The wheel is the easy part. Getting the names on it is the work.
Wheel of Names is a good free spinner, and it will happily sit in a browser source. But the names have to already be in a list, which means you gathered them — reading chat, copying handles, pasting. Kloot puts a QR code on your overlay so viewers add themselves while you talk, and spins the same kind of wheel when you are ready.

Can Wheel of Names collect entries from my stream automatically?
No. Names are typed into the box or imported from a spreadsheet, so someone has to gather them first. Kloot shows a QR code on your overlay instead: viewers scan, enter themselves, and the count ticks up live. The draw then runs on stream and the winner claims from their phone.
The names arrive on their own
A QR code on your overlay, and a join code for anyone reading on a phone. Entries land while you keep streaming — no copying handles out of chat, and nothing to paste before you spin.
It runs without OBS at all
Kloot can run the whole giveaway in a browser window — prize, join code, a large QR and the live count — so a first-time streamer or an IRL room needs no browser source and nothing installed.
The draw is accountable afterwards
Every draw commits to a random seed before entries close and publishes it after, with entrants recorded as fingerprints rather than names. A spinner cannot offer that, because it never knew who was entered.
Kloot vs Wheel of Names
Both spin a wheel. The difference is everything either side of the spin.
Free to use
Wheel of Names is free with no paywall, and this page is not going to pretend otherwise. If pasting a list is all you need, use it — or use Kloot’s own free wheel, which needs no account either.
Viewers add themselves
Entries are typed into the box or imported from a spreadsheet. There is no mechanism for an audience to enter on its own.
Works as a browser source
Wheel of Names supports adding the wheel as a browser source and has a control panel for use during a broadcast.
Runs with no OBS at all
Winner is told on their own phone
A spinner has no idea who the entrants are, so it cannot contact one. You read the name out and hope they are watching.
Repeat viewers enter in one tap
A device that has entered once enters the next streamer’s giveaway without retyping anything.

If you already run giveaways with a spinner
Keep using a wheel — try ours first, free
Kloot’s free wheel at /free-tools/wheel is the same component this page is about, with no account. If pasting names is genuinely fine for you, stop there; nothing below is an upgrade you need.
Add the overlay when the pasting starts to hurt
One browser source, or the browser-window stage if you would rather not touch OBS. The prize card and QR appear on your stream.
Let the audience fill the wheel
Viewers scan and enter themselves. You watch the count rise instead of reading chat and copying handles, then spin when you are ready.
Kloot fits when
- You want the audience to enter without you collecting anything
- You run giveaways often enough that pasting is a chore
- Someone might accuse you of picking a friend, and you want a receipt
- You stream somewhere other than Twitch, or in a room
Wheel of Names fits when
- You already have the list and just need something to spin
- It is a classroom, a standup, or a one-off decision
- You want zero setup and zero account, today
- The audience is in the room and shouting names at you anyway
Frequently asked
Is Wheel of Names good for Twitch giveaways?
It works, and it is free. The catch is that you assemble the list yourself — reading chat, copying names, pasting them in — which is fine once and tedious weekly. It also cannot tell the winner they won, because it never knew who they were.
How do viewers enter a Kloot giveaway?
They scan the QR code on your overlay, or open kloot.gg/join and type the join code. No chat command, no bot, and no account — so it works on Twitch, YouTube, Kick, TikTok or in a room with a projector.
Do I need OBS?
No. Kloot can run the whole giveaway in a browser window, with the prize, the code, a large QR and the live count — useful for a first stream or an in-person event. If you do use OBS, it is one browser source.
Is there a free Kloot wheel I can just paste names into?
Yes, at /free-tools/wheel — the same wheel component, no account, nothing uploaded. It is there precisely because sometimes pasting a list is the right tool, and we would rather you used ours than felt sold to.
How does the winner find out?
A claim screen appears on their own phone with a countdown — two minutes by default. If nobody taps in time, Kloot rerolls automatically on the server, so an absent winner does not stall your stream.
