pages explain how to use GiveASpin fairly, when to choose the right tool, how local storage and sharing work, and how to fit the app cleanly into streamer workflows.
Guide
How to use a spin wheel fairly
Fair use is mostly about setup discipline: clean entries, clear rules, visible weights, and a result trail that people can follow.
Guide
Weighted wheel explained
Weights change probability by changing each entry’s share of the total weight. The wheel visual, probability panel, and receipts should all agree.
Guide
How to run a giveaway draw
A good giveaway draw is simple to verify: clean entrant list, visible rules, visible settings, and a log you can keep.
Guide
How to use a wheel in OBS browser source
The core workflow is simple: open the right route, choose a chromeless or transparent layout, then add it as a Browser Source in OBS.
Guide
How to make random teams
Good team generation is mostly about choosing the right output shape, then deciding whether simple strength balancing and locks are worth using.
Guide
How to choose between wheel, shuffle, and random group tools

Guide
Accessibility options guide
Accessibility in GiveASpin is designed as an enhancement layer, not a flattened fallback version of the product.
Guide
Privacy, local save, and sharing guide
GiveASpin is intentionally local-first. Most state stays in the browser, named saves live in IndexedDB, and oversized setups fall back to JSON export.
